First decision is whether you want two vehicles. You needn't start with no bonus on your second as there are a few insurers who will match you. Admiral are the obvious choice as they offer specific multicar policies but there are others who will match bonus. I know esure do.
Admiral have matched my 2 years ncb on my astra to my escort

I persoanlly don't think an Ibiza Cupra is special enough to warant getting a run around. I could understand if it was something like a Cossie etc.
i agree with this at the end of the day the van would bring the money in, therefor needs to be reliable for u to actually be able to bring in the £
imo id sell get a decent van and a car depending on what money u get for the ibiza

I definetly can't afford two decent vehicles , or the space for one car and one shitter.
The thing that stops me is that Im saying to myself that I am 20 now so should get a couple of nice cars because I could be driving vans rest of my life !

You could be driving vans for the rest of your life, but by doing that you will earn the money for a bigger place with room for something fun later in life.

get a corsa diesel or an old escort van! if its just for foreigners and plodding around you dont want to spend loads of a van,
You will miss not having a "normal" car for the evenings an weekends.

He's right you now...I sold the Xe corsa for a astra van 2000reg cost me 1800 as i needed it for work..After 9months of just having the van no car it does get you...In more ways than one..
I only do around 6k a year as ive got a van for work,foriengers,Tips trips,Clearing out...Basically the work horse stuff...
And the cupra is a Toy for me after work and weekends...
I pay 111quid a month for the astra van and 132quid for the cupra...
I get 245miles to 20quid in the van with it full of tools,doors,benchs the lot..
Im only 21 so not on the ''prober Paid Experianced Joiners'' but i do have loads left over after every month...
Dont get a Shitty van get something decent and dont be put off by the mileage if it been well looked after...As mine has
Get something that works so you dont have to through money at it...Only to maintain it...
Trust me you sell the cupra and you'l never live it down...
