I do have an urge for a Peugeot 106 Rallye though but they still want €5000 to cover me

8200?!? Christ almighty. How much for something like a new Merc / Audi?

On my mums 2010 BMW 320d. I'm a 21 year old male.
For those that don't know, third party coverage doesn't even cover the car. If I hit someone, they're medical bills/ car repair bills are covered. If I put the car in a ditch and write it off, I'm shit out of luck.
Dr. Steve Brule:
How does that even make sense? In the UK £1500 is pricey, 14k is fucked.

It seems to be a combination of private insurance companies being greedy cunts and us regular folk paying for all the insurance scammers that claim €20k plus in whiplash cases. Even my dads premium increased by more than 50% this year and he's 61.
Unfortunately now this causes people to just drive without insurance which is only making the problem worse.
For reference im a student working part time and make less than €11k a year before taxes. Most of which pays for education.

Robbing bastards! Not to rub it in but I pay just over £300 a year on my Audi A4 Avant, and it was £270 before I moved house last year.

My insurance is about $70/week. Full comprehensive, $2k excess if I crash.
