Will the insurance be high on a BMW 1 Series Sport?
Hi guys, my son is thinking of buying a BMW 1 Series diesel. It's a Sport model. What does this mean and would it have implications for his insurance? He's 27.

Which insurable starter car should I go for with €3,000?
Hi, I have about €3,000 to spend on a starter car. Most of my driving would be on the weekends sight-seeing. Insurance would be a factor with the engine size. The 1.4 petrol Golf seems to the most reasonable with insurance.
Thanks

Will an ex-insurance company car be ok?
I am looking at a car in Northern Ireland. Its previous owner was MIS Insurance and it was apparently given as relief car when accidents occur. Any experience on buying these cars subsequently? What problems arise if any?

What's the deal with insuring a car on HP finance?
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and were talking about the way that some of the car loans / financing deals that some of the manufacturers do. Some of them are HP so that means that you won't own the car until you've made the last payment, how does this affect your insurance, as isn't one of the first questions about the car being registered in your name? Does HP not mean it remains in the leasing company's name until you make the last payment?
