not at all the last thing you want here is something like a mustang, tax will run you £185 a year (until 2010 when it will rise to £200), at your age insurance would run you about £2000 (that's being generous), and petrol would just be a joke, as a daily driver it would cost you about £100 a week.

If the car is paid for, you will not need collision unless your folks want to have it. Liability can be had for $300-600 every six months depending on the limits of liability, geographic location, and how much you shop around. DO NOT TAKE GEICO, ALLSTATE, STATE FARM, etc just because they have good advertisements and are big. Go online and get quotes.
My daughter is 19 yo, has had three wrecks (none were her fault per the tickets), two tickets (failure to stop at a red light and illegal uturn)  and a six month suspension for underage drinking (not DUI). She pays $500 every six months for the lower limit liability with a smaller company. Geico wanted $1200 and Allstate wanted $1350 for the same coverage (the exact same coverage). Through a local independent agent.
