    How old are you if you don't mind me asking? Tesco do cheaper car insurance for import/sports/performance cars depending on your age. I pay about 400 pounds for my insurance through them, that was compared to quotes of 1000 or 1200 elsewhere. They tend not to advertise on price comparison sites.

    I am 21 (plus 8 yers!!!)

    Thing is, I worked at a company for 5 years where I had a company car. so my insurance is high because they didn't take in my company car NCB.

    Nothing really, I only have CDs to my name!

    Did have a bit of a ebay business with a friend (and i though this would last), until he decided to keepsthe profits for himself.

    We used to buy cheap car parts and flog them for a profit on ebay (making about £50 per week), he then saw the potentional and decided to cut me out........

    Why don't you sell your CD's, this will give you a bit of cash to start buying cheap car parts yourself and then from the profit you make you can buy more until your on your feet. (you would have to declare this to the taxman)

    You don't need a friend to do it. You can do it on your own. You just need the funds to start you off!!
