Just out of interest how do the real younuns on here pay for their 172/182 etc?? And how much is your insurance??

I managed to buy a brand new 172 when I hit 21 and I thought I was lucky!!

 

[Purdy182]

Im 20, Gettin a 182 with both cup packs for 11200 though company car scheme oh and insurance paid for.

 

[ColinG]

[Alex_225]

But how I mean thats a lot of cash, but what jobs is it you guys have at 18/19 to afford this???

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.

 

[STEAMY WINDOWS]

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.

 

[BradRT]

all u old people just think...

we can afford insurance cos most of us arent paying for anything else (e.g. rent, mortgages)

 

[Lunner]

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

 

[Dean]

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

 

[harv172]

i was 18 when i brought my 172, and only in my second year of an electrical apprenticeship, now got 182 cup and am in my final year. i am insured through my dads insurance and pay £1100 with tescos. quite good i thought.

 

[Alex_225]

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

 

[case]

im 19 and ive got a modded williams and pay around £2500 in insurance. it kills me but youve gotta pay it.

[JayGTT]

[Craig Ed]

Im 20 just not long turned and i had a topic on this not long back. . . .

I Pay fully Comp with elephant £1720-83 w/mods declaired. For a 172 Mk2 that is. . . . *beats tesco £2.7k*

 

[warine_warrior]

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 !

[case]

^^^ 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.

Mark

[jongsr4]

but same thing as you really, i live at home, it sounds sad but i dont drink or smoke so i spend my money on my car, but as i said...in hindsight, an Evo at 19 is a bit mad, truly awesome car though....miss it to this day!
