    Default Cheapest decent car

    I'm 29 in a few weeks and 1.2's are still £500+ quid (a W reg 1.6 zafira was over a grand ) one none fault crash which barely makes a difference on confused.com quotes, literally a couple quid at most, 3 NCB drive for a living and the car would only be used on weekends for social use (obviously when off work too)

    I want a cheap car to use while I go for my class 2 licence and to see me through the start of possibly a new job, what is generally the cheaper end of insurance? Doesn't have to be Vauxhall.

    Tell me about it! Only thing I can put it down to is lack of many NCB and maybe postcode, but its not a bad area.

    Legal & General were the cheapest on confused at approx 480 when i phoned up it went to over 900, local place was over 1000.

    29 next month 0 points (yet, waiting too see if i was busted doing 57 in a 50 sneaky bastard camera van 100 yrds inside 50 zone round a bend) 1 none fault crash 1.3cdti corsa c was over 500 on confused!

    Basically i want a 500 car to get around til i get a new job, out of peoples experience and knowledge what is usually cheapest?

    I'd be ringing companies rather than using comparison sites. Also are its cheaper to just go third party on budget bangers

    Gen 6 Celica ST/GTs are cheap as chips at the mo. Insurance shouldn't be too bad either, the 1.8 ST is pretty easy to cover

    Even the gt4 is cheap to insure I'm only £288 a year. That's with only 2 year ncb as my other no claims are on my daily.
