Clairey Fairy Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I got my GTi just before my 19th i think.Had an Audi A3 when i was 17 and drove an Audi TT at weekends though which i dont think is too shabby for a minor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacGTR Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Yea, but your a girl. Sometimes it really sucks to have balls...Just go onto gocompare or whatever and get yourself a quote. It will probably be quite steep as I am paying around £1500 at 17 on a Sport and that was a very cheap quote as far as im concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people need to keep this in mine as it will be a massive difference from a 1.7! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tax is £180 per year, other than that and fuel usage, it wont be too different price wise from any other lupo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippy Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 mabey the best thing is to look at a sport, stuff 3400 insurance but if had the money would definitely do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I had a sport at 18 and payed a bit north of 1K to insure it.Tbh down a twisty road there isn't that much difference between a sport and a gti, and for the difference in insurance when your young I'd go with the sport.

danixd Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Just looked at insuring a loop gti for next year, I'll be 22 with 2 years nc, it came to about 750 fully comp, which is nice considering last year I payed 1k for my pieceosheet 1.1 saxo!

Silver! Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 ...it wont be too different price wise from any other lupo.Nearly everything is dearer, servicing, inurance, tax, tyres, exhausts, brakes, fuel, xenons......and if you damage an alloy panel or non standard body part...I you are buying an older one, or any for that fact, it's likely to be due a cambelt service - £400 from my VW specialist, £700 from VW and then the Xenons will be nearer to replacememt. Standard rear section of the exhaust is £270+ VAT from VW...Lovely little cars, but at 18 I would look for a nice Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
