Hi 206cc owners!!
I was wondering if anyone has brought a cc at the age of 18..
I am 18 I just passed my test and I really want to buy a cc as I've seen some on gumtree/auto trader in my budget. £1500
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which insurers i could call for a decent quote under £2500 I want to buy the car next week and insure straight away
I am a female driver, would it help putting my mum down as additional?
Need some feed back ASAP!
I am also considering a 307...
Thanks

You could try sheilas wheels (www.sheilaswheels.com/) they specialise in lady drivers, make sure you get your insurance before December though as women's premiums are set to increase by about 1/3rd I believe.

Allow something in your budget for repairs if you are only paying £1500 for a 206cc. It is likely to be around 10 years old and the chances are it will need something doing to it. Even a cam-belt service will set you back several hundred pounds.
Careful with a 307, the heater matrix can be expensive to replace if that goes.

If it dose need a cambelt or almost any other work don't bother taking it to Peugeot, I almost fell about laughing last week when I rung them for a quote for:
1. A new cambelt fitted: £675
2. A new nearside drive shaft: £900!
I know the cambelt can be done for a lot less, around £350 seems to be the average amount, the drive shaft seems like a simple job and parts are around £50 so £900 is taking the p*ss.
By the way, this dealer was Fussell Wadman in Devizes, Wilshire.

Funnily enough, putting you mum on as a named driver will save you money. Try Tesco for insurance.

Hi I was 18 when I bought my 206cc in January 
I'm now 19. I'm with 'Bell' insurance which is part of the admiral etc group. My quote was £1000ish but I paid monthly until June then gave them the full whack. Been quoted £650 for my renewal which will be nicer!!!
My mum is a named driver which she loves cuz she loves my car too. (She's got a boring Zafira so likes the change!!)
However I paid £2,600 for my car and in the 9 months if owning her hsve spent around £800 in repairs..... Hopefully that won't put you off as thy are wonderful cars. You will probably get the odd jealous girl giving you looks though
Let us know how you get on!!! Good luck
