How Much Does Your 205 Cost To Insure?

[welshpug 1,627]

yeah, get old fast sheer madness paying that much for insurance, it's just not worth it!

[mattl 0]

are you actually going to pay 6k for insurance?

I dont want to but, iv jus finished my 205 gti6 and get my lisence bk so im not realy up for leaving it sat there while i drive round in a poxy 1L!

ill pay monthly so wont seem as bad

[harryskid 193]

Are you saying £500 a month just for insurance?

[jimbob 3]

jus think of the interest on a 6k insurance policy!!!

[zebedy101 0]

I'm sorry but £6500 is not worth it no matter what car you own. Your pants are being pulled down and mr insurance is ready for you. If you think about it that's 6k that could have been spent on a years rent on a house or you could even make your 205 twice or three times as mad for that money.

 

At 19 surely £6500 is half a years wages or more?

[welshpug 1,627]

thats half a years wages at 29!!

Nothing wrong with 1.0 205, my first 2 cars were 1.0, owned them for 4 years, it saves you a lot of money and helps to collect NCB.

There is a reason insurances charge a lot for young drivers with fast cars.

Save that 6k per year and after a few years you can have a better car. No point paying more in insurance than what the car's worth.

I'm going back to driving a 1.1 106 for a while and selling the 306. It's all part of the masterplan though as I want another 205 as a second car when I return to the UK. I'm quite looking forward to driving it to work every day.

 

It's rediculous spending so much on insurance.

5k on insurance holy WTF - madness. 'undred quid for me on a classic policy with 1500 miles limit. If a car were to cost me over 1k in insurance I wouldn't own it!

[Dickie 4]

Just got Classic insurance from Footman James for my 1.6 GTI for £193. That's Fully Comp on a limited mileage policy. I'm 27 and don't have any NCB for this policy.

[u47sb2 27 2 Cars]

I've found my insurance has dropped quite a bit now that I've had a licence for 10 years. Quote on the G reg 1.9 was £400 2 weeks ago, and now has dropped to £280 so it's taxed, insured and on the road.

F-reg 1.6 was £250 when it was renewed last September, and the rally car is somewhere around the £300 mark for limited road use.

I think he means he pays too much lol..

 

You do pay a lot though.. Mine should be Half what I pay but all my ncb is on my van and other car.

Currently paying just short of £400 fully comp on mine - 32 y/o with 5 years ncb attached to the car. Although i've got a few quotes to change the car to a specific classic policy from the one it's currently on and it looks like it will be a fair bit cheaper that way
