I'm looking at getting a Ka which I have found, looks pretty decent. It's going for 750 and is a 1998 one, but I think i would need to view first.
be very very very very aware of the amount of rust the earlier models rust like hell

arghh car hunting is a nightmare!!...and those comparison sites are even worse!!!....i looked on diamond insurance ...and they quoted me £5k for compreh-watever..even tho i am a new driver most other places like tesco quoted me £2k....with a pegeout 206....i want a car ive passed but my budget is low...am looking at ford fiestas and my budget is 2k or less, and 2k is like a very tight stretch lol
£5k for fully comp on a pug!? even £2k is extreem you must live in some rough area or entered something wrong. i have a 206 and i'm getting insurance for £700.
i think if you want it cheaper, put a family member on who has been driving a while and has a good NCB and no accidents/speeding fines etc.. that'll knock your quote down a bit.
get a cinquicento and be done with it.

I've had quotes for £650 on my provisional that is funny comp and I live in the middle of Manchester, I expect that to come down to £400 in August 
As for Ka rust, it varies, a friends 2000 KA has a rusted cross member and rust on the floor, where as others I have seen have none.

The quotes I get on Directline are around the £2,000 mark, in my own name!
How old are you?
and where in Manchester do you live? I live in Tameside, which is a relatively cheap area for Manchester

i'm just going by what i know we get in the service centre and what i've driven.Another question. How much would INSURANCE cost for a relatively new VW POLO, i.e. 2007 model 8000 mileage. Forget car price for now lol...
I am 20 years old. Held a license for 1 year 8 months. No points/any rubbish.
It is possible to put my dad's name on the car as first driver if it is cheaper. He has a clean license, and 7 years No Claims Discount I think. I want a rough price if any1 knows. I dont think my dad's insurance company would be too keen on having to give me an insurance price on loads of cars lollll

If you put it on your dads name and he is not the main driver then you are committing fraud.
nonono... the actual thing is, I am buying this car for my summer internship, and the rest of the year my dad will use it to go to work, so my mum doesnt have to drop him off. Why buy a car for a summer internship? Coz the trains would be a massive hassle, and hiring a car would mean wasting a lot of money, so might aswell buy one, and then he can use it to go to work.
So any ideas on price of insurance any1?
I'd prefer a big car...my favourites are big old cars that everyone thinks are ugly, like Volvos or Land Rovers.
I can't find any 'small car' I'd like though, which is sad, but I've looked at a few quotes (insurance quotes, I mean - that's my main worry) for mid-to-small-size cars like a Vauxhall Cavalier...but it's £1500 a year to insure. What the hell?!
Basically, my budget is max £1000 but I'd prefer to spend around £400-£700 if possible, and my insurance has to be lower than £1000! Quite a bit lower!
My dream car is a Land Rover Defender from before 1992ish, that runs on Diesel, which has actually turned out to be the cheapest I can find to insure at £900ish a year.
You can use eBay to show me things for sale if you like, or just name stuff and I'll look.
