21 year old buying first car £6000-7000 budget
Discussion
Long time lurker, looking to buy my first car. Budget is in and around £6000-£7000.
Been a named driver on another car for 4 years and Admiral are going to give me 4 years NCB for it, but obviously insurance will still be fairly steep so not looking anything in too high an insurance group. Been looking at a few VW Polo's, pre 2014 facelift as the insurance is cheap and they seem to hold their value well, but thought I would post here to get some more suggestions.
Cheers

I would suggest that you spend £3k or so on a private purchase. Likelyhood in the 1st year of driving you will suffer some damage.
Something like this

Build up your NCB and once you are over 25 your insurance costs will drop significantly
or this (but check insurance)

It's quite possible that in the 4 years he's been a named driver, he's not actually driven.
And as you point out, for all we know, he has been doing thousands of miles a year or driving a company car.I didn't always have a car but I've rarely driven less than around 20k miles in a year since I was 17
OP - has Admiral said if that 4 years would be transferable or only for use on quotes with Admiral? That could make quite a difference. I've heard of 10 month policies offering one year NCB but it's basically only recognised by the insurer offering it. This could just be basically an Admiral promotion which is fine if their quote is competitive

A swift sensible choice would be these:
1.2T Clio Dynamique
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...
1.4T Megane GT Line
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...
1.4T Astra GTC
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...
More fun but a bit less insurance friendly:
1.4T 170bhp Alfa Quadrifoglio
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...
2.5T Focus ST-3 Great cars but they might be to much to insure.
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...
In which case the Volvo C30 with the same engine (but not the handling) would be a good shout:
