Which Car To Buy For Your First Car?
Just passed your driving test? Are you worried about which car to buy?. It is always difficult when you are a new driver and especially when you have to buy a car within your budget. Even if you find new cars within the budget you had then another thing to worry about is the insurance of the car. So is it really worth passing your driving test at the current economy stage?
Car is a useful factor for people who live outside London as they can come in use in a regular basis in their daily life. I say outside London, because London has a fantastic public transport service with the tubes, late night buses and day time public buses where as in Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds or any other cities there is no tube line, there is only bus service and that only works till 11:30p.m and some people have work till late. People who work in factories and 24 hours retail stores need to have cars.
My sister passed her driving test three weeks ago and we all have been looking at getting her a reasonable used car as we cannot afford the new BMW. The car she looked at was £1,500 but the insurance of that car came upto £3,450. To me this is a joke. Someone should come forward and offer something which is reasonable.
Because of this people who have recently passed their driving are thinking is it worth having a car in their life and spend so much money in insurance. Some people just cannot afford to pay such amount. May be the insurance was high because she is a new driver under the age of 25 and may be it was to do with the make of the car, but it is not only her who is suffering, there are other people who are finding the same problem and refusing to pay such amount and still catching the public transport. I was lucky enough to pass it 6 years ago, I paid about £2,650 for a year and this was for a new Audi TT Coupe. I will still suggest people to buy used cars when they have just passed their driving test.
