Anyone had any experience of this?
My daughter has decided she wants a Mk1 as her first car - not a bad choice…
Has anyone ever bought their son or daughter a Mk1 for their first car and what was the insurance? I am looking for a 1.1 or 1.3 3 door at present.
Are mods out of the question ie. wheels and stance, or do the modified insurers also insure 17 year olds.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Now I'm not really the one to help as my son bought his first car last year and it was an Audi TT.
Well that and we live in Austria where the insurance system is somewhat different but having said that.
Smaller the engine the better, it will still have enough power to start with but most importantly stay away from 'Mods'!
I'm sure other members will confirm this but the young get hammered good and proper when it comes to mods.
Oh and a word to the wise but I'm sure you've heard this but in the event of an accident (god forbid) if the insurance company find a mod on the car that was not declared then that's it.
No insurance etc… not a nice place to be.
When you've got a budget for the car post it up here in the car wanted section, always best to buy from a club member when possible!

As said above, avoid lowering/wheels etc or make sure they're declared! Also be aware that you're not allowed to insure her car and add her as a secondary driver - if god forbid anything happened they could refuse to insure her if they deem she was the primary user. Any insurance when you're under 25 will be stupid money, you often hear of 1.2 shopping trolleys costing £3k+ for 17 year olds!
