Roughly how much for 40 yr old female just passed test to insure £4000 Ford Ka ?

Roughly how much should a 40 yr old female civil servant just passed her driving test with a Ford Ka (value £4K) living in Manchester have to pay for comprehensive car insurance ? Just need an idea to see whether the whole 'running a car' thing is financially viable. Many thanks for any estimates.

Do dummy quotes online to get a fairly accurate idea.

Original poster again: Because this is a totally hypothetical idea at this stage there's just too much stuff to invent filling in web quotes - just thought I could get a rough idea to start with, would it typically cost a few £100's or a few £1000's ?

Depends what ltr i guess, but anything over a grand would be theft.

My insurance is usually around £300 with 75% discount so I would expect £1200 for sooner with no Ncb.

When I passed my test a couple of years ago (I was 27) living in Manchester city center, for a KA costing about £1000, the insurance was about £1500. It went down quite a bit when moving out of the city center, and now with 2 years no claims its £500.

I would look on Autotrader and find the registration of a car similar to what you want to buy, its the only way of getting a good idea as there are so many variables.

Most online insurers and comparison sites will give you a quote without having the reg number.

As Quentin advised above, you can get a quote without the reg number. If you use comparison sites you will get a very good idea of lots of insurers without having to input the information loads of times.

I did it when I was considering which car to buy after my old one ended its days in the scrapyard. :-)
