Well, daddys little girl now has a car.

I had to make do with a £25 HA Viva ..... crycry

She's had 10 off road lessons with an ADI, via the IAM young drvers scheme, three lessons so far on road, her ADI is also a senior observer in my local group, and now its my turn to be "terrified in the passenger seat"

She's worked, saved, and bought this car herself.

It is insured Via Quin ( I don't really care if they are good or not, its only 3rd party fire & theft, with windscreen and legal cover) £507 for the year. Hopefully she'll have a years no claims, a dsa test pass and pass plus by the time this policy runs out.

Hey thats not bad going!

I was paying more than that to insure my first car and that was just a crappy nova.

I dont envy you the task of being a passenger though boxedin

Young 'uns today, don't know they're born.

Me and my mates had to roll around in the cheapest old heaps available when we started.

how old is she?

500 quid/yr seems cheap, if she is 17 then it seems awfully cheap compared to blokes.

Your right my friend, Im 20 and not paying anywhere near that on a 1.4 Corsa.

I'm guessing that the insurance is in your name just until she passes her test and then it will be changed into her name along with the V5, which should be in your name aswell if you've insured it.

No chaps......the car is in her name.....the insurance is in her name.

I think the word here is ................ "HER"

Dont forget she is also on a provisional, they know it can only be driven under supervision, supervision being by an adult who has held a full licence for three years.

Congratulations, she's done very well for a first car.

Mine was a very dodgy Golf which then went on to fail it's MOT in such a big way that I had to scrap it. frown

And her insurance is really cheap. Mine was @£900 and I was 25!

I think Worcester also has a "good postcode" regarding insurance.

One of my mates is a traffic copper, he has his 17 year old son insured with quin, in his own name, provisional licence, on a poxy fiat punto, and thats only £650

How the hell could you insure a civic for £900 they are insurance group 15! because judging by the quote on the ibiza I am guessing you are pretty young like me.

Put your own details in, see what you get.

I am told they aren't very good on the customer service side if you claim, but that'll not be an issue with a TPFT policy, I just want her legal as cheaply as possible for her first year.

Now -Now Nig - that's getting sexist (I call it getting real ) .

Lad takes you're daughter out - thoughts are as above .You're lad takes his GF out - don't tell me that other thought hasn't entered head .

BTW - looks like one of the higher spec models . Would suggest you/daughter now look at http://briskoda.net/

especially if you want info on belt replacement / leaky door carriers / gen info on the furby . There's several techs on there with free advice etc ,and plenty of places /dealers offering cut price spares etc . And there's quite a few females on there .

£3100 pounds on a 1.4 zetec fiesta ahhhhhhhhh

edit - that is a complete and utter joke by the way no wonder so many young drivers go without insurance.

You better tell her when she passes her test, her insurance will rocket with Quinn.

Just so you know.
