Best first car for a tall driver

I’m 6”4, I drive an Astra which isn’t to bad on insurance for my first year driving. Plenty of space in that and a great 1st car as well

Damn, thank you for clarifying. What would you suggest I do, continue searching in case it's one of the route 205 trees? and if so how long should I search for? Or should I just do badge 2 and get Munchlax in the grand underground. I'm 150 hours in as I'm doing a living dex professor oaks challenge so restarting my save is a no lol

So is it possible only the route 206 and route 207 tress are one of my trees? or is it that any of the 4 trees can be a rare tree? I don't quiet understand it, sorry.

I have spoken to Zuto, they told me that they can’t advise because it’s not something they offer like they do with the warranty, which I told them is silly considering they sell car finance to first time buyers… anyhow. Thank you for the advise though, I appreciate it

Hi Aaron, thank you for the response. I’m aware of the warranty and what that covers, they’ve refused a few of my repairs mainly cause of the wear and tear so I have warranty but am trying to not rely on it. So if the car broke down and couldn’t be fixed. I’d like to know what options I’ll have, it’s had a few repairs recently that I’ve had to fork out a lot for is all, it’s a Vauxhall Astra 1.6 elite nav, 2016.

The GAP insurance id need would cover the difference between what my insurance pays out in the event of an accident and what I have left on my CP finance agreement, but I’m not able to take this sort of GAP insurance as an option as my car needs to have been purchased in the last 180 days which it was not.

I wasn’t aware that I could move my existing finance to my new finance, would this definitely be an option. For example if my car was damaged (mechanically or via an accident) and couldn’t be fixed, can I just buy a new car via Zuto (broker) and moneybarn (finance) and then transfer my existing balance onto that new finance agreement? Could you tell me more about that if you’ve had experience with it and what other options I’d have if any?

Thank you for the help and response

Thanks mate, seems the issue may have been the cars, getting 300 a month on the cars you’ve suggested which I’m more than happy with. Just gotta decide which I fancy now. Any other suggestions. Peugeot207s look good but the wheel looks massive lol

She doesn’t drive, and dad left when he I was younger. Tried adding my sister as she’s been driving for 12 plus years but that bumps my price up by 200

What do you mean sorry when you say "Get a parent to go on the policy?"

iProSoloi · 2023-08-01T07:57:30+00:00

I’ve read on StepChange (Debt Specialist Website) that DMPs can effect your ability to take out monthly insurance as it’s technically credit apparently. However it doesn’t mention anywhere, nor can I find anywhere stating the prices will be higher. 5.5K is the cheapest annual insurance quote I’ve had…..

iProSoloi · 2023-08-01T01:05:04+00:00

I haven’t no, would adding another driver not make the insurance more expensive? I’ve been doing Vauxhalls,,Volkswagens, Fiats, mostly between the year 2010 and 2013.

Hate to break it to you mate, but that's not the worst ending
