Just Bought a GTI !!!
« on: 13 January 2010, 19:03 »
Hi All

Just recently joined the site after purchasing a 2006 GTI. Seen a few of the lads at RR days at Awesome so wanted to get in on the act.

Hopefully pick it up on Monday (If i can insure it :sad:) as it is a little more than i expected. I will try and get some pics up when i pick it it

Cheers

Ben :smiley:

Well Done, and "welcome"...


Sorry, I've got to say though - "WOW!" for buying a car without knowing what the insurance is....

Guessing you've got a returnable deposit if it's bad news....

Is it down to age?

Sorry about the questions - find this sort of thing interesting, as I always (as part of "the dream") get my insurance quote first...

Have you tried a quote from HIC? You can get discount for being a golfgti member. Check out the insurance section.

Give Admiral a try. They have always been much cheaper than everyone else for me and they seem to be able to insure you on pretty much anything for sensible money.

When I was 24 they quoted me £1100 a year to insure an E39 BMW M5 V8 - madness!

I'm currently 27 and they are covering me fully comp on the GTI for £490 a year with £150 excess. I only have 2 years NCB.

FWIW, when I tried them (even with my Golf GTI "discount"), they couldn't get anywhere near my current price.

But you never know, they could be good for you :smiley:

PS 36, Full NCB, 1 sp30 with 2 professionals living in the Countryside = CHEAP insurance :smliey:

Haha i know that the post i made sounds like im extremely stupid.  I got a quote from Admiral and they came back with a great price.  Based on this i purchased the car and when i came to insure it to pick it up the price went up by £1200 if i paid monthly.  So had to dip in the saving and got it tonight for £1900.

Yes this was down to age - I'm only 20
