does this fat bloke know anything?

Telling 19 year olds to go out and spend 8-10k on a new car to get free insurance? Surely the reason the premiums are so expensive is because you are trying to insure a 10k car! Also, the amount you spend in interest will more than offset the premium and the fact a 1.2 Clio will be worth about, erm, fack all in 5 years once you've finished paying for it! Pretty expensive 'free' insurance

Surely the best advice is to buy a cheaper car.

Maybe manufacurers pay a fee to get their marques shown on TG?

rant off... for now

They all talk utter pony. The first two episodes were ok, but now its just pony IMO.

Mr evolution

Not really the free insurance (2years) more than paid for itself when I got a peugeot 306 brand new at 19 two years free saved me 4k on insurance even ignoring the seven crashes I had in that time.

Btw insurance at the time was over £950 for a £500 fiesta

Agreed with Mr Evolution. I've seen 18/19 year olds with 3rd party insurance for £1k value cars quoted at over £1500!!!!

If they can afford the car, then the free insurance makes sense.

MattN

but two years free insurance is twice as much as 1 year which is the current offer.

I bet the first year depreciation is more than they would pay for a years insurance.

BuRR,

With third party insurance the Ins Co is not bothered about the cost of the car, just the risk of the driver to damage other peoples

BuRR

ok - but the cost of fully-comp on the same cars were astronomical!

Nimbus

I dont doubt it. When I first bought a car, I only went for TPFF as FC was not far off the cost of the car. Luckily, I didn't have any accidents during that period.

its a chance for them to get on teh no claims ladder, I think that was the point being made...
