19 yr old mk1 1.6 insurance

Hello all,

Currently looking at a 1.6 gti, and just been looking for insurance and just wondered who's best from
Experience, particularly those go are around my age, I've read a lot of reviews about bad service from Adrian flux and footman James, is this true? Thanks for any help, it seems I've encountered so many problems before even purchasing a mk1!

Cheers

Try breantacre mate, I've just renewed with them as cheapest for me, on a modified policy upto 180bhp as im Putting a 16v in, parked on a road with 12,000 miles it's 800 for me.

Worth a shot I'm only 22

Thanks for the input! But I just rang today and if your under 21 you need 1yr no claims on your own policy (I am currently insured on a polo but a named driver). Bit of a pain, looks like my dreams of owning a golf are fading away! Haha

Tried admiral? Saw a kid insure a lupo gti modified for 1300?
Maybe not go for gti but go small block instead have looks over speed?

adrian flux ... ? not sure worth a try

Yea Adrian flux gave me the best quote with most people not even insuring me! I think il have to look for a 1.1! Thanks all!

I have a 1.6 gti and i'm 20 (just)

Done a shed load of research on this insurance situation and the cheapest i found was elephant who quoted me 1200ish (using money super market) and that was fully comp with my dad as a named driver (helps bring the price down)

adrian flux quoted me 2200  8O

both quotes included a limited 5000 mileage a year, and a year no claims, but i tried it without the year no claims, and it made naff all difference haha.

i haven't tried footman james or breantacre yet but i'm assuming their quotes will be similar to adrian flux's

Yea I've now brought a 1.3 and elephant also gave me the cheapest quote! So il be looking to go with then once I pick the car up!

i have a 1.8 gti, cost me £3054 to insure and im 19

Blimey!!! And you don't mind paying that? How did u manage to even get a quote haha. I was shocked at my £1700 quote on my 1.3 haha!

Sorry to chuck a stick through the spokes boys, my 21 year old Daughter insures her 1.8 Gti Cab for less than £800 with all mods declared!!

It must be worth considering a sex change, I beleive you can get the old fella and his mates removed for about £1500  8O

Depends how much you want a Mk1  :wink:

i was considering changing sex haha and i dont mind paying it at all bearing in mind that a 1.0 nissan micra was going to cost me £2560 so its not bad, oh yeah forgot to say i live in bradford (highest insurance in all of GB)

where in bradford? im in bd4 and costs about £5000 for a 1.0 polo

Try Liverpool Victoria insurance company, I got insurance for my mk1 golf gti with them today for £426 fully comp and I'm only 24 with a drink drive conviction. Most companies wouldn't touch me and others were 2k plus.

im not suprised in bd4 lol im in bd19 cleckheaton, if i got it insured in bd8 it would have been £8000

HELP!!!!!! My son passed his 1st test yesterday. I rang insurance up to say now on a full licence. They told me the price would go up…….. £3400 for the 1.1 formal e. 17 yr old student rural  postcode tpft. Ringing round others with no luck either won't touch a 17yr or cars TOOO OLD?!

Im 19 and my insurance on my 1.3 is £1700 a year and thats with lowered and non standard alloys. I live in Surrey. Try elephant car insurance, cheapest for me!
