hi,
i’ll be turning 17 in january & have been spending sometime looking for a possible first car. The car i really want is a kp61 starlet but my second choice is a mini. I was just wondering what one is like for a first car?
the other problem is insuring any car, does anyone know of any cheap(ish) car insurance for a 17 year old in a mini because the quotes i have been getting atm are upwards of £1800?
thanks
kieran
if your only 17, i wouldnt bother trying to get insured on a cooper or ne 1275cc, unless ur willing to pay atleast 1400 quid 4 ur insurance!!
if i was u id go 4 a 998cc
I’d second that and offer Lancaster Insurance as a first port of call.
I passed my test two months ago, just turned 24, and they gave me the best fully comp., agreed valuation quote out there on my 998c Designer. A mere £40/mth. Everywhere else was quoting me up in the hundreds.
geez mate that seems alot 4 ur age?
i turned 17 in may and am currently on a provisional licsence…
im paying £786 fully comp, for my 1980 998cc
thats tha cheapest i found from a company called Frizzell’s
cheaper if you phone them up than online
yes that is very expensive & that was the cheapest quote for a number of cars (varying cc’s) 3rd party, fire & theft but they were online.
I pay £575 in my name for insurance at 17.
sam
what company is that with, and is it fully comp

3rd party with footman james. 
Try liverpoolvictoria, found them quite cheap last year on another car. I’m with noel dazely now on a ‘car’ and they are cheap(ish) as well.
Insurance for a provisional licence holder is always expensive. When i was insured on an nissan Almera as an additional driver on a provisional i increased the price of the premium. When i passed i reduced the price. Insurance is a crazy thing. It was fairly expensive when i got insured on my mini equinox but that was because of the mods. but it was still lower than 1K.
go for a 998 engine, they are cheap to insure, and just have a standard which will make it cheaper too, my insurance on my 1275 was 660 a year third party with no no claims and id only been driving 3 months, i forget who it was with tho, ill find out and post 2moro
well i was 17 wen i was insured on my cooper 1275, that was 1200quid with liverpool vitoria fully comp, that was bout 4 months ago
cheers guys, looks like i’ll be giving liverpool victoria and footman james a call! if i get a mini that is
