one main reason sold my 1.8t .. when i first got her at 21 i paid £1000 insurnace fully comp .. now at 24 before i sold it i was paying £1600!!! and thats with extra 2 years no claims i got through past years insured on it.. so it is a right sh!it everywhere mate .. insurance just become a big joke more bonus money for the phat cats  :angry:

got myself honda civic now and i pay £800 quid which is still robbery as i had same civic when was 19 and i paid £600ish then.. it doesnt make sense no more   angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

On top of insurance I have to pay £250 tax wtf, dad is paying less for his 2.8vr6 :undecided: how does that work?

The only thing stopping me from selling is that I would have to fork out more money on buying a car and that money might as well use to spend on insurance.

Just really don't know what to do for the best  :undecided:

The whole declaring your mods is just another way of getting money out of you for nothing and they never pay out the full whack anyway only ever book value unless its agreed value.If you want to keep the car I would just insure as it is a 1.8t Golf I mean your wheels are genuine vw why would that be classed as a Mod and the remap etc how would they know that.I hate insurance companys they are a complete law to them selves they just rip people off and dont even ware a mask when they do it.

For me to insure a 1.8t quatro a3 its ony 2300. That's with a crash, no no claims and only, sp30 and am 21. I didn't look at golf turbo but I though it want too bad a price. Its one of the things u have to pay so they charge u watever. U can get it down in price though if u really try.
