fin and fur 2 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Not sure if you have gone down this route already but have you considered joining an owners club ? They nearly always negotiate cheap insurance with a named broker, and i am sure there must be a Volkswagen owners club in the UK that could help you out. Although be warned you may have to go on strange owners club weekends and wear a bobble hat whilst you sing songs around the camp fire In all seriousness my first car was a TR7 and i was quoted some silly prices from those insurers that were prepared to actually offer me a quote, most wouldn't bother. The TR Drivers club sorted me out for less than £400 per yr, which was a struggle at the time in the early 1980's but was less than half the cost of the nearest comparable quote. You may also find that if you are only doing limited mileages in your first few years then you can get insurance cheaper if you elect for say a limited mileage policy of 8000 miles per yr Have a dig and see what you can come up with, but i would be surprised if you cannot get cheap owners club insurance, and no you will not have to attend any funny handshake meetings good luck fin and fur Edited May 26, 2009 by fin and fur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Surely a VW Polo owners club would consist of women of a certain age called Doris and Mabel and meetings would be held in the dark to avoid embaressment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
