VR6 Insurance

[Flidster_uk]

Dont suppose anyone has got any quotes or advice on buying a VR6

teacher at work is selling is an L reg metallic light blue one completely standard.

Only one insurance company will touch me fully comp ?1200
my gti cab is ?600

is this about right? can i get it cheaper?

and what do i need to look out for on a vr6 he wants ?5000 it has heated leather, everything except air con, bodywork is mint if not the best colour

anyone give me any help?

cheers

not sure mate.. um... i mean i was getting quotes exactly like this for vr6's a few years ago.. which is why i bought a valver in the end.
at the time i was 27/28.. so not much older than yourself.

i put my high quotes down to the fact that i'd only been driving a few years.

but..  since then people keep saying they have much better deals.



what colour is the '6 ?

check the heated seats work.. check the history carefully.. that all the dates add up etc..

hi mate, if u wanna give me a bell on 08451290290 ask for martin i will see if i can do you a better quote as I work for hic/golf+ insurance. 1200 does sound a little steep for your age!

[Flidster_uk]

having to start a new policy my other insurance company my golf is with wont insure me on it and that has by no claims on it.

what ball point figure could you give on a 26 year old

[martinb]

I had a go the other day and got a quote for about ?480 for an early VR6 on TPFT.
I'm 27 (3yrs no claims and driving since mid 2001)

Admiral worked out the best for me ?700 fully comp, with mods all declared and my missus on it too.

Helps to be 32 with over 10yrs no claims I supppose

Admiral/Elephant.co.uk are the cheapest for me ?790 fully comp.

Got any more details on the car, mileage, service history etc...

?5,000 is a very, very, very steep price for an L reg VR6.  ?2,500 would be more like it.

For ?5,000 you should expect nothing less than a late Highline with full history and reasonable miles.

I used to go with Elephant, but Norwich Union have recently 'quoted me happy' with ?420 fully comp (3 years no claims, 30 years old).

?5k is a lot for an L reg VR6, even if it is a minter!  As already said, that sort of money should get you a good to very good condition late Highline.

I spoke to Norwich Union about my 16v, as soon as I mentioned the mods they said no. I am due to start shopping around in May for new quotes. As I will be 30, I expect to pay a lot less.
