to get hold of and insure?
im on my old dears insurance for my GSI
but i need no claims bonus so im looking into getting a low cc diesel or something similar that i can buy for about £100 and insure for about the same.
im 18 with a years experience and no no-claims, no accidents, clean liscence etc...
any ideas would be helpful

Not sure about that one as my mate had one and exchanged it for a 1.6 focus and it was the same on insurance

Focus's are well cheap to insure i think a 1.8 is group 6 or some thing.

i whent on aa and got some online quotes
1. 1985, 205, 1.0l, cat 1 alarm third party only- £1400
2. 1990, nova sr, 1.3, cat 1 alarm third party only- £1300???
surely an sr nova would be more expensive than a older, slower 205

Less idiots must drive Clios than 205s and Novas.
Insurance is stupid and inconsistent anyway.
My Mum's Megane has the same size but slightly more powerful engine than my 306, it's worth about £5k more and is 4 years newer, but if I were to insure it it'd be cheaper than the 306 for me.
