UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well yeah, I guess I'll just have to see and even if I can't afford to run a Polo, no loss I've still got my cheap to insure Beetle

My Bug costs me £420 TPFT and I seriously doubt I could insure a Polo for anywhere near this cheap, the problem is that because its a classic policy I don't get a no claims bonus.

How is it you go about getting insured under a parent's name? I have a couple of mates who do it but I've never tried.

Hey guys I was wondering what you all are paying to insure your Polo's? I'm 19 and my main ride is a 69 Bug but come winter I really want a MK3 Coupe to drive around in but I know that because of my age insurance probably going to be killer so I'm kind of looking for some idea's.

The insurance costs are seriously putting me off a Polo, I thought it would be cheap motoring, odviously not, I may just buy another Beetle.

If your biggest automotive ambition is to drive a Saxo you deserve everything you get

I am 18 and have a g40 insured for about 900 pounds with 120 excess. Been driving for just over a year with norwich union, did my pass plus and it bought my insurance down by 40%. I also got breakdown coverage which lowered it by 100 and imbolliser also helped. The car is only 3rd party.

Who are ...

To insure a G40 under you, is cheaper than insuring a 1.3 CL under me lol. Shocking. Ahh well, I'm working on Pass+ see if that helps a little.

Karl.

If theres one thing I've learnt since I passed my test its that the 'Pass Plus' doesn't count for s**t. I'm 18 and Direct Line quoted me £1300 ...

What do you all do about insurance? I've been getting some seriously scary quotes for 1000 and 1300 Polo's and having gone through this hassle before getting the bus looks all the more appealing

Surely carrying an entire spare engine around with you is overkill?

Your car looks alright mate but to be honest and without wanting to offend you, its just a bit too 'Max Power' for my tastes.

Sounds like the BBS is for me then, what size are they usually?

'Memories'
When I worked in a body-shop those bloody rubber strips were the bane of my life, VW (in particular) used REALLY strong glue. I seem to remember using a product named 'Speedy 500' along with a filler spreader to get them off

So what is the standard size for a Polo? Don't worry I'm not of the 'bigger must be better' school of thought.

I think that ones a little out of my range insurance wise.
