Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hey Guys,Im thinking of buying either a 16v gti or VR6 on the super duper cheap, stripping and having for occasional summer fun and keeping in dry store rest of the time.But i cant really afford to insure a second car,can you get a seasonal or limited mileage insurance policy?would do no mroe than 1000 miles a year at a guess, Ive got a lexus IS220d as my daily and insurance on that is quite high, but want a fun car aswell ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 a vr is never cheap to buy, run and insure... you gotta think about tax at £105 6monthly.... insurance aint ever gonna be that cheap as you're fairly young arent you with a chequered history if i remember correctly.... even with a low milage policy you'll be payin a fair whack.... also you've got fuel to think of and also running issues as over time they do drain ya money even when not used often..... but yeah, some insurers will do limited milage, but normally on a classic car.... and for over 25s... how old are you?

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 yup you can mate got mine on a limited mileage policy as its now classed as a classic car and I know Helen has hers on a limited one too, well worth it as it reduces your premiums a lot and if necessary you can pay a bit and add a few more miles to it Link to post Share on other sites

Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 cant get it below £1500 anywhere, which for a car i plan to strip and practically make it worthless and then to only drive it 5/6 times a year doesnt make financial sense.Was gunna get a weekend car and motorbike, but will stick with the motorbike for now Link to post Share on other sites
