Hi guys,
I'm turning 18 on the 24th of this month, and I've finally been able to start driving as I've now got a just under full time job. I have my theory in December 14th and having about 10 - 15 lessons then doing my practical. Anyway, I'm dead set on buying an Audi A3 as my first car, as I don't want just some old banger I want something very nice and something I'll be proud to be seen in.
I've looked at insurance quotes are they're around £4,000 for me (I don't know if It will get cheaper or what when I'm 18) but I'm happy to wait 3 - 4 months to save up for the car, and happy paying up to £500 a month for insurance.
So what I'm here for, is advice and help on whether or not I should be even considering getting an A3 as my first car. Also I am going to ask to be put up to 40 hours a week after Christmas so I'll be earning a lot more.
Also I'll be putting got my Dad, Mother, Brother and possibly my uncle as named drivers.
Cheers,
Joel
