but do u recon that sounds realistic 2000 for an 18 year old on a golf gti?
If he had a years no claims and no points I don't think it sounds too unreasonable..... Plus he might live in the middle of the forest of dean (no crime), keep it in a garage with floodlights/guard towers/guard dogs/etc, have added his dad as a named driver, never drives it to work, and has a policy limited to 27 miles a year. Or if the car was old enough he might have got a classic car policy or something.
So many factors affect your insurance quotes... "18 years old" and "golf gti" don't mean much at all really by themselves....
