Before you swap for anything, I would check out insurance for a 17 year old.
I have sat in my driveway a 2002 Citroen Saxo 1.1 in black for my 17 year old son. Insurance varies from £880 with provisional licence to £3200 with full licence.

If it is for a female driver expect to pay 40-50% less.

people are under the false assumption that a small 1.0 corsa/saxo etc is cheaper to insure for a young driver than say a 1.4 or 1.6 rover 25/45 etc.

stay away from the boy racer cars, they are penalised because of their popularity

I still can't beleive it didn't sell it's a very nice car. I would love to have something like that one day. If only I had the money  :( but as usual the 'ongoing project' that is Omega ownership prevents me from using my own vehicle at the moment.In the voice of Wayne from wayne's World - "You will be mine,yes one day you will be mine"  :)

Summat in the history told me it was originally a plod car from Darlington, but buggered if I can find that piece of paper again!
Saying that, it's not got any holes in it that it shouldn't have! :y

I should have an X10XE Corsa in by the end of the week. It's an 'X' plate with 43k miles, silver, 3dr.
The other vehicles I have are more expensive and probably not suitable for a 17 year old.

I would love this Mig, but as usual finances never in place when you want them lol

Ibiza usually has a good body but parts are expensive for them and hard to get hold of!

Great Crivens no - her mum likes Alan Parsons, Asia, Mammas and Pappas and 80's electrocrap music. :o :o :o


Terrible state of affairs, old boy!
