She got quoted something like £750 on a £8k Corsa (one owner, 15,000 miles) which was not what we were expecting because people were saying "new driver...3k insurance..." I guess that's what we're taking our lead from.
No, not what was yours, but Mrs Alfie22 has just passed her driving test (in a Corsa) so we will be looking to buy our first car. She's keen on a similar size car as the Corsa and we have to consider space for a couple of youngsters but we literally know nothing about car buying in general...
