wrestlingkaratechamp Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 My dad bought me a Mercedes 320 for my 17th birthday last October. I paid for half and I had been saving for mad long. My friend John played the market and bought his own car 100% Maybe you should think about doing that. Hes only 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username237 Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 now that is a hard question!!! I initially wanted black but everyones telling me not to bother as they start to look mucky really easilly unless you wash it all the time! They have got a light yellow, a dark yellow, a green, a sky blue, a silver, grey or black. Im stuck between grey and silver now, but they're both metallic so that means more money to pay out, its an extra £275 which is quite steep considering the size of the thing!

telsun Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Grey is a little John Major'ish don't you think? Go for the silver. Although light yellow would give out the impression of a bright, vibrant young lady. Could that be you? I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"

username237 Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 i could NEVER own a yellow car, its not me at all. Im not one for standing out in a crowd. The grey isnt like a dull boring grey its metallic and looks really good when the suns on it. I think i'd still go for silver though, hide all the scratches i'll no doubt get on it when i get let loose on the road lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username237 Posted July 19, 2003 Author Share Posted July 19, 2003 well guys im changing my mind again!! My driving instructor turned up to my house today with a new car, a vauxhall corsa 1.7TDI. Ive never driven a diesel before but I was mad impressed!! The trouble is i know they are so much more expensive and the insurance goes up on them 2. My boyfriend had a corsa and it made his life hell so I would never buy one but id certanly consider paying the extra for a decent car with a diesel engine.I dont suppose anyone knows of any decent but cheap insurance companies do you?? I hear liverpool victoria are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warp Spider Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Get a Lotus! They are quite fast, efficient, and very agile. Failing that I'd suggest a fast one, like a nice Porche or Ferrari. Paladin - A holy beat down in the name of God! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telsun Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 So what cars are you considering now? That VW Lupo 1.4 Tdi Sport is looking to be ideal for you now isn't it Insurance. I hunted around for ages for quotes and I must say that Directline came up cheapest I was very surprised I thought they would be quite expensive. Give 'em a call, they are a superb company to deal with. I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username237 Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 As if I can afford a Lotus!!! Im barely a student! I work with insurance companies and direct line are really good. They were not as cheap as liverpool victoria though, in fact they were about £800 more! Diamond are ok if you're a lass. I think im sticking with my black arosa 1.4tdi but if i change my mind or win the lottery i'll let you know!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
