all good tunes!

I'd never pay 2k+ for insurance. Maybe £1500 or £1700 if the car was really what I wanted but nothing more than that. But good luck with your decision.

Ben,

Then it s**t on us in Cardiff

Thats right, in September 2007 a good GTI was fetching £5000-5500 but you can now get a decent one for £3500 if your lucky.


Exactly, that's why it sucked that I bought mine Apr 07 for 5.5k. In 6 months it was worth a grand less.

Wierd I know, but I'm just checking to see if I can find some by the off chance someone had some lying around. Would save me the trouble of having to order some new ones and getting them sprayed which will probably be expensive.

I'm 18 now, and could insure a GTI on my mums insurance with me as a named driver for £1580, but i've decided to keep my 1.0 6n2 and have my own fully comp insurance so i can get my own no claims bonus for when i'm 20/21, when i'm gonna look into buying an S3.
