All together now Just checked the MK5 section and we werent like this when the mk5 came out. Get over it guys. Das Auto - Im impressed that you can afford this vehicle on your own. Im in a similar boat. I want to buy (Cash - If you have to pay off a car you cant afford it IMO) a Audi 2.8 Litre A4 Avant. Or a 1.8T (2000 to 2003 models). The insurance companies refuse to give me a quote because Im 18. Those that do claim that a 1.8T is a "performance" car and the 2.8 is a "sports" car and this results in myself getting billed heavily. Nevermind its parked in a locked garage. With electrical fences and close circuit cameras watching it??The best suggestion I can make is to get yourself onto your parents (or company) insurance. I cant do this as we have the Porsche, GTI, 6 superbikes and all 10 of our work vehicles on the same insurance. Apparently the insurance we have cannot take another vehicle so unless one of our vehicles gets written off Im screwed.What about things like GAP insurance etc? How are they different to other types of insurance?Good luck mate! And ignore the guys here who WILL have issues with you owning a mk6 GTI. I have friends who are 18 that drive BMW M3's, Audi RS4's and R32's. And they have paid for them themselves.Mike this from the guy whose folks had a 5 and the second bold is ILLEGAL in the uk and called FRONTING great advice to be giving I was 18 once. I used to be a ganster surrounded by b!tches and dat. Had the dollars to get me brand new Porsche innit, then I got put away for putting it on me parents insurance innit! MK6's are twice as sh!t as MK3's
