Post by: search on 18 March 2012, 20:06
Well got a Golf mk3 1.4 had her for for a few weeks, been doing bits n bobs here n there. but though well why don't i just get a GTI rather than have a fake lol.
Rang Tesco my car insurance to get a quote ready.... 5k  :shocked:

yes 5k

.........5k

My reply was well thank you ill have a think about that.
I'm 27 been driving two years next month, so we went for the two years no claim... looks like ill need an extra 2 years no claim to get that down.

Rant over... but interested to know how old you are male/female time driving and your insurance?

I past at 17 I'm now 25.
I pay £320 fall comp on my gti 8v

At 23 I had a gti 16v and that was £265 fall comp. I told them the car was only worth £500 though.
I also only use it for leisure and 4000 miles a year.

You have any points?
Where do you live?

Just paid £1245 to insure my daughter on a 1.4 peugeot 206 fully comp which i thought was quite reasonable considering she's been driving for 2 days.

simply they don't want your business!

(I pay about £400 fc on my ssat but have had quotes of £1500+ from places that don't want me! believe it or not being middle(ish) aged, working in insurance, married, kids and having a family(ish) car for some co's your still not target!)

Don't use Tesco they are sh!t, I'm 23 been driving 3 years now, 2 years no claims 3 points on my licence and to insure my mk3 gti 8v fully comp will cost me without declaring any mods £800ish from kwik fit if I go through moneysupermarket.com or £850ish if I use HIC off the insurance bit of this site and do declare the mods.

Mind you if anyone is unfortunate enough to live anywhere like London they will pay at least double what I pay for a like for like policy. :sick:

Try these guys http://www.chaucerdirect.co.uk/.
I was being quoted in excess of £400 last year, I am in my 30's but only had 1 years NCB as it is a second car. All my NCB go on that.

With these guys i only pay £120 Fully Comp with limited milage of 4K. It was so cheap as they classed it as a "Classic" policy.  :grin:

cheers
