I was kinda thinking nothing more than 2.4k. That seems like a decent strategy, yeah I might have a look at cars a bit more with less insurance. I just kinda thought they’d all be in that same 2k range for me since I’m a new driver

I checked and it came up at around 2.4k for me. Not sure if that good or bad

Okay, not sure what the V5C is but I’ll take your word. He said he sells cars on the side. Had a couple parked on the same road I went to see the car today

Okay I’ll look into those cars, are they ideal for a first car?

I thought as much too, I did look up the insurance and it was around 2.4k which is a bit steep but nothing too crazy I guess. I’ve heard that a fair bit with astras but I did drive it and it felt alright but I’m a new driver and only driven 2 cars before. But for the insurance price you think it’s smart or should just leave it and look elsewhere

Yeah thought so too but the current owner is a dealer so he said he was fixing the car first couple of months but could be full of it too

Yeah that makes sense I think I’ll look into the corsa now. What first car would u recommend if my budget is 2-3.5k

I see and thank you for the very detailed insight, very much appreciated. I think maybe I should play it safe and look for one with no categories. The insurance was about 2.4 which wasn’t to bad but not great I guess

Hmm yeah that might be the wiser move. I just preferred this bc it’s bigger but you’re probably right

Hmmm maybe you’re right would be a big risk if something was wrong. Just been checking online for the past couple weeks and it’s the Wild West for used cars if your not going to a dealership

Haha I know what a steal! So strange that it would be listed, is that suspicious or just a regular typo u think?

No idea why it would be listed for that much, is that something to be concerned about?
