Bought a 2.0 mk4 on saturday
Bearing in mind I'm 19 and only got one years no claims...
It cost me 600 quid
Note to everyone:
Put your mum and dad/anyone with more than 3 years no claims on the insurance
on my own it was a grand. but putting my 'rents on as named drivers it lowered it by over a 3rd!!!
the insurance is still in my name though
thought I'd just give that bit of info if people are struggling with finding the est quote
also try elephant.co.uk
thats who I'm with

didnt realise it was unreadable
oh the woes of not using a preview
just highlight it
be fiiiiine
-
lol yeah that was pretty hard to read! :laugh:
always worth trying both with and without parents on there because as you say with some companies it does bring the price down....but some give discount for "insured only driving" :wink:
that does sound like a pretty good deal :cool:, please tell me you didnt get sucked into having a 10 month "bonus accelerator" policy with elephant tho.... :huh:
:smiley:
-
nah i have a 12 month policy
i only have til december with it though
sooner the no claims come the better to be honest!!!

Actually I think she doesn't need any help from us...more...giving us advice on what has benefitted her with her insurance.
She's helping us but making us work for it lol! :shocked:

I just assumed, didn't wanna sit there for 2 hours working out what was said!

better?
hope you dont mind me changing the text to black Tory, the pink was pretty hard to read tho... :wink:
:smiley:
-
haha no thats fine, although all you needed to do was highlight it.
pink should be a more magenta colour
then it will add a girlie style to the writing ;-)
anyyyway- yes i didnt need help.. it was a guideline for any other younger drivers out there
it was cheaper to insure me on a golf than to insure me on a yucky 106 gti... which is only a 1.6 anyway.
insurance companies... confuse me!
-
a 106 gti is faster than a 2.0 golf
-
no it isnt
i test drove the 106 gti
with no mods i guess
but i know it had some kind of boy racer foghorn exhaust that sounded do tacky it was untrue...
my golfs faster than a 106
-
girls always get cheaper insurance than boys :cry: im 19 in july and i doubt i could get cheaper than £1500 for a 2.0 mk4 even with my rents added, altho saying that I haven't looked yet! :angry:
-
i tried adding my parents with elephant and saved a fair few hundred..
i msut get on the case of lsiting all the companies i want to call soon.. before renewal coems around too fast :grin:

I bought my 2.0 MK4 when I was 19. Which is for sale btw, look at sig. Added the parents and all that jazz and managed to get it for about £1300 mark. Cant really remeber as that was a year and a half ago now, well worth looking into, and you can buy my old car :D Everyones a winner.
-
Sounds like a good way to get cheaper quotes, what insurance companys do this then? I tried Churchill but the quotes were the same.
-
Are you asking me Max?
I ended up with Elephant for the mk5 and Kwik Fit on the mk4.

That 106 was definitely f**ked then if a 2.0 mk4 is quicker :grin:

Indeed, with a 0-60 the same time as your average family wagon there's not much the 2.0 can actually beat.
Plus the 2.0 isn't actually a GTI i read somewhere. Which makes sense that it's only 115hp & the 1.8 is 125hp..
-
Its a "GTI" in this country but a "highline" in Europe.
-
they stuck a gti badge on it so they could make it more expensive :grin:
-
the 106 is 2 secs quicker 0-60 at least
I take it its ok to have rents on policy still even though i live at a different address to them, have my dad on mine, but not my mum as yet.
just halved my insurance its £39 a months now :cool: with admiral im 23 3 year nc, 6 year passed test 1 "rents" on on a group 17 v6 car too
admiral alway give a discount. Insurance are crooks ha they alway discount once you ring up and waffle at them, saved over £20 a month :shocked: just from ringing up and saying churcill were cheaper etc and stuff. I alway get maximum discounts as there renual price is alway cheaky.
