Title: VR6 at age 20?
Post by: dubsport on 27 August 2008, 21:15

a girl my sister and misuss works with saw my mk3 and asked if id be interested in buying her VR6 ..

do you guys think there is any chance of insuring one at 20? 2 years no claims, 1 sp30 and partial blame for a crash...

Anythings possibler if you show them the wedge. Try bell, i could get insurance on vr's at that age with no no claims and a fault accident, thats not to say it was under a grand though.

If you can get a quote for less than £1500 fully comp, bite their arm off.

just be carefull of online insurance quotes (and especially price comparison websites) as they will produce a quote with the most minimal of details and when you get the real quote (with all the the other info that is requested)
i got caught out with confused.con (and there minimal info requirement) and thats why i dont have a vr6..... :cry:

I will be purchasing a vr6 fairly soon i think, wether insure or drive it before summer im not sure. But i do want one, make it up to be a nice show car. lol. SHINY.

Guess the proof will be when the insurance certificate lands on my door step.

thanks for the replies guys, saw the car today and its a left hooker with LT on the plates Lithuania? really nice colour tho, kinda black/purple. think i will give it a miss tho. Going into the navy in december so will be selling the mk3  :cry: and ploughing all the money into the mk2 (full respray / re trim) and buying a new celica or mk5 gti to have as a daily  :evil:

First dibs on the angel eyes when you sell :)

How are you going to afford a MK5 GTI then? If you can't afford a VR6? (to insure that is lol!)

Title: Re: VR6 at age 20?
Post by: dubsport on 05 September 2008, 17:29

found out i could insure a vr6 for £1357.80 to be exact :grin: but i really have a hankering ( :wink: ) for a celica  :evil:

if i was to get a mk5 gti then limited mileage policy looks the best way

Title: Re: VR6 at age 20?
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 06 September 2008, 18:21

That ain't too bad for a VR6, considering I'm paying £1400 on a 1.8 GL lol!

I'd love a Celica too...you're not the only one.

Why even bother with a VR6? Its just heavier and not much power gain over a 16v GTi 2L.

Your better off going with Admiral and getting a 16v.
