MK3 ins

[Robdub]

 Hi all well im abit shocked i recently got rid of the diesel shed work car
as i bought a mk3 anni.
The policy was with auto trader i just renewed the policy on the peugeot in june
so i thought pay a admin fee 20 quid and start cover on the gti wrong!
I had to pay in full and send back the old cert befor they would refund me the diff.

So policy in my gf name and me as a name driver because im the main driver on the Audi
Gf is 39 - 8 years ncb
im 37 - 12 years ncb
Thatcham app cat1 alarm imb
Kept in locked garage
No mods completly standard
Limited milage
£527 wtf    So give HIC a buzz i thought got the Audi with em got to save me what ? £ 150 maybe, nope £515 from Hic 

I had a mk3 gti 16v when i was 25 and it was around £300 wtf is happening lol.

I need to get it sorted as i can onluycancel within the next 4 days and have some mods planned so any suggestions would be appreciated.

cheers a very baffled

No help here i'm afraid dude but i'm with ya on that one. my renewal came the other day and it's DOUBLE, yes DOUBLE what it was last year and i've got an extra years no claims!  When I asked why this was, the guy said "insurance rates have gone up slightly"... Slightly??? My god in heaven, what are these people on???

Yeah your in it m8, just got a quote on direct line was amazed £337 all in trouble is
im not sure what there policy on mods will be, im going to ring Hic again and see if they can match it.
Considering i get a 10% discount thru the forum with Hic that would make it more then Autotrader at £560  perhaps im being naive but i`ve used Hic for a while now.
The audi  A4 avant 1.8T sport is only £240 i know its not a gti but is still a group 14 car i think, let you know how it goes.

cheers

Part of the reason is because it's an Anni. I found when looking for insurance on 16v MK3s and 16v MK3 Annis that it would jump up a fair bit for the Anni, most likely because they are more sought after.

Went back to Hic and got it down to £360 all in, cancelled within 14 days with
autotrader who wanted 525, now for some mods  i`ve been getting some
prices from AMD in Thurock anybody used them around 450 for AP coilovers
fitted with laser alignment.
Unless somewhere knows anywhere in herts area to get work done.
thanks
Rob
