16v insurance
« on: 10 March 2004, 12:09 »
i have been on the net today gettin quotes for a mk2 16v gti and the first quote was 2703.

then i tried elephant and I have got the price to be 1,761 I am pretty pleased with that seems quite cheap since my ax insurance was gonna be 1,300 but i got that to 750.

so when i get on my feet i am goin for a 16valver

also i am just about 19 aswell
with 1yr ncb

theres a lot more to it than insurance group

MK3 GTI = group 14
MK3 16v = group 16
MK3 vr6 = group 16

yup... the valver and vr6 are in the same group.. but hey i'm 28, and they wanted 500 quid extra for a vr6.

I was 23 last year when I got my Mk3 Valver, had no problem getting Fully Comp insurance from Elephant, even with zero no claims. Hopefully it'll drop again next year when I hit 25.

I was a bit annoyed when I found out that the VR6 was the same group, but it still would have cost more to insure.

Elephant quoted me ?1500 for the Mk3 16v TPFT but funnily enough, just a few weeks earlier they wanted ?1750 ??? why the sudden drop?  I'm 22 currently with NCB, i still think my premium is abit high but maybe that's to do with living in a high crime rate area.
