    Default cheapest car to insure

    i wanna get some ncb but getting insured on my own on my nova is out of the question.
    i read on here someones crafty idea of buying a really cheap low engined car that cost virtually fcuk all to insure and never drive it.

    whats the cheapest car to buy and insure?
    ideas?

    its insured, under my mums name though.
    im insured on my parents 1.7td corsa c aswell so were paying alot out on insurances. too much for me to get insured on me own!

    i got told by my insurance company not to declare my mods to them anyway.

    i turn 18 the end of may and will have been driving ten months so if i get a quote thats not badly priced then i'll probably go on my own insurance.
    till then i thought i'd see if this crafty idea would work.

    There's not a lot you can do to drop your premium down; the fact is younger drivers are a higher risk, so you pay more money. End of.

    What companies have you tried? How about limiting your mileage? Alarms? Immobilisers? Are you parked in the street overnight, or can you get the car in a garage? Considered joining the IAM, doing Pass Plus and Skidpan? There's a bunch of ways to chop a few quid off your premium.

    Have you tried Elephant, Admiral, and Tescos - they're all pretty cheap.

    Even something like a group1 car, will still cost hundreds to insure.
