sounds good congrats, although £1900 for insurance is only the begining, 182s are more to tax, service and fuel than your previous car, not to mention the fact they are getting older and more problems to keep an eye on. But i'm sure you've factored in the total cost of ownership, not just the insurance price.

If you can afford it then get the 182

Dont be blinded by excitment. You can get much more desirable 182's eg. a FF which has all the "luxuries" of the car your looking to buy and both cup packs which include antracite wheels slightly lower and stiffer suspension plus the cup spoiler and splitter these additions make a significant difference to the apperarence of the car, also as much as there is nothing wrong with silver look into the more desirable colours such as BG,RB or LY getting a FF model in any of theses colours will also help when your wanting to sell up.
On the plus side full service history inc cambelt and low mileage is a bonus, just have a look around before jumping in feet first as im sure with paying that insurance you'll be wanting the best possible car for the money, trust me you will wish you'd have looked harder if a FF LY 182 pulls up next to you, stunning colour along with RB
Also how much is that car advertised at im guessing its rather expensive being at a renault main dealer?
It will get cheaper one day mate.

I remember being 19 - I had no money and a Metro. A proper first car, ie utterly sh*te! Where do these kids get their cash?

I'm still on the hunt for a 182! There are hardly any about with less than 40k on the clock, but I got a phone call of brentacre today asking if I would still be interested with there quote and they can now offer me £1687.95 with mods as long as it does not exceed 182bhp at the flywheel!! Happy isn't the word!!

Most get jobs, some get Daddy to pay lol
got any NCB for that price? seems a good quote that.
Similar to me, although I didn't need my parents to tell me. I just decided it was tooooo much. Still paid £1300 on my GTi.
Indeed. Plenty of time for fast cars.
You need to sdo this, i didnt, I bought my RS for my 20th
I bought the car, spent £150 to insure it, then the exhaust dropped off, that set me back £600 it needed and service and belts done (I did all this myself but its still expencive) Then there is the petrol, first 2 months i had the car i could stop driving it, cost me a fortune. now iv come to realise how much im wasting on it, so i use my works van mostly now
and my tax is due end of this month :dapprove:Sometimes i wish i kept my 1.2 but i fancied something quicker. Everytime i get in the 172 it does nothing but make me smile
Just remember to think about other costs other then just the cost of the car and the insurance!

£2219 for insurance is insane! Fair enough if you were getting a lambo or summit lol. Id wait a few years if i were you i pay 500 and i still think thats pricey. Imagine what you could do with 2200 at 19? not to mention the 130 for 6 months tax, petrol, etc etc. Enjoy life first, be plenty of clios still around in few years.

I put away £70 a week this covers insurance, servicing, rubber! And tax and will still leave some! I still have other money coming out like phone bill gym member ship and every day cash! I know for the first couple of weeks il be spending stupid money on petrol but after that I'm sure £30-£40 a week is enough I only use it week nights to go to the gf's and the weekends hoping to get to meets and of course the shows!! But have thought about this for a while and now I can do it!!
Look at ur car (To the left)

People that pay over a thousand sheets and dont consider a 106 GTi/VTS first are mental

Down a B road you couldnt shake a VTS in a 182, no problem.
