What car?
Not a bad call there pt.....plenty of people have VWs now, and they run like clockwork.
I did say you'd be quoted silly for supercars like that at your age
You can't really blame insurers for prices like that. Just count yourself lucky you ain't Richard Hammond.....he's going to need a lottery win to fund his next car insurance!

My advice would be to go with a smaller car untill you get a few more years experience, and a few years no-claims under your belt. Will save you a lot of cash too.
At 18 you probably think your a very good driver, but you still have a lot to learn.
18 + sports car = early grave.
ps. my first car cost me about £400!! 27 now with a decent job, still not paid over 4k for a car!

Have actually been a bit cheeky with this one. Basically a week ago the company made some major cuts in staffing, i was very fotunate to be one of about a 1/3 of the team kept on. The end result was that there would be a lot of cars about....sooo i just tactfully asked, knowing that mine was due for return

Already been said but looking at BMW's etc is a stupid idea until you get a few years no claims. To give you an example of how high insurance is a got at 19 a vauxhall tigra 1.4 (the old shape, newun wasnt invented back then) which is by no means a top sportscar at all!!!! My insurance premium came to £1800 and as it turned out they made a mistake as they were not supposed to insure anyone under 21 on it.
I wish i had never got that and had stuck with my Escort for a few years, cuz at that age i was bound to have a couple of prangs and it would of ben a hell of a lot cheaper.
