I’m about to purchase my first car, but we’re putting the title in my fathers name so the monthly payments will be about half of what they would have been. Is there a way I can do this with car insurance as well? Will putting it in my fathers name make it lower as well? I’m assuming yes, but you never know.
This site helped me get cheap insurance:
http://cars.guidearticles.com/insurance-comparison.htm
you can get a price quickly, no hassle.
Details about the car are below. We have priced the car at $500. The Blue Book private party price is $695 and Edmunds private party price is $577. We’ve had 5 responses – one person stood us up. We have responded to 3 people and have had no communication after that. I’m waiting for an email from one person who found our ad on Craigslist. Is our price too high for a car in this condition?
New parts:
*New tires & front end alignment (November 2008 – only 1500 miles on the new tires!)
*New radiator (Summer 2008)
*New serpentine belt (Summer 2008)
*New brakes (March 2009)
*New top motor mount (March 2009)
Good things about this car:
*Low insurance cost (we’re in our early 20s and we pay $40/month)
*Easy to drive – great first car!
*Very roomy
*Cool seat covers – appropriate for guys or girls
*Low mileage for a car this age (approximately 7500 miles per year)
*Good gas mileage (26 hwy, 18 city, 21 combined)
*Large trunk
*Spare tire and jack take up no room in the trunk!
*Has a great CD player and speakers
*Rear window defogger
Bad things:
*Leaks coolant
*Leaks transmission fluid
*AC doesn’t work properly – likely needs freon
*Heater doesn’t work
*Small dents on right side of car and on hood
*Paint scraped off on rear bumper – my aunt accidentally bumped the back with her car
*Right side door creaks as it opens – door works fine, though
*Headliner is hanging slightly – doesn’t affect driving or anything
*Back driver’s side window doesn’t close fully, needs a new clip
On the original ad, we also have pictures of the car. Here are the pictures I have included with the ad:

500.00 is the minimum amount to price a car that runs..
of the bad things listed, only two or three matter..the coolant and trans leak and the ac/heater problems
The tires, brakes, and radiator cost more than you are asking for the car……
Hey, i am 17 and live in england. What would be a good choice for my first car?
I need low insurance cost, and not a expensive price for the car. What would you advise? I don’t want to look like a idiot, would preffer a "bad boy" looking car, that also sounds/looks good.
Thanks!

i need a car that will b a good first car for a 16 year old male. it has to be reliable, safe, low cost, and has to have low insurance. any suggestions?
Call an insurance agent and ask. They can tell you.
as a first car i’ve been told to get an old banger (something around 10years old no rust) low CC’s (engine size) in group 1 insurance but i don’t know what cars would be in group 1 (the lowest insurance cost) i’ve looked online for a list but not found anything substantial
what would you suggest
It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota… First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car – for example here – autoinsurance.maclenet.com
My budget for the car is around £6000 and i was wondering what anyone could recommend as a good first car for me. It needs to be fairly cheap on insurance, with a small engine!

Many would consider auto insurance as an added financial burden. And who would not ? Imagine paying for something that you are not sure if you will ever going to use. The worst thing is, auto insurance is not the product you can choose not to buy.
However, this is not to say that auto insurance is a total financial burden. It only says that there are products like auto insurance that the government imposes you to buy for your own sake even though you do not really like it. Nonetheless, you cannot do anything about it anymore and have to accept it as it should be.
Anyway, if you are ready to buy your next car insurance policy or ready your first car insurance policy, consider buying online. Why? Let us count the reasons…
As stated above, car insurance can be a burden primarily because of its cost. But would it be nice to know that you can certainly lower your car insurance cost using online resources?
Car insurance cost is influenced by many factors. The thing is there are factors you can change in order to lower the cost of your premium. Your car insurance broker may reveal the different ways on how to get cheap car insurance. But, it is always better to know this yourself? And you will know everything you need online.
Whether you are just inquiring or ready to buy your car insurance online, you can be sure that you get price quotes instantly. There are several auto insurance companies that offer free car insurance quotes. Five to ten minutes on each site will give you instant price quotes you need. This speed is not possible if you are doing it the traditional way.
Comparing these quotes will give you the edge on choosing which one is the cheapest (if you are after the price) and which one is the best (if you are after the quality of coverage being offered). You don’t have to wait for several hours, even days, to get a reply via mail. Within seconds, your quotes are already on your screen.
Furthermore, the internet can let you shop from several car insurance companies without leaving your home. It’s simple: you don’t waste your time and energy just to visit and inquire at different car insurance offices scattered across your state. Of course, that is not all. You can also get the ratings of these companies which are essential in your selection process. Here, you can differentiate those that give the right claims and those that are don’t.
You surely can remember the times when you have to pickup your heavy yellow pages and look for specific names for several minutes. Well, that is long been over with the revolution of the internet. You can now easily search for a particular company fast and easy.
Car insurance shopping may be very complicated for some. It may be very complicated for you too. But with the help of the internet, you surely eliminate the hustle of searching, calling, visiting and negotiating with different car insurance companies. Everything you need to know is online.
Think of it this way: you are the shopper; the internet is your car insurance shopping mall and information center you can easily access right at your very fingertips.
