Definately Selling Now by bigscarydeathfish on Fri Sep 05, 2008 10:12 am
OK, i've had enough of searching insurance companies.

She is now officially for sale.

I will put a proper ad in the 'for sale' section but anyone interested let me know.

'94 2.0 Sport
120,000 miles
Converted from soft top to hard top (soft top frame also available)
10 months MOT (At last test no issues whatsoever)
No Tax
I just want it off my drive.

£350 ONO.

More detailed info & pics in proper ad.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me since I joined the forum, it was always very much appreciated.

I can't get a quote lower than £600 third party. I thought i had one from Noel Dazely but it turned out to be only for 6 months.

I just can't justify the cost.

It's just been sitting on my drive since i bought it in May!

Only came out of a company car scheme last december so 0 no claims bonus + no points on license but did have 5 years ago and 3 accidents!!

Not surprising that its expensive but didnt realise just how much it would be. I wrongly assumed that becuase the value of the vehicle is so low so would the insurance, obviousely i was wrong.

Re: Definately Selling Now by andysd1 on Fri Sep 05, 2008 1:50 pm
also you could put the car in the wife's name and make sure you are covered to drive the car on your insurance, just means you have got to carry your insurance with you every time you drive it, the only down forth to that is when it is parked on the road anywhere in the UK, it will get towed as it will show no insurance on it

I have also tried that! lol

Unfortunately she is about as un-insurable as me! The only thing I haven't ried is giving the vehicle to my mum(who lives in Derbyshire!) and having me as a named driver but i'm not sure of the legality of this.

Whilst the above is true, having yourself as a main driver and adding your Mum onto the policy as a named driver will reduce your premiums. This is perfectly acceptable and legal :)

Re: Definately Selling Now by mikey-d on Sat Sep 06, 2008 11:28 am
It's all down to the zero ncb really, £600 I don't think is that bad, considering I know people with 3yrs ncb who are paying £1000+ on corsa 1.2's!

Admiral multicar is supposed to be quite good, and should be right up your street as it were since you're saying it's a 3rd car.
