    to tell you the truth, looking at a dealer in the uk, cant find anything not modified here.

    i have it all worked out including car, vrt, roadside check of the car, travel to and back, but I cant find anything for sale anywhere here(buyandsell, autotrader, cbg, carzone) to compare final price. only 2 i can find is a 2000, thats €7700, modified high miles and a 2003 on carzone, and that crazy so and so wants €20k!!!

    a few up north for sale, but again all modified. There seem to be none advertised for sale down here other than the 2 I mentioned....

    I am looking for a replament for my corsa gsi and despite the fact that the vts is the same as the 106 gti, quinn direct in all their brilliance wont insure the gti.

    so the one i have found in the uk is working out a bit more expensive than i had planned because of the vrt on a 2001 car (was thinking older when i started looking)

    according to the vrt the open market price for a 2001 vts is abot €8k, was just looking for some constuctive opinions.

    and as you say camarobill, the nct is one of the few variables i cant account for, even if the aa do as full a check as they claim

    Why not go for a 106 Gti much better car in my opinion.
    Essentially the same engine and a lot better handling.

    I know of a 01 106 Gti in mint cond for 9,000.

    Sorry only seen your post above about quinn direct not insuring the 106.
    Did you try any other companies for qoutes, there are far more competitive qoutes to be gotten especially on a Vts/Gti,quinn direct are expensive for anything that is of the Gti variety.

    i am insured with them atm with my corsa gsi (109bhp) and they will transfer my insurance to the vts (120bhp?) at no extra charge but wont insure the gti, go figure.

    but the quinn dont make much sence. They will let me put a bloody 2l into the gsi, but wont insure the friggin car the 2l was coming out of.

    they will insure the vts (120bhp in a small car), but wont insure me on a volvo s40(125bhp in a large car).

    i have given up trying to figure it out and have 4 months left on my insurance, cant afford to drive the gsi much longer cause the engine is not the best, so decided to go with the VTS for now.
