I'm not convinced on your figures so far, for someone with 0 NCB those prices seem too low.... but if they are great stuff, go for it.

Yeah, i do want a rare car, but then that brings about huge costs when you want to get a replacement part or something. I saw a 1600sss Datsun for sale a while back which I would have loved but theres only a few left on the roads in the UK which would make doing anything to it ridiculously expensive.

I will have to double check all the insurance stuff before committing to anything but those are the quotes I got so far. Also, not sure if I will qualify as a student or something else because I don't actually graduate till July and I will hopefully start my policy before then. Anyone had any experience with that?

I have a years no claims and it's £1190 for me on a MK1 Golf for 10 months TPFT (no claims booster).

i was paying £1400 for my mk2 with my mods declared (50mm drop honest mr admiral. ) and that was as a 2nd driver and my mum as main driver. Insurance is brutal..

I have now got a car*!!1!1!

Mercedes 190e.

I know I said before that I didn't like them cos the interiors were a bit ghey but I warmed to them after looking at a few. Also my dad liked the idea of a merc as it meant it probably wouldn't break no matter what i do to it and they are legit cheap for some reason.

Anyway, I was still on the prowl for anything when I saw this one come up on the bay and it wasn't too far from my parents house so after talking to my dad he said he would be up for going to look at it. However as I only noticed it when it had 3 days remaining there wasn't enough time to check it out but my dad said I could take a punt if it was for £500 ish or less after talking to the owner.

Anyway, come the last few minutes of the auction it was up to £450 so i went prone and waited. Last minute I go for a cheeky long-range noscope, but it missed and the price went up to 510. went for another nosc. got a hitmarker. price up to 525 or something. Then I thought F this ish, come at me bro! and pulled off a sweet 360 ladderstall Y-Y 360 quickscope clutch to get the game winner with 2 seconds left to go.
srs. i could put that snipe in a montage it was so good.

Anyway, my dad went to pick it up and pay today. He said it was good and he was impressed with it. My brother said it was good, and my other brother said he liked the way the wipers went. So good reviews all around. Now I can't wait to get home after finishing uni.

Here's some pics











Drop will come ASAP. I'll wait till I get back before ordering parts though. don't know if i'll want need new dampers or not. then I'll probably get some lowering springs or cut a coil or two out . Then I want to see what can be done about the drivers seat as the bolster is worn. Then, i'll get on the lookout for a spoiler-less boot lid and then finally wheels will come when funds allow. RS' would be nice but they are awfully expensive. OZ AMG splits would also be nice if I can get a set but I haven't put much thought into different wheels yet. I'll see whats around.

I'm pretty pleased with it and I haven't even seen it yet. Don't think I could do much better for £530 tbh.
