    you have points at a young and inexperienced age - tough luck

    have you tried specialist brokers ? or ringing companies not just price comparison websites

    Just get NOS and run from the po po. Then you won't need insurance.

    unless youve got mega bucks, youll have to do like the rest of us did and drive round in a 1 litre for the first year.

    I recommend selling the Nova and buying a cheaper car. I hear 2009 1.9 TDCi Focus' are cheap to insure

    Its only £2k?

    Or am I missing something?

    A £500 deposit isnt alot to find, if you can't, then save up over 3 months

    newer cars are generaly cheaper to insure than older ones as they are generaly lower grouped and easier to get parts and repair

    eg the company i used to work for grouped cars 1-99 a 89 1.1 fiesta was group 26 but an 04 1.6 mini one is only group 14 value of the car makes very little difference the risk is the damage you could cause to others and with points and at your age your a massive risk hence the prices your getting
    told you saloons are the future!!!!!!!
