I think the logic behind this at the moment is that i'd rather have a clean base model than a total basket case Gti due to insurance induced poverty!! :twisted:
![:(](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/sad.png)
cheers for your help, and maybe i'll work up to the Gti eventually!!

The money saved could be put towards tools / spares / fixing up whatever you get. After a year or two you will have built up some NCB and the premiums should be a bit less scary.
Besides a nice early Mk1 non GTi will be far more exclusive - just ask Rajan

I am 20 and pay ? 3 0 0 0 . 0 0 pounds for my insurance, so think yourself lucky.
And that was better than the "you have to be 21 to drive this car" or the '?5,000.00' quotes i got.
I just wish my insurance was that good.

I got a written quote from admiral for ?1200 TPFT, but in the end, I decided it best to go on my dads policy fully comp. for the first year and see how i get on.
Many insurance companies would insure me for lower had I been 19, so that is a main reason for deciding to wait.

ive had GTi's since i was 18. im now NEARLY 20 and have only just got 1 year NCB… i never insured a gti when i had a NCB i used to swap cars too much
admiral and elephant are the ONLY companies who would insure me for under ?2000.
1000 is a fairly low quote for you. although then again its only a 1.6..
well here are a few tricks to lower your quote.
take off commuting, just choose social only… you use your push bike for work :wink:
10k miles a year or under… then only tell them when you exceed it.
best of all (reduced mine by over ?300). add 3 female drives who have NCB's and a clean license.
i added my girlfriend, my mum and my girlfriends mum, reduced my quote by loads.
as for the cost of it… just pay it.
look at it this way, if you get a 1.1 fiesta i would bet money that the quote is only different by around ?350 at most…
what would you rather do? spend ?350 driving the car you want or by a total heap with a small engine and save ?350.
i now have a audi 1.8T it cost me about ?1000 to insure, but then again a quote on my mates fiat sechiento 900cc would have still sot me ?750…
good luck i hope you find a good quote!
