[trustno1]

hi guys im new here! love the site  

ok im 20, been driving 4 2 years 6months had 1 i yr ncb, but i really really want a mk1 golf gti, i jst love the love of them bad boys tho i know that there over 20 years old, but it still doesnt put me off! how much would it cost me 4 1 in a standard condition? 1.8gti.
Also how much would i b looking at 4 insurance? i'll b 21 in april!
its it worth me doing this or am i fighting a losing battle!  :-[

many thanks in advance

ok, truth is a mark 1 gti altho its old is gonna cost an absolute fortune to insure but u picked the best car there is so do it anyway!. so
a) can u insure it under someone elses name or
b) are u loaded

if u cant do either of the above i reckon u shud go and by a non gti and mod it as best u can afford. im 26 and standard insurance for my mark 1 cab is still nearly a grand. yeh u are fighting a losing battle and it gonna take a few years to insure and get the trust of ncb but check out black gti and dizzie for example, they are young and still driving the car of their dreams!

lol none of the above! yeah i thought about getting a non-gti and kitting it up, but it wouldnt b the same its jst not a gti! bah insurance eh an nesscary evil  

damn im only an apprentice plumber, ive even jst got myself an part-time job in homebase so u could save up 4 1 of theses puppies

anybody else wanna throw their pennies worth!

btw they say the mk1 is the first fastest and best gti VW ever made, wot do u guys reckon?!

Wow jst went on Eagle Star online and their quote was ?1,110 a year for an 1983 mk1 golf gti! i can cope wiv that!!!

hi mate, i was just going to say why don't you get some quotes, you never know. elephant.co.uk are pretty good for 'standard' cars

back to your question, a grand will get you a decent enough mk1. up towards 2 grand for a good A reg 'campaign' one.

'best gti'? don't get people started on that one!!!

good luck

Don't forget it will also qualify for classic car insurance  

Eagle star quoted me a grand more than what I'm paying now, never go with the first quote, or the second, confused.com will sort you out  

[trustno1]

thats 4 the advice but sumbody told me u hav 2 be over 25 2 be able 2 get classic car insurance

[eyeletboy]

[trustno1]

ahhh sod it! i aint gonna think anymore im jst gonna do, hire out a garage and get myself 1 then worry about insurance and sh!t afterwards  

if all goes 2 plan shd have it by may,.........better start booking in the overtime  

anyway thanks 4 yr help and i'll let u know how i get on
