£650 for a modded golf, bargain!
« on: 22 May 2008, 16:50 »
I just got quoted by Quinn Direct for my 1997, 1.4 mk3 with tinted windows, new exhaust system and a body kit (which I havent actually got yet) = £650, after the deposit of £150.

I havent even been driving long and it's my first car, im 18. Wtf? Are my eyes deceiving me? Each time I added a new mod to the list, the premium seemed to get cheaper! The car has a thatcham alarm and I added the pass plus certificate to the list, but surely it wouldnt lower it that much?

Im well chuffed  :grin:

Is that online or by phone? Phoning them could tell another story...

Heh, yeah it's online. Easier and much cheaper by the look of things.

Sounds a good price bearing in mind your age, if it's for real. Not much more than I'm paying for my GTi.

Build up some NCB; I see now how important it is. :drool:

Sounds about right, nothing really spectacular.

Dont forget its a 1.4 so that keeps the cost down alot, but yeah you have added some mods so you havent done bad there  :smiley:

As for the quotes online, they should stick to the online quote otherwise whats the point if the online quote is all rubbish? people will ring and just put the phone down if they say something way off the quote.
I used confused.com in the past, it will list from cheapest to most expensive and it will give you the company and phone number and even a reference so you dont have to reel off all your details again
