im 18, and currently paying 2100 (only cause im paying monthly) on an 8v mk2 3rd party FF. im with quinn direct and was by far the cheapest quote i could find. ive been driving for over a year, no claims against me, clean license.
im being shafted for it but i just have to dig deep to drive the car i want to drive!

Would a Corrado be a better bet?

hell no, raddo insurance is a stinger mate!

Best bet is to look for a cheap mk2 8v, keep it standard and go with bell.

Good luck, its a bumpy ride  :grin:

He speaketh the truth.

Or another option (which i went for) is to get your cheapest quote from Bell (with parents as named drivers), then call Chris Knott, Brantacre and the like and get them to match the price. Then further down the line you can add your suspension, exhaust, wheels etc and the premium shouldn't be affected with the specialist insurers, unlike Bell.

Might be worth waiting a bit mate, think you may be hard pushed to get insured for 1k.

I'm 19 with 2 years ncb. Insured with Admiral for £760 odd 3rd party. Still a stinger! Ring around and see what you can get. Unfortunately a lot of companies wouldn't come near me despite having a clean license. It also dropped considerably with my mum on the policy as a named driver which is ridiculous considering it's my car, my policy and she never drives the thing! It all boils down to the stereotypes unfortunately and young drivers all get tared with the same brush  :undecided:

Best of luck

Go out with an old burd... :evil:

My MKV GTi insurance is less now than my diesel Grande Punto Sporting was last year    :laugh:

Group 6 Vs Group 17... go figure...  :huh:
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
