19 yea with 1 years ncd - what coud you get ?

[Stinkfoot]

Right a simple one this. My 19 year old son is about pass 1 year of claim free driving and would like to upgrade from his Metro so what fun cars could be insurable now ?
We are looking to keep the insurance below 2 grand so any advice would be great.

Under 2 grand? Nope.

[VR46]

Saxo vts or a fiesta zetec s maybe.

Do some online quotes and see how you get on.

When I was 20 I got a guote from Elephant for £1,000 on a B4RSK with no NCB.

[FloppyRaccoon]

I got into a 206 GTi 180 (Ins group 17) at 18 with 1 years no claims for £1400. Strangely a Clio 182 (Group 16) was much more expensive. Now in a BMW 320ci and I was 19 when I took out the policy. It was about £1200 for me.

Varies so much between people though, best way is to just spend an hour getting quotes on various cars. I still do it looking for the next car. Insurance groups are such a rough guide and shouldn't really be followed.

Looking forward to 21. Prices drop for me by an incredible amount.

Had a microscopically slim chance of being funny if OP was talking about himself, and not his son

[djdestiny]

Id stick with the Metro for another year if there was nothing wrong with it.
Put the cash in an account for a year and get something even better

I bought my '97 Mk2 MR2 at 18 with zero NCB. Insurance only cost around £1500 with Admiral. Get a good one and have a few years of stylish, bulletproof motoring :-)

Unfortuately thats what you get when you type too fast on an ipad

[crofty1984]

Yeah, spitfire would be a good call.
80's Porsche 911?
I insured one at 22 for £700

More realistically, 924?

MX5, MR2?

Yep thats what we we thinking an MX5 or MR2 mk 1. We are in a good area but it seems everything is just getting stupid price wise to insure.

You'll have to go very left field.

Anything obvious would have been bought & crashed before - leading to high premiums.

[valverguy]

I had a ford escort 1.3i hope you fair better :P

[fozzymandeus]

12plateSLKonLease(tm)?

Or a Suzuki Ignis Sport?

[Jasandjules]
