Hi
This on behalf of my x as she just passed her test and looking for purchase a car
Would be cheaper to take a loan out once you now price or take on monthly basis payment for the car in question 
Hope the question makes sense please advise if need any further info

    cheapest  1 litre /1.25 litre with as low mileage as you can find in your area

    aygo /fiesta /huyundi etc etc they are bit underpowed if you live in steep hill area but its a first car and most importntly bar far the cheapest for a new qualified driver to insure

    IMO finance -do not go this route

    dealers put a large premium on there prices and you have finance premiums on top of this as well
    you would be paying way over the top unless you go for a dealer part exchange car then they are ok

    1k to 2k if you can afford it in cash is enough for anybodys first car

    Absolutely this.  Buy what you can afford and do not start a life of having car after car on finance.
