Guys I just bought a golf. The insurance part is one big hassle...
To start with most of the companies dont insure this car... dunno why :?
a couple of willing companies have given me outrageous quotes :shock:
anyone else in the same boat ? :cry:

Not quite certain, I know very well what car you have....the 02 Golf converti, from front it has the new Mk4 (98-2005) shape and rear looks like previos generation Mk3 (95-97) golfs. Don't worry 2.0L should be easily insured :wink: i'll contact you tomorrow and give you the details of the companies and what they said...then you can check it out with em 8)
cheers

Well i had the same problem few years back but that was with a VW corrado with a V6 engine ! the car was a queen, but someone warned me that insurance would be a problem, so before purchasing the car I cheked with like 10 insurance companies, only 1 gave me an approval to insure it and the price was something like 2000 Dhs for a third part insurance only !! why !! they consider it a fast car !!
the funny part ma8 that some insurance companies didn't even know what was the car i was talking about !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

It is not the fast car part that bugs them. It is the two doors that kill the deal. According to these morons, 2 doors = dangerous sports car. My other car, an older modded Toyota Supra Turbo, is insured under my dad's name for Dhs 2000 3rd party. My 4-door old Merc 2.6 inline-6 is Dhs 600.

Agree with you, the % I paid on my Type R is more than I pay for the 350Z.
You what? You have a Supra = YOU BUSTARD! I WANT :lol: :lol: :lol:

Everywhere else in the world the insurance is low for two doors because the risk is lower in case you accidently open the door in the middle of the road :lol:

I have a 1987 Twin Turbo with '91 2.5 1JZ-GTE conversion and other mods. It passed Tasjeel for one year at least, somehow (although it failed Shamil).

Hehe. It just now got a dent in the rear bumper, but the Hyundai Coupe which rammed it got cancelled.
