Seems the 1.8t's are getting old and silly cheap to buy nowadays, I wonder if young'uns are buying them now or is insurance still silly expensive for them.
Il start and looking at my username youl guess im born in '89 so that makes me 23 :grin:
Owned my Bora for 2 1/2 years and its going strong :evil:
Pointless thread but im bored in work lol

25 here, golf owned just over a year, try Sky insurance as per forum title, gave me a qoute for £760 with mods, though if you want a better insurance qoute always do it online, as a NEW customer, you get new customer discounts as well as online discounts, did a re-qoute with admiral after a £600 offer on renewel and got £310 :cool:

Long time owner here! bought mine in the summer of 2006, so 6 years now!
Bought at 19, insurance was £1600, ran for 2 years as my daily driver. Sold it to buy an E36 M3 at 21, decided that wasn't for me and was able to buy my A3 back again and ran it until 2009 as a daily driver. Then bought another 1.8T A3 as a daily and turned the first one into a track car.
Daily is now sold and I'm back to just the one 1.8T as the track car 6 years down the line and ive driven over 100k miles in it. it's now well over 200k, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I love it.

I'm 20 with almost 2 years no claims (renewal in September) I've not got a 1.8T yet but I've been looking at insurance quotes and my cheapest quotes are around £2000-£2300 mark. Can't really afford that on a student budget :rolleyes: so will have to stick to the 1.6 for a few more years.

Nope, just house sharing with a few friends in a normal rented house :smiley: but there is no driveway or anything so public road parking probably doesn't help me.
