Hi. Mk2 Golf driver insurance!
« on: 05 February 2008, 14:46 »
Hi there,
           I am almost 17 and have got myself a 1.6 8v golf driver.   :rolleyes:

Ive been working on it for about 4 months and have started to think about insurance.

Im guessing its not going to be cheap but maybe you guys could help me.

Im only after 3rd party fire and theft.

Please could you give me some advice.

Cheers

Liam

Hi mate,

Im 17 and passed my test 2 months ago. I have a 1.6 driver aswell with no mods (yet lol) and the insurance was £1857 for fully comp. 3rd party fire and theft was only £100 cheaper and so i went with fully comp.

That was the best deal I managed to find and i tried several places, most of which were over £2300.

Got mine from www.lv.com. Just look around on confused.com and alternates. Different places vary from person to person so whats good for me might not for your etc...

Hope that helps a bit mate.

Mines got power steering so thats a good thing.

Cant wait to start driving it.

Ive done a few things on it but not that much (Yet)

i dont want to overdo it tho, keep it subtle.
