Title: Insurance for 1.8t
Post by: Kus on 20 September 2011, 23:10
Straight to the point,bought a 2.0 gti a week ago. Love the car iv'e owned about 6 cars in the past 5 1/2 years iv'e been driving (mainly french 306 gti6 206 gti ect) but this is by far the best put together.

Basically i want a 1.8 20vt already any good insurances for these cars? I have 3 points and a claim for a crash i had.

Cheers

Straight to the point then...

It will depend massively on a number of factors, including age, driving experience, value of car, where you live, annual mileage, any mods or not.

Asking us to predict insurance costs is like asking how long a piece of string is.

It will be more than your 2.slow but less than a twin turbo R32 HTH's.

I used to be with brentacre, and flux, both were great but when i got my GTI admiral mods declared were miles cheaper. Flux etc couldnt get within £200 even though id been with them for the past 2 years.

I've just re insured mine, it's not getting any cheaper. Up to a few years ago there was always someone around who could at least match the quote.

Adrian flux?

Adrian Flux insurance is a fin con. They were cheapest on confused.com so I purchased insurance from them. They called me 2 days later and claimed that there was an error on the insurance database and I'd been sold insurance for the wrong car (despite the policy docs being correct). They then tried to hit me with a premium 4 times higher so I told them to pi55off.

Avoid them.

No problems with them for me, cheapest by a bit with all mods declared.

How does it make them a con? It was one mistake out of thousands of policies/quotes.
