Insurance quote
« on: 01 March 2010, 21:45 »
Im, 25 y/o (just), 3 years license and 3 years no claims and 0 points.

Live in an average area, street parking, 8000 miles pa, used for commuting.

8v GTI, quoted around £580 fully comp with elephant w/ a £250 excess. Sound fair?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Sorry but but bragging about wasting money is retarded, congrats.

I think that quote is a bit too expensive really imo, £250 excess aswell, what's the point?

I'm 22, 4 years no claims, have 2 fault claims from way back, banned (5weeks) for doing double the limit, no points, black 1989 mk2 8v GTI = £620 Thrid party.

Think you can get a better deal if you add some named drivers, brought mine down LOADS and its completely legal as I am the main policy holder.

Good luck

That's pretty good, I'm 21 1 yrs NCB, 1 at fault and 1 non fault crash paying £715 on an 8v. A lot better than the £1800 I paid last year
