im in fully time education at college (start uni next year 3 year degree in sound eng and music tech, and ive been working at 118 since i was 16 (18 soonish)
thats when ill take out insurance on it as ill have my ncb, only reason i got it early was because it was such a bargain,
and ive paid for everything myself,,,,,, insurance, tax, mot, service, car, mods etc, not had a penny of anyone else, and i pay rent :O

Just been thinking my golfs had around 5.5k of accident repairs carried out (one by me 1 by previous owner) now had it happened all at once it would be a write off. Its still an ace car & I dont mind it having had a couple shunts because its been repaired to a high standard.

I disagree i say he could sell it on for a profit or keep it a year or so and still get his money back.
IMO of course
