Title: me and a mk1 cab
Post by: [han] on 11 October 2005, 07:38
i know i've posted this in vw related, but think its prob better here... i'm 19 with 2 yrs no claims, 1 accident -non fault from june this year unfortunately, after ringing everyone possible... i cna't get insured on a 1.8 gti mk1cabriolet for under £1100  :cry:

so now with a change of plan, im after a 1.8 clipper! got a grand to spend, and im hoping that i'll be lucky!!! .. V.lucky!

Is anyone else in the same boat with a mk1 cab? who is everyone insured with? anyone know where there maybe one for sale, up north? as all the ones i can find tat are right price and 150-200 miles away! Argh!!!

I was 21 when I got my Cab and the cheapest quote back then (8 years ago) was £1100.

I paid - what choice did I have, I'd already bought the car. :undecided:

Good luck anyway!

You probably already know this but don't be too hasty!

Just take care when buying one and try to see the car for what it really is, not what you want it to be. The first one you see may not be the best one out there so don't feel obliged to part with the cash.

There'll be others for sale and your patience will be rewarded when you end up with with one that's the dogs b*ll*ks, rather than one that's just a dog.

Happy hunting - it'll be worth it.  :wink:
