Hello,

I start driving lessons on the 25th and will eventually be buying a car, so this site will be needed  

Brie

Best of luck with the lessons and eventual car purchase!!

Hopefully to ask a question as opposed to wanting to solve a problem that could have been avoided by asking a question

If you're buying a car for the first time, 2 sites I would recommend are www.parkers.co.uk and www.honestjohn.co.uk . They are both car review/info sites, and will give a reasonable steer on what's good and bad out there. Will the greatest respect, knowledgeable car enthusiasts don't tend to frequent this forum and I've seen pretty inaccurate advice on mechanical/car info matters, but good advice on consumer rights, etc. 

Also the best kind of recommendation for where to buy from, is probably word-of-mouth.

Thank you!! I'm currently set on an Audi A1 in automatic

If you get an Audi, remember it has indicators 😉

If you an Audi A1, remember its a close relative of the VW Polo, Seat Ibiza and Skoda Fabia too. The prices of Audis and VWs are relatively high (as in, you'll not get that young or low mileage car, for the equivalent money) but the Seat and Skoda aren't that bad.

All this time I thought people were flashing and beeping to say hello

I wasn’t told that - who can I claim against

If you ever have one of those days where you feel that your job is meaningless, just remember that somewhere there's a man in a factory fitting indicators to BMWs and Audis.

That joke was very funny the first thousand times - now, not so much.
