Well i just baught my audi, got insurance sorted ect... and now i've got a job as delivering pizza's its actually ideal wage, BUT i dont wana clock up the mileage on the audi so i was proposing to buy a new car, lower litre bag of crap really. Firstly, What car?, Secondly it has to be low on insurance i was wanting a fiesta or something reliable cheap to run but that came up as £1800, which is more than my audi yet alot less litre :(

Delivering pizzas, at absolute max you'll do around 20-25 miles a night. Assuming you do three nights a week for a year you're only gonna end up adding 3900 miles? Not exactly a lot.

Can't help but think you're wasting a hell of a lot of money buying a second car for deliveries when it's hardly going to add to your mileage.

Doing 7 days a week, but fitting it in with college. Heres my timetable, im going to try work as much as possible exception of saturday

Monday - FREE
Tuesday - College 9am till 2pm
Wednesday - 9am till 1pm
Thursday - 9am till 3pm
Friday - free
Saturday - FREE BUT RATHER NOT
Sunday - FREE / MAYBE CLOSED

Also the guy said it will be alot of miles, specially in a 1.6 so its just like uhh rather just get a second car

Does it have to be a car? What about a scooter?

[GoldenMerc]

nah has to be a car really.

nah has to be a car really.

Does your local paper have a bargain basement for cars under £500? Usually small cars and some seem okay with Tx and mot - okay to just run til it drops.

Ford Escort is your best bet tbh, millions of them about, parts readily available cheaply, dirt cheap cars tbh, you'd probs find one for about £100.

do they pay your gas?

[GoldenMerc]

Yeh they pay petrol, im considering a van diesel?

[danzooo]

A van won't be necessary, its a pizza place your working for, not DHL!
Whats wrong with just getting an old shed from your local paper? Especially if the place your working for is paying the fuel...

ooh, what audi you got then? A3 I'm guessing? Year etc.. pics? Second car isn't realy worth it for pizza delivering as the money you're getting from the pizza place will really just cover your insurance on the second car, not to mention buying it. Your best bet, to do it, would just be to get insured on your parents car as a second driver, if they don't mind you doing it.. but I'm guessing they will.

Careful though, 'cause I know someone that got done for no insurance by delivering pizzas. His insurance didn't cover him for that as he was only insured for SD+P and not business use.

They pay your petrol?! This is a brilliant idea!

Just use the Audi. Chances are you won't be putting 1k a week on like me last year..

[GoldenMerc]

Yeh A3 2001 but im going to sell it i think iv worked it all out
sell the A3 for around £2700 which is fairly gd cos i straight swapped the focus for it and i paid £2750 for the focus so yeh. Then get a 2k van and get a finance audi. With the insurance wise, im wanting to get my dad insured on my audi and me swapping my insurance to the van, then going fully comp so i can drive both :D

just ask the pizza place to pay wear & tear on your audi!!! DON'T SELL THE AUDI

[myke]

I know that some vans you have to be 25 to drive... have you checked that? That's the only thing I can contribute.. sorry xD

[GoldenMerc]

Hopefully get a a3 on finance if i get another car!

if you're fully comp on the van, then that wont necessarily mean that you can drive any car. Most policies don't allow it until you're at least 21 (I believe Quinn Direct do but they don't do van insurance IIRC).. Plus most van insurance won't offer that as van insurance is seperate to car insurance (different NCB and stuff so I'd imagine the 'driving any car' option would be out the window. Plus your dad would have to insure the Audi with himsefl even if it let you, as to drive any other car the car has to have an insurance policy registered to it.
