| I insured one at 20, and I'm sure there's someone on here who's 18. and why are you insuring a "at least" £6k car third party!? |

| I didn't you could insure a £6k car tpft. Whenever I've got quotes, I've been told that I had to have comprehensive due to the value of the car ![]() |

| Fabia vRS is group 9 - so not that high. Your car, insured under your mums names, with your gf as the main driver I suggest that if you need to insure it under your mums name that your re-register the car in her name too, saves the added hassle should you ever wish to make a claim. tptf on a 6k+ plus, I wouldn't be taking that risk. Equally I wouldn't of bought a car without getting insurance quotes first. ![]() |

| Em, this is insurance fraud. What would be legal though, is to have a parent (preferably the one with the longer clean licence) as a named driver, cos that can save several hundred quid in premium. Last edited by KenONeill; 10-10-2007 at 14:09. |

![]() ![]() I do like the Astra VXR but I ruled it out as it only comes in a 3dr... I've seen a few of the Mazda3 MPS's around.. very understated! but one thing to consider is they're band G road tax ![]()
