My lad (just 19 years old) is looking to learn to drive.
While he is learning, he is looking to buy himself a small car to practice with.
This will double up as a car for me to take the missus to work in because my 3.2 miggy is supping lpg at a alarming rate due to the short distance / not really warming up.
Not sure whether to go for petrol of diesel but looking at spending something in the region of 5 or 600 quid.
That way if he has a little prang, its not the end of the world.
Credit to the lad, he isn't bothered about the badge on the car. He is more bothered about keeping the cost of the tax / insurance as low as possible.
I've got 10 years plus protected no claims so would it be better for me to insure it with his as a second driver
Would he be able to build up his no claims that way ?
Or would it be better for him to just bend over, bite the bullet and just pay up ?
Opinions welcome
