TubbyTwo Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Welcome chap What you after, NA or TT? Budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaLKeRR Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Im after an N.A (everyone boo's lol) being 22 and living in Manchester a TT on the phone to the insurance they will probably slam the phone down, and my budget depends really ideally if i sold my civic for around 2k i could have anywhere upto £5500 for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Get a uk spec tt as it'll probably be cheaper than an NA to insure Do lots of research as theres plenty of old dogs out there that you really dont want unless you have another £5k + to throw at it to fix it. Look beyond the wheels and paintwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike33 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Try admiral or hastings direct. They should be quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Buying the car is just the start mate, if you cant comfortably afford to buy one then in all honesty I would look at something else. As DnK has said last thing you want is a cheaper car that will the hammer you for repairs. Wait and save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As DnK has said last thing you want is a cheaper car that will the hammer you for repairs. Wait and save first welcome to the forum has mentioned better to save up more than you need just incase of repairs and etc and these 3litre straight six will drink petrol. you are only 22 so plenty of time to find the perfect one and save for it.
