« on: 17 September 2008, 20:28 »
I own a Mk2 Golf gti 8v but im stuggling to find a decent quote
i was on my dads with direct line but they're w*nkers and bent me over and wont touch me until im 21.
i  just want to know what people would do in my situation and could recomend anyone.
ive been on confused etc... but the cheapest with me and mother as a named driver is £1800!
ive been driving over a year and have no claim or convictions.
HELP!!!!

What cover have you been looking at? (tpft? Comp?)

At 18 and driving under 2years £1800 does not actually sound that bad imo, a lot of insurers will have a minimum age for a car like a GTI or require that you have been driving 2yrs etc

Try www.footmanjames.com BUT PHONE THEM! Ask for a classic insurance policy quote on a Mk2 GTi... ;)

£1800 isnt that bad for an 18 year old with 0NCB on a MK2 GTI. I doubt your going to find much cheaper. If it makes you feel better im paying near that and im 21 (but mine is group 17 so :()
