Hello, never really posted here before. Anyone have any tips for a seventeen year old lad looking for a car? You know, something that would suit a person of my age as a first car? Looking at DoneDeal atm and I haven't a clue :P

Something easily insurable, cheap, and with a record of having been well cared for by a mature long-term owner. Don't get hung up on make/model/colour, when you're buying cheap it's the actual car that counts.
