lol not surprised then. Insurance has gone up quite some margin in the last year. I paid 2.8 grand just to insure my 1.4 albeit im 18 with 0 NCB and live in south east london.
Dont blame you for trying though, if I got quoted 2 grand on a cupra Id chop my car in also.
Was that quote under your name, and how much NCB have you got?
