    87_project  I sympathise with you as I to am only 21 and faced high insurance, but after many  hours of surfing the net late at night proping my eyelids open with match sticks, I struck gold. First quote was about
? 1800 tpft that was with the company who insured my first car,CIS. eventualy I got it to about ? 860 fc with direct line, but then just out of luck I tried  AXA  They said they could insure my golf gti 8v for ? 612 fc with no alarm or imobiliser. saved myself a wedge of money im 21 drive a class car and only have 2 yrs no claims

circumstances almost the same give them a try on axamotor. co.uk and see how you get on. and let me know


     Harr1s............     ;D ;D

So far no horror stories,recived the policy and certificate of insurance,from carole nash,and every thing fine,just as stated over the phone,they seem pretty genuine.and part of the axa insurance group.

Hi all,had come and tell you guys something!...

...just rang screentrade online insurance brokers...

Quote:third party fire and theft:?5500
Fully comp:?14350...FOURTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!???

the car is worth ?400 if that!!!

Remember,although im only 21,I have never had an accident(touch wood) or claim,nor any points(yet)

If anyone else can beat that for the highest quote on a 87mk2 gti...they will get a medal!

Tesco is winning so far,quoted ?1056 third party.Im going to start it on mon unless i can find a cheaper one!any help is appreciated.

(I have tried,axa,directline,performance direct,4youngdrivers,elephant,the jokers mentioned above,to name but a few!)

That just takes the p!ss. You would have thought that they would be too embarrassed to even tell you that price!

Mine is with www.egg.com - might be worth a bash...

Right...

We're getting there...

Greenlight just quoted 875 third party fire and theft...also must recommend john at brentacre insurance and darren at herts(HIC) ?1000,?940 respectivley.

Im going to give john another call and see if he can beat greenlight...:)

We've broken the ?1000 barrier so im happyish.

Mate,

Try Performance Direct on 0870 4203896...

Tell them that the lowest quote you have had so far is ?700... I bet they will either match it or better it.

Let me know.

Cheers,
ajh

Just tried them...

...?1025 third party fire and theft!,#

I did tell them the best was 750...remember i have no no claims(bummer!!!) I havent made a claim...just that i was on company insurance before...but cant get proof great!

I have tried john at brentacre insurance was very helpful...but couldnt beat the quote...

Apparently there are industry rules and regulations meaning that the companies cant quote too low???

could be nonsense...but he sounded pretty genuine...definately worth a shout for anyone with a modified car as they dont charge any extra for mods...(except engine obviously!)

mines standard...I think 875 is about as low as it will go!I ve got a few days left until i sort my tax(and a slight smoke prob!!!) so i'll keep trying!!!running out of places now...if anyone needs a list of insurance companies my phonebill at the end of the month will have pretty much every company in the country!!!

If anyone can suggest a place not mentioned already it would be great.

Cheers for all the help!

Best one i found for insurance is AXA Direct. Got screwed around by a few companies, saying it had to be garaged overnight, and cat2 immobiliser fitted, and still the lowest for me was ?700!!!
Axa im fully comp, 2yrs no claims for ?397 , and for my area thats damn good !
Try em, i done it online and saved even more!
