Hi Becky, welcome to the site

As Gareth says we're a friendly bunch, I'm sure you'll be made to feel very welcome. The ST will definetely be worth the wait, just cut down on non-essentials like food and christmas presents

Chris

Hi Becky, I'd also like an ST but at 18 the insurance makes it out of the question for me.

will you be getting a brand new facelift ST?

I could save a lot of money by getting insured through my parents but i think that if you can't afford the insurance yourself you shouldnt be driving the car

You also don't build up any no claims, and technically it's illegal.

I can see it being illegal if you are the registered owner of the car. If you parents are then I cant see there being a problem. Im going to start building my own NCB next year. I wanted to this year but I still have to pay off my car and cant afford the premium! only working part time! Unfortunatley this means I have to wait for atleast two years untill I can comfortably afford the insurance on a more powerful car, even though I long for one! Oh well will give me time to save up for something I really want.

The insurance for my car is more than a little car understandably but it would have cost me £1*** pounds to insure a crappy nova when i was driving this car.

Also, I could afford the car but now im at university i cant, so do you still feel the same way???

Not aslong as they give you permission everytime and know where your going!!!

You have that spot on... save up!!! It will cost a small fortune the first year you insure but then it will probably 1/2 and you will be back to normal!!!

Even though im at Uni, im being very careful with my cash, im having a great time, going out but also making sure im not spending more than my budget!!!

I have a plan to save enough cash to put down a fairly big chunk on the car I long for at the end of the 3rd year of Uni... A Focus

As far as i know its illegal if you drive the car more than the insurance holder, no expert but i just think its better to get my own insurance.

I understand that if you only work part time money is gonna be an issue. thats partly why i have chosen to make my previous part time job full time since doing my A levels. Its not a great wage but its giving me the chance to save quite a bit of money up towards a car and insurance

I had the choice...

Go to work full time and have the Focus I want and be able to afford it...

or

Go to Uni... keep my Foci for a few years, try and save cash inbetween and then buy it at the end of the 3 years...

I have chose option 2 as it is the passage I must take in life!!! We are all different!!!
