Was anyone here (recently) driving an E30 at 17/18 y/o?

I'm 16 looking for an E30 as a first car. I've been getting quotes around the 2k mark which seems too good to be true but fine by me. This is for a 316/318i (around the same £ mark) without any agreed valuations. I suppose it could therefore fluctuate? I wouldn't think it'd be too hard getting insur...

Re: Anyone here drive an E30 at 17?

She's a beauty. I'm working and have a few grand. My dad says he'll cover the cost of the car if I cover the insurance. So i'm just looking for a decent yet not too decent 318 so I can actually work on it. Been quoted at about 2 grand for a 318 with my mum and dad on the quote. Patience. now, lookin...

I'll investigate further but hopefully i'll be able to solidify it and go hunting for a decent E30 that requires work. If not, i'm a patient individual and could surely wait another year or two! Thanks a...

Anyone here drive an E30 at 17?

I'm 17. Looking for an E30. 316/318i and wondering if it's even possible to get insured for less than about 4 grand.

I've been getting pretty good quotes for 1 year NCB at 18 though so I might wait it out.

Any advice please. Thank you.
