hi.
as the title says.
my dad is wiling to interest free finance a new car for my son up to 12k.
could you guys give us some options.
he is 23 and been driving for 5 years, but has no no claims bonus, but has had no accidents either.
so the insurance has to be considered.
i would just like some suggestions really.

Why are there so many s on here?

For fks sake either offer something constructive or don't bother commenting.

If the lad's Grandad wants to treat him to a car that's his business.

Not oversensitive at all; just never known a forum with such an air of pig-headedness and arrogance.

It seems like 99% of the posts in this section are smart-arsed comments.
