A teenager was been quoted a staggering 72,000 to insure his 600 car.
Joe Chute, from Slough, Berkshire, used a price comparison website to research the best deals to insure his W-reg Vauxhall Corsa.
But he did not anticipate insuring the 1.0 litre run-around would cost 120 times its value.
The 18-year-old teenager told The Sun: ‘If I had that kind of money, I wouldn’t need to drive. I could get taxis everywhere or hire a chauffeur.
‘Insurance companies are punishing me because of my age and where I live.’
Office worker Mr Chute said First Central Insurance wanted 16,745 up front plus 10 monthly instalments of 5,540.
