FTO's with leather seats?

Lord-Jaffa · 14 Mar 2006 at 18:07

This is the problem im having at the moment, i really do quite like the FTO's and keep checking them out on autotrader, however ive currently got a Mk4 2003 Astra GSI, which is a fantastic car, cheap to run (i get about 30-35mpg), Costs me £400 a year to insure, which for a 200bhp car at 25 is pretty cheap. However im never satisfied with what i have and i keep looking around for something else!

How much did you pay from the group buy mate, and how much are they charging you to fit them? Im assuming you are getting it done somewhere locally?

I paid £245 and im gonna pay some dude from the forum another 80quid to fit it in on sunday.

and for information purposes :cool:

I was the first person to get the leatherette on the forum, even though i was the last person to pay.

Well, Id ring A-Plan, get a quote and tell them Sky quoted you £1000, and see what they say. £1000 in your situation with 3 claims, points etc doesnt sound bad to me, specially for what is sometimes a ridiculous car to insure.

I rang Sky and A-Plan with a quote already from Admiral and they beat that by a fair bit, if you give them a price to aim for they can normally tweak a few parts of the process, not many sales services will give you their best price without being pushed.

Yeah good idea with regard to ringing round - obviously that was my first quote.

£1k insurance to me seems sky high - you have to bear in mind im 28 this year so premiums should be low low low !

Thats not bad, Im still undecided whether I like the look of them, think Ill have to see some in the flesh to make the decision. Dont think the pictures quite do them justice.
