Insurance

[monkeyhanger]

Not all insurance companies offer new car replacement cover.

For instance Admiral don't, Direct Line do.

Direct Line promise a new car replacement if it is written off/stolen in the first 12 months if you are the first owner.

Admiral will give you 'market value'.

That's fine if you have GAP. I would steer clear of the Admiral/Elephant/Churchill group from past experiences. Treated very shabbily for a non fault claim - all they wanted to do was line their pockets by completely shafting the other side with extortionate car hire rates for my replacement vehicle. They had a hand in delaying my repair that should have been 2 weeks, turning it into a 7 week job.

I actually have to commend Admiral for the service I received when insured with them a couple of years ago. They fought my corner when some thingy anchored on his brakes to make me deliberately crash in to them.

It seemed pretty dead and buried that I would be held accountable. They fought my case and it didn't go against me as a fault claim in the end, took over 2 years.

While my car was in for repairs too they were very good with regards to a hire car, very quick to respond and also let me choose a garage of my choice to do the repairs.

Do they not differentiate between the performance pack model and the non pp?
I looked on  confused.com and only find a "golf gti tsi 2.0" 2013-2013
Knowing what insurance companies are like im surprise they didnt see the pp as an excuse to jack up the price

It's old ground but I have forgotten which one of these options I need to select for insurance quote.

My car is Performance Pack version with the ADC in the front grill.

That's my hunch, think the launch versions were the demo models etc that had no ADC

This strange, don't know if anybody else has compared a quote for both cars, but I have just spun it through Confused and the safer version of the car with ADC is £3 more expensive

I'm surprised to hear that Dully. I managed to get 10% off from Lincoln and the lad couldn't of been more helpful (maybe I dropped lucky the day I went in?)

[Ian.C]

Must agree I got a negative vibe from VW Lincoln aswell....Mine I coming from Marshell's in Grimsby 10% discount.
Im being lead to understand my build will be confirmed this week for a BW42
