  you said you can get any car you wanted... thats something silly for me like a wiesmann gt so considering i'd be willing to spend 5k max atm for a new car why not have that and insure it for 5k... calculated risk robin

I vowed, when I started driving, that I'd never pay more than £1000 for car-insurance......have been OK so far, most I've paid was £707 for my first year's insurance.

thats what I'm thinking, there's a certain car I'd love to have, but its 1900 quid to insure 
 
I'm trying to convince myself its not worth it

I would be willing to pay what i could afford. 
 
At the moment, as i have a mortgage to pay this would be around £1200.
