    It just gets better !

    Don't debate cancelling the loan, cancel it and read this thread again, Take the advice you've been given. I know you think you're all grown up and know what you're doing, but your replies show otherwise i'm afraid.

    I have a son who is 25 and passed his driving test at 18 so i do know what i'm talking about. You need to look for the cheapest car to insure before you decide what to buy. I don't know much about cars but the one you're thinking about sounds a bit like a boy racer type car, am i right ? It sounds like quite a big engine too, expensive to run and repair ?

    What would a boy racer want with a diesel vectra?

    Surely thats what their dads drive?

    Totally agree though, needs small, borderline embarassing runabout until his premiums come down a bit. I had a Fiat coupe turbo at not much older than him, and it nearly broke me! - was good fun though... everyone needs to learn the hard way, at least once.

    My sons first car was a £700 Corsa, the insurance was £1200 ! My first car was a Hillman Imp. :eek: Giving my age away now :(

    Good job I'm not a sceptic otherwise I might think Josh had just received his loan rejection letter.

    Good decision Josh, everyone on here has been more on your side than you think. Get saving for that house deposit.

    Same here I am also not sceptic but I firmly believe the decline letter was posted through Josh's letterbox.

    Pigs flying, flying high etc etc

    This whole thread looks, reads and concludes like a teenage fantasy.

    I know, I was one once and I have two at home.
