Got a price of £550 for a Preg cinq 899 now (one locally for £400, only S mind but 42k on the clock) without considering my pass plus (need to phone up if i want them to consider that). Bloody mum not helping me at all though 
you only get discount off your first year for pass pluss normally. if you get an s fit an aftermarket tempature gauge because they havent got one,pghstochaj said:Got a price of £550 for a Preg cinq 899 now (one locally for £400, only S mind but 42k on the clock) without considering my pass plus (need to phone up if i want them to consider that).

'Bloody mum' - you should respect your elders and NOT beat them up

I would like to find out about this one:
CINQUECENTO S P reg. 47000 miles. Good tyres. New seat covers. 10 months MoT. Tax til May. Group 1 insurance. Low tax. £400.
Problem is it's 15 miles away, mum says; I am too ill to take you, you're back to uni soon and your dad is at a conference. Damn! I know it's so soon from when I go back to Uni but....aghhh! I would ask my grandpa but I don't want to stress him out driving to Derby.
Looks like I will have to wait until Easter to look now which is when I go to Paris so even less likely.....! My mum said "if you had thought about this last week we could have gone and looked at it"

ask her to put you on her insurance

She drives a 1.8 laguna and both my parents are insured with SAGA.....£800 for me to be put on for 10 months (until Oct). SAGA don't like young drivers on their policies! We have a 1.9 turbo diesel scenic on the drive too (Dad went on the train) which too is a similar price. They won't let us just pay a month either....have to pay full amount then claim it back a month later aslong as I haven't made a claim.
I don't think it's going to happen now, Easter it is, I will have to come back to Nottm prepared!

You have NO friends then?

Neither do Direct Line. My insurance is about £25 a month fully comp. Wanted to put a friend on to teach him to drive (he is 18) and the price... £195 per month WHAT!!!!!

I just considered the friends idea, a few friends do drive and owe me thousands of favours and would help me out within a second, asked mum "i'm going to get X to take me ok?"
Then she kind of put a downer on it:
"So you're going to buy a car on your own without your dad looking at it or a chance to drive it on your own?"
"good point" lol
Dad is back tomorrow afternoon but he has to take me shopping them I am off to Manc sunday morning.

my parents are both insured with direct line. when my sis was 17, my dad put her on my mums insurance for £20 a year. when i was 17, it cost £200 a year extra. maybe they just dont like young guys???Tryfan_Tamer said:
what about asking steve y ? he proubly same age as your dad and knows a fair bit about fiats
I see your point.
Tell your mum
"OK, I will have to go and buy a motorbike instead"
She should take you there straight away then!

OK, that was five years ago...? Insurance has got a lot meaner on young people since then you know. I taught another friend to drive 6 years ago and it only cost £5 extra a month.

Had a quote of £389, close I agree. But what I spend in parts I make up for in Insurance
Saying that I have just spent £200 on tyres and will need to spend the same again on an exhaust soon... littleyellowcar

i put my ex on my insurance last year when i was 21 so i could teach her to drive and that was £60, £40 of which was insurance tax. when we split up, i took her off at renewal time and it didnt reduce the policy at all
