insurance

5 years in one year! I know how to get 2 years in one year....

6months fully comp insurance = 1 years no claims

now do that twice and you have 2 years no claims in one year.

but 5!

insurrance all over the place, all competeing with each other!!! go with the cheapest quote id say!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it sounds a bit weird but its true mate, cos its a 2nd car, not sure of the ins and outs of it, but it wound me up that she got 5 years no claims in a year when it took me 5 years !!!!!!!!!!!!

let's be real... 18 years old.. zero no claims.. license held less than 6 months.... insurance on a gti is gonna cost you more than the car mate.

When i passed my test back in 94, I bought an A reg Austin Metro, cost me ?400, and that cost me ?450 tptf to insure, so to insure a GTI at 18 nowadays, well i shudder to think!!!

[kniterider]

dont think!! just do it!!, when i was a 'boy racer' i had xr3is and astra gte's would always pay more money to have the proper thing and payu more oninsurance!! my mates all had metros or fiestas know what id rather have!!!!

[mrwotto]

yeah i know wot u mean kniterider, but me metro was kitted out as a mg metro, even tho it only had a 1.0 litre engine in it, oh and it had a turbo badge lol, seriously tho, as u said ya gotta start somewhere, so i thinks personally its best getting your own insurance rather than in parents name as u save in the long run!

my 1st car was a mini with a LAMM turbo bodykit  :-[ .. until it had an argument with the rear end of an Audi A6... total cost of car - ?900 ..... insurance... ?950.. that was in '98

[kniterider]

never had insurance in parents name, allways in my own to this day, i started with a 2.0s capri, then and 86 xr31, then ann 86 atsra gte and went from there to rs turbos etc, never had no prob insuring, as had a good job, would rarther roll round in the real thing for ?100 PER MONTH than some done up wanna be wreck for ?70 per month!! cos that was about the difference !!!!

[mrwotto]

yeah i know, was just saying you save in long run having it in ya own name from the start, as you build up your no claims quicker
