Classic insurance?

Yes turned 15 in January and Autoline quoted. €500 ish for year with 5000 mile limit. Was very hard to insure before that, was about €1800.

I was only paying €710/year when I had mine - it was a 2001 reg. Is €400/six months not more expensive!?

It's more expensive to tax per quarter or biannually, than if you pay all in one go for a year.

But in relative terms I think bang for buck the tax is cheap on these compared to say, an E46 M3 or 350z.

MetzgerMeister · 13-09-2019 12:38pm

If the car is in storage for the winter, why would he tax it for a full year?

Absolutely - its one of the reasons I chose it myself at the time!

Its €394 for six months on the "normal" tax rate for pre-2008 - and then just declare it off the road for winter? (I'm just not seeing the benefit of "classic tax" here if its €400 for six months)

Now the classic insurance at €500 is fantastic... I paid €2400 for my first year on the S2000 when I had it :eek:

I think he means classic insurance with Autoline, and that he taxes it it for 6 mths for €400, which is more or less equal to €394.

Apologies lads meant classic insurance, and yes I'm a stinge who pays quarterly tax ! Then declare it off the road.

Personally I don't see any reason why you shouldn't do it that way. If that's what suits you then fooken do it!

My daily is only €200 to tax for the year and I'm still tight enough to go quarterly !

Definitely more dew-ey this weather

Cleaned the car during the week, definitely need to spray the weeds again though

3rdDegree · 20-09-2019 3:13pm

Picked this up in July as my driving no longer suited a diesel. Very happy with it so far.

Alanstrainor · 20-09-2019 4:03pm

Toyota are right on the money with their new designs. Camry and Corolla look fantastic to me. Well wear, looks super in red.

masterboy123 · 20-09-2019 4:04pm

Is it corolla hybrid?

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 22-09-2019 4:04am

I love all the cars posted in this thread. Not even the particular cars, just the fact that they’re so fücking clean and polished and clean. From the 1.6 diesels to the 3 liter petrols. All car people giving their cars the love they need.

dsaint1 · 23-09-2019 11:11pm

Only a week old (for me). 2.0Lt Petrol, Quattro, DSG. Very happy coming from a 1.7 diesel

punisher5112 · 24-09-2019 1:12am

What's handling like and it's about time seeing them back in petrol....

Diesel was a sin in something like that....

I don't think dsaint1 was necessarily saying the diesel car he had was a TT though unless I am mistaking and 1.7 diesel would be an unlikely displacement for a VAG car in my head.

I do know that the TT comes in diesel though which is kind of wrong alright

It has the sline suspension which is slightly lower than standard so along with the Quattro it feels really planted in turns/roundabouts. Great fun to drive so far nothing but impressed.

My last car was a Tuscon diesel but yes the TT is available in 2.0L TDI.

Oh I get that it's in diesel form but it's a car that should only have ever been petrol....

Savage place to be and best of luck with her....

I would love the older 225 as a toy to mess with but I'll have to make do with my Octavia vRS which I'll keep as I've had it since Jan 2010. Id love to fit a bigger turbo, some suspension upgrades and just listen to it go....

Took the R for a run around Connemara yesterday with some friends, a nice variety of metal (including some Boardsies cars)

Beautiful part of the world and the perfect roads for it.

God be with the days when this would be followed by 5 pages of whinging over whether this was a boards only event or for a certain 'clique' :P:D

And the retort from the upset party was to organise their own "meet" to which they themselves were the only ones to turn up :pac:
