^^ how much were you paying on the hdi tom? Mine is 380 this year. Shame I wont be insuring it again

A lot more than that! I'm not as old as you though lol.

Vectra is £450 for the year.

HDi for this year was £600 no mods, £650ish mods decalred.

If I could afford a new 12 plate Swift like my Mums I'd only pay ~£300 for that!

Tom the 1.3cdti didnt start till about 05 on the corsas which are fetching minimun 1.5-2k. If it was up to me shed be having a hdi. Even found a s16 that needed loads of work for £250 said if she buys that gives me £400 to work with she could have mine

So for an extra £500 she can have an '05 plate car, which will easily last her a year, safe, reliable enough, VERY cheap to run (easily make that £500 back, tax is £30, does 65+mpg etc) and has a modern car that hopefully she'd like. And she'd even get boost.

Not being funny Kent but I'm not sure an S16 is gonna be cheap to run for you guys....

Yeah but its a extra £500 she dont want to spend. And a s16 wouldnt be much to run for us anyway. I only use my car to work and back which is 10 minute walk up road. Im just to lazy to walk up the hill.

So thats £220 a year in tax. ~£600 a year in insurance. And then short drives on a cold engine!? Walk up the hill lol, bit of excersize doesn't hurt anyone!

My misses is doing her driving at the moment all we looking at is insurance prices
And the cars with lower groups, but we spending about 500 maybe bit more but keep finding
Some good cars round my area, 106s ect just trying to get the bargain before someone else is the problem.
But that clio sounds well dodgy and from a garage, seem to find that they the worse places to buy from.

Know which battles to fight mate, make an appearance of fighting this one, but not too hard mind. Then when it goes wrong she'll just need a gentle reminder of what happened last time she let her parents decide something important for her...

This is how my mother-in-law now has zero control over anything we do, works for me hahaha!
