grahamc Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 have you tried other insurers? APlan and sky are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movistar Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yeah... i have only had my insurance 3 months and if i cancel it they only give me £50 back...but if i upgrade to a standard TT it only costs me £15 extra, my insurance co do not insure modded cars!? New insurance quote for a TT bpu was around £600...hence iam gonna get a standard one for now, buggered if iam giving them any more money...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 what do you refer to as mint--(people have diffo views of the word) to me it means. paintwork= (no scratches,no dents,no rust) no previous paint work. Interior= no strach marks or loose panels or worn seats, no rattles mechanical = fully serviced, loads of tyre tread, no rattles, clean engine bay, brakes and pads in top order... alloys also in top condition and you want black 6 speed ?? if your mint is what i have wrote above then you need to up your budget, not having ago but am giving you an honest opinion and that is that you wont find the said above car for 8k.
