Find an insurer……Ask Him/Her Which 10 vehicles have the Lowest Insurance ratings for your Circumstances……………
[This Gives You a Better Selection when You go to Buy]…
Allways Remember ” Lowest Risk….Lowest Insurance”
Happy Driving
Personally, I’d stick with the year range of late 80′s to mid 90′s. Try to find a car thats been owned by the prophetic little old lady who only drove to church and back. Those generally make great cheap cars as older people tend to buy large (safe) cars. A large car would help you keep out of trouble as it wouldn’t attract a cop as a sportier car would, plus the large size is nice for hauling stuff to and from College (assuming you are in/going to college). Also, slightly older cars are much easier to find parts for in a junkyard.
As for safety ratings, go to your local library and use Consumer Guides (or is it Reports….can’t remember the exact title) for that year of vehicle to check its safety ratings.
