Been looking into getting a GTI upgrade from my little 1L 6n and the cars a reasonable price its insuraning the damn thing.

Im 18 nearly 19 have less than a year on my licence but i get my year on my licence same month as tuning 19.
1 years no claims and 1 TS10 offence.

is £3000 realisticly my best offer?

with less than a year on your license and considering your age i would've put it between £2.5k-3k

Wow that's expensive. Im sure you'd be able to get it to below 2k, try Adrian Flux

adrian flux quoted me at 19 with 2years no claims with mum as named driver 1900 direct line 1200 :D

Im with Norwich union with Mother as a name driver...I think I paid £1300....Fully comp...and im only 19

I'm 20, 0 no claims (in theory I have 3 years, but I was a named driver), passed my test for 3 years, all mods declared cost me a shocking £1850. Adrian Flux quoted me £3000 and most places said they couldn't insure me until I was 21 when I muttered the letters GTI.

To be fair I think it's all the mods that have pushed the price so high, aswell as the 0 no claims thing of course. But I'd rather pay more and have everything above board. I'm with Brentacre by the way.

Elephant are pretty good on GTIs - got mine down do about 2k fully comp (ish)

I pay £480 with Brentacre, full comprehensive with all mods declared, and business class 1 cover. The last bit adds roughly £100 to my premium but is required for my job.

I wouldn't have even considered a GTi at 18/19 years old, the costs were simply far too high.

You're an old git though Si

I was 19 when I got mine, think it was about £1700-£1800. With Brentacre it worked out about £1500 with paying monthly and the deposit.

However that was with 1 years no claims as I'd been on Elephants 10month bonus scheme which not a lot of other insurers honour (would have been 2 years with Elephant)

The advantages of moving to Brentacre outweighed staying wit Elephant though.

i had just turned 19 when i got mine and paid £1300 with elephant but having DT1 postcode realy helps!

Thats Intresting, the same as Brentacre quoted me for my renewal, I got a quote from AF for £408 and got Brentacre to match it.

Also with my mods decleared and Class 1 business. I'm 24 with 7 years NCB

I waited until I was 21 to get my GTi , personnally I don't think paying 3k for insurance is worth it. I would save the money your be thousands of pounds better off if you wait afew years.

i've paid £950 for mine, i'm 22, 0 no claims but have beena named driver for 5 years. it would ahve been £850 but i put the missus on who has a speeding ticket therefore bumping the price right up! women eh!!

im 20 with 2yrs no claims and 1 claim

insurance fully comp and all mods declared with tesco, with free cover for upto a £1000 of ice

£1100

postcode is a big factor.

im 21, 4 years driving, 2 years no claims (2 years spent on parents ins.) £1400 with brentacre.

a mate who has some crazy postcode in the middle of nowhere got a quote of £770 for my car with the same no claims details etc. madness!
