Cheapest Car for a 17yr old to insure
My son is taking driving lessons and will be looking for a car soon. Rather than him choosing a car and then getting quotes that we can't afford, I wondered if we can find out what the optimum 2nd hand car is for him to look for to get the cheapest ins possible. I checked for my friends skoda and quote was �2300! Sadly even though I could do with a runaround car (my only vehicle is a van for my business) because I've had 2 claims and 3 points in the last 2 years it's cheaper for him to insure it himself anyway.

I think I remember fiat punto being mentioned. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/faq.htm?id=107 looks a good link I know it's about new cars but gives you some idea. Be prepared to be very frightened by the quotes tho'.. We bought ours a cheap low powered runaround and let them build up their own NCB.
Look for something with a very small engine that is about 5 years old or more. Make sure it has never been a write off and is absolutely standard i.e. no changed wheels, engine modifications,go faster stripes etc. But you really do need to get a specific car in mind and then get quotes on it because whilst engine size etc are important there are other factors that matter which you have no way of knowing. e.g. cost and availability of spare parts, is that particular model one that seems to "attract" a lot of claims ? only the insurer will have that info.
It will still be expensive because it is the cost of the damage that your son can do to other people and their property that is the main concern. Unfortunately, statistics show that young men have more expensive claims and at higher speed than the general populace.
Good luck
