bell - Car premium: £5269.40   
Your total price:   £5269.40 :grin: :grin: :grin:

ill give keith michales a ring in a bit, and i will be honest with them, i want insurance in my own name within 1k, direct line said £1700 but £650 with me as a named driver, and i get my own no claims.

from what ive been told insurers only get sketchy if the main driver on the policy has another car or the car that youve been added on as a named driver is in your name, my grandad owns the main car and me and my nan are named drivers, so if i get a golf in my nans name it will be in the insurers eyes, her only car.

i wanna do it legitimately but i cant afford to, tried money supermarket and theyve said £1595 so thats best ive got so far :undecided: with endsleigh

Not got a golf yet! did have a 1.6 driver plan to have another project car soon ;)

I remember the days of insurance costs being high when I was 17 but for £5K  could have run around in a some nice tin. I could have insured a VR6 for that sort of money when I was 17!

I cant believe the prices your getting quoted they are ridiculous lol tell them all to ram it imo. I remeber when i got my first car about 6 year ago an Escort 1.8gti thing cost me £1100 fully comp on my own. I dont know how insurance companys get away with it, and the police wonder why so many young guys are running around with no insurance
Mrs Patterson you cheeky girl ;)

I dont understand,  you must be doing something wrong to get these quotes man, they are unbelievable!!

I was with adrain Flux on a 1.4 Renault 5 (nobody say anything) and its was 1200 quid fully comp on my own policy.


Unless somethings changed in the last 3 years, Im now 20, im so confused as to how your getting quotes like this.
