but should i go for it anyway??

should i hire a mechanic to check the car out?

if so where can i find one and how much would one cost?

will my insurance be expensive?, (im under 18)

Answer 1

For car insurance the quick way to get a great rate is do a policy comparison on car policies. Make certain that you compare similar policies with the same deductibles, auto make, location, etc so that all options are a good comparison.



What I always recommend is an online comparison quote at http://www.InsureAutoNow.info since they have lots of insurers and will give many quotes on car insurance polices.

Answer 4

I guess you should also check insurance quotes for the car before buying one, for example here: http://autoinsurance.bebto.com

Young drivers usually have much higher rates than others. And it depends from car.

Answer 5

Car age won't necessarily matter for insurance price. But if you get a cheapo car then you can get just liability insurance and that'll be cheaper. It means if you damage it and it's your fault they won't repair it but you are covered to drive as they'll pay for whatever damage you do to others.

here's some from my bookmarks that should help with finding cheap quotes if you need it:

http://gsx1.com/free-insurance-quotes.ht...

just fill in the form, get the quote then you can back up, enter another car type and so on. You may have one browser session on the insurance and another on craigs list and get quoted on any car you fancy, check all insurance prices on each car so you don't get any bad surprises later on.

good luck
