:hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: i have exactly 1 year and 6 days to save €7106!!! if i do i can insure myself and just myself on a 1991 zed twin turbo automatic!!! and thats being 17 on a provisional licence!!! it sounds madness but im going to start saving asap.

Now mick if you sell me your car next year at around €2900...i can be a proud owner of a zed at 17 for under €10000

7k for just insurance?

 

sorry but if you pay that you are insane, wait until you are 21, put the money into a house and then see if you can afford the zed, and pay perhaps 2k insurance,

 

I spent a lot of money on cars from age of 17-24, i had a lot of fun, but that money could have gone elsewhere, you get no return on your investment with a car,

But you cant put a price on dreams can you

Also another thing to remember is that my mate has just got insured on a 1998 ford fiesta for his car and it only has a 1.3 litre engine and it cost him €4400 for his insurance so putting that into perspective €7000 is not at all too bad

its your hormones, you won't listen to anyone at 17 :)

 

i really hope you enjoy your purchase, but don't get carried away and have a serious think about the investment you are about to make in a 15 year old car,

7k euros = £4700. Still silly money to pay for insurance though. Money down the drain.

I bought my first car when I was 18 (in 1988), it was a Capri 2.0s and it cost me £600 tpft for only 6 months, but it was worth it! I was in the Army and single with no bills to pay. If its what you really want to do then fine go for it but it might not be the wisest choice.

Young fellor, have your dream nothing wrong with that, at least you got a goal to aim for, but not yet you gotta think serious about it these cars a far out your reach at the mo, im telling you the same as i would my own son who is same age as you. It took me years to get one of these cars, i didnt get one untill i could afford to run it, even now i dread it going wrong, they arnt cheap cars to run by any means just read the threads, these cars are a money pit.

 

Stick to the original plan and get your 100nx then your be on your way to bigger and better things
