Is it me or is there no way of getting the price down?

So it seems as no matter what I try when your looking for insurance quotes and car prices I always end up with the same total cost.

Basically, if I find an old cheap car, it's insurance is expensive. If I find a new more expensive car it's insurance is cheap, so it basically always adds up to about the same total cost and I don't know what to do to be honest to get the price down a bit? Any ideas?

If thats the case then arent you better off with the better car and cheap insurance? You can accept having a black box fitted.

Those things are complete and utter crap!

They asked for a way of reducing the premiums and I told him an option that would work. Whether you think they are crap or not, it still meets the criteria of what the OP asked.

Just under 350,000 young drivers use them because its all they can afford, so its cost effective.

They arent always cheaper though are they.
They can often be either the same price or more expensive, so they arent as cost effective as people make out. Half of them also have restrictions on young drivers, which are impossible/unsuitable for the young driver due to work/studies etc. And with more problems than they are worth sometimes, its often less hassle. to get a normal policy.
