Anybody know what the insurance group is for the new GTI? The MK V was 16 but not sure if it is staying the same with the extra 10BHP!
-
I would hope it stays at 16.
I only used comparethemarket and I was quoted £358 from swiftcover, they didnt have much in the way of benefits, so best was £364 from admiral who gave courtesy car etc.
What quotes you getting ?
-
haha, i wish, i have 6 points (speeding) and only a years no claims so i am getting around 950!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
That is with admiral as well but it does not specify it as the 210bhp car, just 2009 model which makes me think they are pricing it on the old car and i just don't know if it is the same group.
p.s. have you been on comparethemeerekat.com?? it is quite funny!!!
-
6 points :shocked: I'm either very lucky or I'm a sunday driver :grin: You should protect your no claims, its not that much more expensive.
Yeah been on meerkat before, its pretty good, I love the tv AD. Its very clever.
My best on compthemarket is from Admiral, breakdown cover, legal cover, no claims protection, courtesy car, windscreen cover and personal protection is £428 with £250 excess. When I'm ready I'll probably go for that.
I'm hoping the Admiral quote is accurate, they may be pricing it on the old car as you say, but the mk6 is still a 2009 model.

Thats a long story, i always have to change insurance companies everytime i get a new car (as tehy wont insure the car i am buying and ir is always in the middle of a policy too!) so i rarely finish many years to get any more years no claims. You can't protect until you have 4.
Support the failing economy and i have to pay for it through the nose for it! As the person from direct line told me yesterday, you should stop acting like a boy and buying new cars, just keep your existing one! Yes thank you for your help on that direct line!!!
The GTi will come with 1 year breakdown cover as all VW's are covered on the VW breakdown service until they hit their first birthday so you could take that option off to save money.
I hope admiral is too, the though of paying more in not good. The first Polo i got was just over £1600 to insure!!! if i am paying that much again, i will be in tears :cry:

How old are you Neil ?

27 although i was a named driver on my parents policies when i was younger to save money so that hasn't helped along with my one crash! :cry:

If you add your mum/dad on your policy does that not bring it down any ?
-
Well i might consider that if the prices are stupid when i know for sure the insurance group. Im not sure i would want to let my dad lose in my car, i dont think he or the car would be returning in any fit state!!! :grin:

Give Greenlight a try, they where very competitive with my MK5.
Also Im 99% sure that the MK5 GTI was 17 . . .

Cheers for that, i have just filled out an online form so hopefully they will get me a quote soon! Fingers crossed!
-
I want to order my car :cry: I cant just now, bloody holiday to pay for first.

Gave them a whirl, they could not quote for me but they advised another company who could (elife) and they were 1700!! :shocked: :shocked:
-
Neil, I'd get your mum/dad as a named driver and protected no claims, that should help, when I quoted for protected and non-protected it was only £2 of a difference.
-
Greenlight wouldnt quote you ! ?
Iv only just turned 22 but was 21 when I got my MK5 and there where MILES cheaper than anyone else. Back to the old argument that different companies work for different people.
-
Its just been added onto the VW website as 17 which is the same as the outgoing GTI. Atleast that means i can get insurance for it now! Yeay!!!
-
I thought that there was now 1-50 insurance groups now in the UK not the 20 that use to be.
-
I love your car vman :smiley:

GTi is group 17 as you say, and the ED30 / Pirelli is group 18 :nerd:
-
For what it's worth, I have been quoted £520 for my GTI, up just £90 on my previous car, a 140hp TDI Eos.
-
Was at a VW dealer the other day and he told me the GTI is a group 16.

I wouldn't believe a word they say!! The brochure I have says "TBA" for the insurance group...
Would of thought it would be higher than 16 though. My Mk4 is 16...
