Want to buy your first car? Help is here!

Why is it that when I go to gocompare.com looking for an insurance quote for cars that I am considering the insurance is almost always £3000, even with the Pass Plus? I know of loads of people who have got their insurance for £2000 or cheaper, and the cars I am looking at are mostly in insurance groups 2, 3 or 4, so how can I get the price down (I don't want to use the "fronting" method by the way lol)?

There's a lot more to insurance pricing that the group of the car. What are the cars you're looking at? Do you live in a high-risk area? Are they new/expensive cars?

Have you tried adding your parents as named drivers?

The only thing you should do is get the car serviced - anything else and you're just throwing money away. Spend money on things like tyres and brakes rather than modding the engine.

Looking for a car under £1000. Must be pretty good on fuel. Those are the only requirements really.

Yea probably the mark 4 golf... that's the last boxy looking golf, incredibly reliable and will take abit of a bashing from your mates (also pretty roomy inside)

Just because you don't actually have a car that cost 55k to insure...
You couldn't even think of a car that your father could give you that would be worth a figure in that ball park and instead said "i wont say what the car is".

Cool story bro.

To summarise: Pics or it didn't happen.

I think he cares because you made a ridiculous statement, which will be considered a lie till you prove it.
And if you didn't feel the need to prove you drive this car then why did you feel the need to say you did?
