Hey,

My nephew passed his test today (hooray for him).

I've given him my old car (a 1.4 Astra - M reg '94) value is pretty much nothing but it's road worthy with an MOT etc.

However, it seems his best quote is circa £5,000.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how/who to contact to see if he can get a more affordable quote?

Thanks!
Phil.

I think you may have to sell the 1.4 Astra and buy something that isn't stratospheric to insure...

Isn't it obvious that anything that has a bigger engine than 1.1l and that is a hatch will be shocking to insure? Or am I missing something?
Yeah. You're missing the fact that I didn't have a 1.1l car to give away and that the Astra is worth fk all.

Thanks everyone - some options to present to him.

I think his parents already are on his siblings policies. What about me? Could I be on his policy?
