Passed Her Driving Test

[CIJ]

I thought that i would say congratulatios to my missus for finally passing her driving test, it has ONLY taken 5 attempts but she managed to pull it off finally this time!

The only problem i have now is finding a little car for her, i have been thro the autotrader and eBay and the local admag, but nothin that jumps out at me! Im gonna sound a cheap bugger but its gonna have to be limited to 500, as i aint got the money any more and the cheapest insurance ive found is 690quid, for a lil 1.0l Micra!!!

So if anyone knows or has anythin cheap to sell im listening! Well for a week till im back off on the ship!!!

Congatulations Kirsty!!!!!

Congratulations,

My missus passed hers about a month ago on her second attempt.

She's got herself a little Fiesta 1.25 and only cost £600 insurance through marks and spencers.

congratulations to Kirsty

well done you clever girl :D

micras are not bad first cars, cheap and reliable

we brought our son one when he passed, 4 years on and four micras later he is still driving one, ( the latest has a 1600 primera engine )

and you will be able to come to JAE in it :winky:

Congratulations... :)

A Micro or Starlet will be a good choice, also consider the Ford Ka.

Well done .... get your self a KA mate.... I bought my missus one for her first car .... and it's fantastic.

Brillian fun to drive, and really cheap to run - best in it's class.

[sparkystav]

Couldn't agree more about the Ka, great little cars.

Cheers for the words!

Gettin insured on the lex is even more expensive than the car and insurance!! Especially when its gonna be charged next year

will look into micras n ka's!

Congrats !!!

get her on the pass plus course, well worth the experience and it cost me £150 for my son, and then when we sent certificate to insurance company they sent me a cheque for £175 refund. so £25 profit and he got motorway and night time teaching plus other techniques to help him.

Yeah well done to Kirsty.

Have to second the opinions on the Ford Ka - great little car. In my years of driving company motors I got to drive most small vehicles as courtesy cars etc during servicing. The only two I liked were the Toyota Yaris and the Ford Ka - and of the two, the Ford will be much cheaper to run.

I have a soft spot for the Vauxhall Nova too, as I learnt to drive in one. Everyone else says they're s*** though!!

As a driving instructor and having both taught in a Ford Ka and a Nissan Micra, I would defanitly take the Micra any day. Mine is a 2000 model, 1.4 auto and it just keeps going and going. Just keep it serviced every 12 months or 9,000 miles, which ever comes first and it will last a life time. I even got 70,000 miles out of my front discs.

Congrats to Kirsty.

Whatever you buy, make sure it's Japanese.
