For my thirteenth birthday, my parents bought y elec. guitar for £100 including amp. The trick is to get a second hand one (by second hand I don't mean falling apart, just a scratch here and there). Also, if possible, get it of a relative or a friend of a relative or any other "networking". That way you get double discount!
As for teaching, my teacher was a bit too fast so I'm currently taking a time out. Occasionally I search the internet for chords and song tabs (tabs = a guide of what notes to play to play a song. Even famous rock songs can be searched for on the internet). So, it is possible to learn by yourself - just slower.
Good luck, Zarr!
