Would a Porsche 924 be good as first car?
 

The Porsche 924 is a great car that you can pick up very cheaply. With regards to repair costs, for this model the parts etc are not hugely expensive as there are lots of places where you can get refurbished parts. As these cars are now old you can get good insurance deals but for anything that is classed as a sports car or with a Porsche badge on it porsche piwis 2 you will have to insure it in your name and put your son as a named driver (i just insured a n old Mini for my 17 year old son ant it cost me 1200 Pounds for a year). If you do decide to buy it for him there are great contacts and advice etc in the Porsche Club of Great Britan.
The down side of buying your son this type of car is that if it is his first car he will crash it (as we all did with our first cars) and quite rightly as people say it will make him want to go faster if he is in a sporty type of car.

You have to drive a British car to appreciate it. That doesn’t mean you have to pay the total price for it, though. If you find a good deal on used vehicles on the internet, take advantage of it. Look at eBay and British classic cars, for example, and you can often find used cars at lower prices than in usually used car markets. And of course, you should always check with dealers before taking delivery as some have special incentives for buying new cars, but on the website that I attached, people can not rent cars, I think. It is just an exhibition, but a nice one.
