[VR6_Wherry]

Thats some crazy figures!! At 18 i was paying £550 Fully comp on my 2.0 8v Gti (I'm 20 now) gone down to £450 Got quoted an extra £60 or so for a 16 valver and i reckon i could get insured on a VR6 for well under 1k

iv not been driving a year yet.. passed in october.. maybe itl drop alot then?? loads wont even quote!

anyone kno if vw do deals on brand new ones.. with this pay monthly crap with insurance too? could be an option..

just out of intrest, how much do you tell them mod. wise?

[Adam]

I tell them EVERY mod I have. I don't fancy them not paying out.

[karlos28]

did that push it up much??

[Adam]

Yea it pushes it up quite abit. When I put my exhaust system on the bumped it up 200 then Hellas and HIDs went up another 50. Little things like black badges, leathers and even red calipers need to be told, they didn't put the price up for them.

[Adam]

If you crash and your insurance company want to be asses about things and dont want to pay out you will have your insurance void and suffer points and a huge fine.

[karlos28]
