i work in a factory i pay for my car (£13,000) and to insure it (£1400)
133/225/CLS AMG
Im just intrigued as Im sure most people assume that rich parents pay for younger peoples cars. I always want people to realise that I bought my own 172 at 21 but Im sure people think my parents paid.
Thats handy with working at a dealership so free insurance on anything cant be bad.
i know what you mean i dont want people thinking i sponge off anyone.i work for my things!
i know what you mean m8.. ive always got a car on the side which i buy and sell...and make money off... thats how i afforded a brand new 172 in the first place... Ive had a 1.1 saxo...then a 1.6 megane... then a 2.0 megane... and now ive got a BMW 325 which im going to make about 3 grand off when it finally sells... making money from sales before hand got me about 5 grand towards it...and the rest of the money came from my salary to buy the car... the only thing my dad bought me was an old ass 1.1 saxo and said to me heres your starter car....work your way up basically.
Im 19, got a 1.8 8v RSi, insurence is £2k fully comp, alot of it is because i already had a calim (even though iwas run off the road).
I;m a student at uni, and work when ever i can in the holidays/weekends etc.
Paid for the car myself, running it myself, insurence myself, ok i hada loan off my mum when i brought it, that that is being paid back each month
i just saved up for mine really
sold the 172 now tho and bought a vts just for cheaper running costs and insurance as im after training to hav a good career rather than having everything now
once iv trained i just want to get a mortgauge on a nice flat then il buy another one of a something simlar

I think it helps living at home and lets face it, its a bit of a dream come true to be a able to buy a motor like a 172/182/Williams for most young people.
LuckilyIve got a job that allows me to buy my car and am currently saving for a mortgage. Have still told my missus Im still having a fast car even when we buy a place! lol

Just as a matter of interest, do any of you guys paying £1500+ a year for insurance currenlty have a mortgage or are you still living in your bedrooms?
I know its a good feeling to get a nice car when you are young but believe me its a much better thing when you get your own place
and if you can afford both then lucky you !

i work as a landscape gardener.. min £300 a week.. brought a 05 clio extreme 1.2 only really got it cos it came with free insurance, as my previous clio was in my mums name and £700 i did a few qoutes to see how much it would cost with out free insurance £2600. rip off need help for next year..!!
im 17 on a learner license, paid for a Mk1 1.2 (i know there cheap lol) and its fairly modded, and pay 1900 insurance with elephant on a pay montly jobby.
^^^ how mush was the insurance on that mate? (meant for the evo)
I think its all down to the person. I love cars and mine imparticular. Im only an apprentice and earn around £11,000 a year at the minute from my main job, but i have spent over £25,000 on my car in the last two years. I just do loads of eaxtra work whenever i can and dont spend my money on rubbish. Dont get me wrong i still go out with my mates and stuff just dont buy the latest phones etc, and live at home.
