2001gti Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 PMSL @ nearly 600 quid a month, and thats not including depreciation and maintenance costs. Thats well into mortgage costs , silly silly boy for paying that much.At the age of 18 it was worth it to drive round in a Gti.I wouldnt do it now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called admiral yesterday to check insurance on another car and I asked him how much of a difference it would be pay monthly or all at once and he said he would have to add on a 8.5% charge.

BenLAST Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I could quite easily spend £500 a month on petrol alone at the rate i use my car. Made me think about putting the 1.0 Loop back on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clairey Fairy Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 My GTi is currently costing me very little indeed. Insurance runs out on the 16th so my final payment is already out, and it's currently in a coma on the driveway so i guess "Nothing!"
