QuoteA Ferarri!
Ok, passed the theory test today and now I'm after a car. Any suggestions? I want a low litre engine cos I'm only 17 so the insurance would be even more mental on a bigger engine, was thinking a Micra or a Polo(they hold value well supposedly?). Any good websites for looking for second hand cars?.
Any help appreciated.

Worth a look anyway.

u heard the ad so...
Micra, Fiestas & Polo should be cheap to maintain as should be lots of parts around. More cars means lower price too.
I wouldn't worry if a few scratches in a 2nd hand car as since its your first you'll probably add to it anyway.
What add?

my first car was a fiesta,never had any bother with it either
What about Ford Ka's? Cheaper insurance but are they just a bit too girly?

Do you have a local newspaper that advertises car sold privately? In Galway we have the advertiser. You can get the same make, model ,aged car from a dealer on the paper for almost 4 times the amount it would cost to buy it privately of the owner on the same paper!
In a nutshell, if you can, buy a car privately and not from a dealer, as long as you can afford it, otherwise your stuck with a costly monthly payment for the next few years no matter what you get !!
Carzone is by far the best site for buying cars, micras are buckets and look shít so you don't want one of them, Fiats just aren't reliable so thats out, Renault are the safest cars on the roads, I learned in a Fiesta, nice little car and easy to drive, you also want to make sure you've got a few air bags and ABS brakes, just in case...
Terry, Finance options from a dealer are just that, options, you don't have to do it that way, when buying privately be very careful and bring a mechanic because you'll get no warranty, by law though a dealer you'll get a minimum of 3 months, but realisticly you could probably get 6, personally we put 12 months on all ours
Sitting pretty!!!
Ka's & Micras are women cars & no guy would be seen dead driving one.
Buying from dealer will be dearer but you have peace of mind that can return if problems. I usually get car serviced in good independent garages but used dealer on last 2 occasions & they were truelly pitiful - broke more things than the simple ones they fixed.
Cars with most supply are traditionally the cheapest due to basics of demand & supply.
Japanese cars still the most reliable but more expensive to repair.
All depends on what you want tp spend. You should call insurer in advance to get idea of quotation ranges on different cars.
