Yep...

Insurance absolutely hammers you, it's way too expensive.

Personally, I'm coming up to 1 year no-claims soon... thank god.

Qs

 

Well done! I passed in May, and it's been great. Just made my before the age of 50 self-imposed deadline, too.

 

Bah. What a pile of balls. Plenty of allright looking cars around when I was learning. Now theres bugger all.

 

Two words... Sods law.

Out of sheer curiosity, what type of car were you after?

Qs

 

Ideal would be a polo, since I learned in one.

Preferably looking for a 1.2-1.6, with PAS and ABS, for around 2-2.5k (i dont really want to spend more than about 2k on the car to be honest, so the limit on asking price is about 2500).

 

Congrats on the pass matey. As for cars ... www.autotrader.co.uk - yep still hundreds of thousands for sale on there. Surely you are spoilt for choice, not the other way around?

 

Have to agree with Modey, autotrader is your friend.

If you're feeling more daring then there's always ebay....

Qs

 

Using autotrader and gumtree. catch is range. Since i dont have wheels my range is limited.

 

Most people will meet you half-way, or drive it to you if you cover the cost of petrol.

Else, train?

Qs

 

I would say it's worth travelling if it the car looks good. You should be able to get a reasonable deal from a main dealer atm also. Have a look also on VWs website. They have a dealer locator and most of the have an approved used car list.

 

VW dealers have sod all under 3k. Curse them. Curse them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Congrats mate!
