ok so after 4 years of fiesta's and dads insurance ive finaly gone out and got myself a decent car....
01reg, mk4 golf, 1.8 gti turbo, chipped to 190 bhp, 40kmiles ect :smiley:
went and bought her yesterday didnt think twice about insurance until i got back. im only 20 so this was abit of a prob with the gti.
half the companys wouldnt quote me some were 4k some 3.5k ect. then tried it on my dads insurance best i got was 1.7k then found a random company that did 2k in my name. just bought the insurance. are any of u in the same situation with age ect, do u think this is a good insururance price?
cheers

join the club. Just dont insure it. There all con artists anyway.
-
work for the raf so hav to show insurance docs to get on camp...... otherwise f**kin f**k insuring it how crap is it..... thought 2k wasnt too bad after a morninig in the phone hearing nobs laugh and say no or 5k!!!
-
is that fully comp?
if so i dont think thats too bad... im lookin at paying £900 TPFT on a mk1 cab :shocked:
-
yeh fully comp
-
personally mate... for that car i dont think its too bad, considering when u were on your dads insurance you wouldnt of been gettin any NCB.... i would imagine the deposit is a bit of a nightmare tho :sad:
-
Call me old fashioned but I'd have checked the insurance before buying the car. :wink:
2k is probably a good deal at 20, but I would personally never ever in a million squillion years give an insurance company so much money in one year. :shocked:
Which insurance company gives NCD to named drivers, is it Direct line ? I can hear the advert in my head but I can't think who it is. I'd get my dad to insure it and put myself as a named driver with them, or I'd at least ring them for a quote.
-
I think that would be the nice people at 'more than'
-
im with gibby on this one actually... im pretty sure its direct line.
i thought more than only give u a quote if youve got at least 4 years on claims? :huh:
-
£2K on insurance! :shocked:
more money than sense as my old Dad would say :rolleyes:
saying that i did once pay £600 to insure a £500 car. :laugh:

what insurance company are you with joey. I was looking for quotes for mark 4 GTI Turbo's a while back jsut as an idea and got told thanks but no thanks by most places. How many no claims have you got?
I pay a lot for my car on insurance but I am not really bothered I would be knackered with out a car so am prepared to pay it, its a scam I know but it just one of them things isnt it!
P.s Gibby, i am pretty sure it is with Direct line
-
it is direct line, i`m a named driver on the other half`s policy and have now built up some no claims, and the policy was cheaper with me on it bargain :grin:
-
im surprised anyone touched under 21's with a remapped turbo, does being in the RAF get you a discount?

HIC Quoted me 1,300 odd for the GTI Mk2 8v
21, 1 Years NCB, 3 Accidents
