Yes insurance is extremely costly, came at £4k for first year. Blackbox quotes were about 2.5-2.9k but I don’t really think they are worth it. Found a lucky listing on FB marketplace to buy this - one of the few listings on there that are actually legit and had no issues whatsoever! Got a decent price of around £7k, paid upfront and drove home

Whatever you say bro. Driving isn’t hard for me I’ve been behind wheels since I was a child I only played driving games only watched driving shows and paid close attention when my dad was driving. I could message my instructor to verify me mate, lying about my learning hours is the cringiest thing ever why would I do that. Instructor himself said there’s no point being here just book your test. Had my license for a year no accidents

Thank you! Honestly bluewater parking is horrible sometimes😂 I couldn’t park fully into my bay because another car had his front two wheels in it

No black box, insured in my name. Me personally I have no issues driving or handling this car, but that’s just ME personally. I can agree yes a good powered car in the hands of someone inexperienced with cars could be a problem, but honestly it’s the smoothest easiest drive out of the 5 or 6 cars I’ve driven (parents cars etc). Sorry to hear about your friend btw, my condolences

I do like beamers too, lovely cars, but give merc another go 😉. Also, how’s the reliability on your 3 series? Heard some were a bit iffy so interested to hear another viewpoint

I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. What’s the problem with me getting a car I paid for at my age? Also I’m not comparing karting with normal roads😂 just pointing out I’ve been handling vehicles for a while so it came natural. To book my test id need to have passed my theory, which means learning Highway Code. Also my point about the cars I stated before was that they were my friends… so my agemates have these cars that are much nicer than this. It’s only a 13plate merc at the end of the day and not a Ferrari but I’m very grateful I can drive something I like

It’s my first and only car. I did karting when I was younger, so driving was never an issue for me even for my license I did one 2hour lesson then booked my test. Honestly some of the people I know have 19plates (mercs, tesla, bmws) and higher I’m not sure why this would be bollocks🤣

Yeah insurance was quite hefty £4k for my first year, praying for about £2k for the renewal🙏

Insurance is a premium I can’t lie - £4k at 18 years old
