I think you just pay what you think is ok... I sold my Ibiza Cupra MK3 to a 19 yr old, the car was highly modified, but he didn't mind, and told me it was going to cost him over £2k to insure! Each to their own, fair play if they want to pay that.

Have to say, it doesn't get amazingly cheap to insure a GTI ... Im 29 with 7yrs NCB and can't get a quote below £500 FC! (Tried all the usual places!)

I think the insurance companies must think I live in a ghetto :grin:

thanx for all the replys i think i might wait abit like a year or something and then buy my dream car   

look around the group 13 mark     i.e fiesta st, colt czt, swift sport, polo gti.   all have plenty of power to keep you going!    well thats what i did till i was 22 now i only pay £800 on the gti


How can you be getting insurance so cheap? Im 21 and my insurance is up for renewal in august, last year was 2200, this years renewal cost is 2011 fully comp

Ive tried nearly every insurance company under the sun and nobody can beat my current price from directline of all people

Please tell me your secrets..

It goes on loads of factors, postcode being a main one!

2 people, same age, same car, can pay vastly different premiums depending on their postcodes!

I wish I had the problem of not being able to afford the insurance, it would certainly make me feel young again.  :sad1:

I do think it's true that girls are better drivers, they wouldn't make it cheaper otherwise would they?   :innocent:

Girls aren't necessarily better drivers - just that when they have an accideny, it's a little ping whereas for a guy it's more likely to be a write-off.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

You guys are so lucky! I'm 38 driving a MK5 GTI in Singapore and the insurance is £1400! This is with full no claims carried over from the UK. I paid less in my mid twenties with an RS Fiesta in London.  :confused:
There is a serious number of GTRs and supercars here as well, I've no idea how people afford it. We were pushing our budget buying a 2008 GTI.

5years no claims and clean history helps  :signLOL:
