Welcome to the forum Fint.
my mechanic services a number of FTO's - I can give you his number when the time comes.

I've seen quite a few FTO's for sale around Limerick/Clare recently - so finding the right one shouldn't be too hard.

Get it in writing. Very important, insurance companies are great at saying "no we would never quote you for that" well after you have been quoted and you have bought.

1300 is fantastic for a 22 year old. I was paying 4500 at 24.
Is the quote for a GR/GPx? or a GS?

21 and getting it for 1000 as a named driver :D with Quinn Aswell,, seemingly if you put the value of the car up on the online quote the insurance goes down? :shock: give it a try,
