Its insured through the company i work for so it's next to nothing compared to my age. Around £1600 iirc

Not bad at all mate....nice one.

Waitey · Feb 15, 2006

^ Agree with last post on pg4. As long as you are carful with money its affordable.

Alan · Feb 15, 2006

Indeed ^^

Munday · Feb 15, 2006

At the end of the day, its a Clio and not a Ferrari or something like that so they are affordable to pretty much anyone.
Luckily I had the cash to buy it outright so managed to get an ok-ish price and did have my old car as part ex (all be it a 1.1i lol).

Waitey · Feb 15, 2006

Same here buying one outright seemed the only viable option.

crazycup · Feb 15, 2006

I was 22 when i got mine, and its paid in full by me! hate finance companies!

i have to admit... i don't think owning a 'renaultsport' is a milestone.

maybe if i had a V6... but not just a 2.0.

agree about the milestone.. maybe good.. but still a Clio..

disagree about the V6 though.. looks ok.. but don't think that's a milestone either.. LOL.

Flame suit on...

Al gets a good wage! Plus his part time doggin or 2student" as he likes to call it pays well too.

Finance is the key to buyina car now a days, any tom dick and harry can have a nice car...It's affordable so why not.

TimMB · Feb 15, 2006

19 - 182, worth every penny. I'm 20 now.

cup at 22....i'm currently looking for a 2nd hand TVR though

Trevor · Feb 15, 2006

I hate to say I think I'm the oldest so far but I don't care-I love it-A 182 with Cup packs -Nov2004 and I was 54 then!!!

ColinG · Feb 15, 2006

traded in the cup for the vee, got a superb trade in price and financed £6k on the vee, over 3.5 years which i expect to keep it, very good monthly payments too!

insurance is a ball ache...zenith £2540 but before you all panic, this was in monthly instalments and only from last november till this april, when it drops to £1650 when im 21, so only 2 more expensive months to go!

although..as i said..the cup was a far safer/easier/less scary to drive fast

182David · Feb 15, 2006

I'm 18, should be getting a 172 within about three months.

E-ray_172 · Feb 16, 2006

at 18 moved to a saxo mk2 vtr- handle on rails
at 20 for some reason got a e46 bmw 318ise- bored me to death

172 Cup @ 35 going on 17...

Serg · Feb 16, 2006

20 when i got my 172

Bakes · Feb 16, 2006

I bought my 182 at 21 but was very lucky that I did a year's work placement while at Uni and then blew the money I earnt on the car, oops!

I didn't think anyone would insure me if I was under 21, I know some insurance companies don't discriminate against age but the premium would be huge. I'm amazed at how some of you guys are 19 and 20 and running a 182 but I would have been if I could!

Ian_182 · Feb 16, 2006

After years of ford shows i got my hands on my 172 at 31
