Girls Driving Mk2's!

[RhosneigrGaz]

My GF's insurance is due so i've just spent an hour cComparing the Meerkat etc.

My Mrs drives a hot rockin Vitara 1.6i 4U special(?) edition, on a 98 S plate.

I went through all possible legal (honest) and got it down to £315, which is a 5000 mile fully comp policy, cheaper than 3rd party!

But here's the twist, when I got the MK2 she says "I'm having that as mine, can we swap?"....... "NO CHANCE COZ OF INSURANCE".... she's 23, full liscence since 2007, 3 years no claims in her name.

So to show her why, i today ran a quote with her details to highlight to her the insurance issue, fully comp on my MK2 8V GTi which i put into Compare the MArket and sat back ready to laugh at her.......

...... £307!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW I'M UP SH!T CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE, AND POSSIBLY COMMUTING IN A 2 TONE VITARA!!!!

Yep, my 21 year old gf actually reduces my insurance premum being a named driver, despite having 2 fault claims and no NCB! whereas im 25 with 4 years NCB and a member of the IAM!

I'm 31, full liscence since 95......... 10 years no claims..... HGV driver..... NO ACCIDENTS!

What i'm mainly saying is that if a 23 yr old lad tried to fully comp a MK2 GTi i bet it would be a grand at least!

I mean £300? I may even get her a MK2!!!!

with 3yrs ncb ,limited mileage most prob on clasic insurance too ... 300 seems about right i think ...

i got a mk4 20vt ..with all mods declared ...like forge fmic cost 800 when i bought it ,koni supension , 19s loads of engines mods remaped, porsche brakes etc etc ... mine on come to 460 ish ... and if any of the parts is damage they wll replaced parts for parts unlike some company they just replace it with standard part ...

I best not mention that I've just renewed my 1990 16V insurance for £143 then.

I got mine for £122, fully comp!!!!


The fact that sensible old men like us can insure classic GOLFs is no mystery to me, i do it myself!

The funny thing was the quote i got for my GF was a normal quote for a 23 yr old, usually £1000+

[coolio]

i had  a m3 about 6 yrs ago and thats only cost me 1050 pound fully comp

[kittie]

I'm female and my mk2 (8v) still costs £400 a year - and I've had my license 5 years, 3 years no claims, never had any points/convictions/claims, and I'm 24!

And my mk2 is only on a low mileage, no commuting and lives on my driveway at home!

Wtf 

Oh yea and that's for fooking 3rd party as well!
