Great news is that there is No rust to be seen and just the odd stone chip and wheel kerbing. The only other thing I have noticed is the clips that hold the leather on the sides of the seat has come away and just needs clipping in, well I hope thats all it needs!!!
Anyway, here is where I need some advice please. Where do I go for the best insurance deals? I will only be driving for approx 4k miles per year. Do I take out an admiral multi car or is there any specialist insurers that I should try??
Info: Im 32, 14 years ncb, no points, or accidents.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Saw the pics of your new baby on your other thread - very nice - the best colour!
All any of us can do is make recommendations based on our own experience but obviously we're all different!
I'm 52 with but with only 7 yrs NCD - should be more but for a crazy mother distracted by her 4x4 full of kids taking out my entire Voyager wing mirror assembly - very nearly a head-on. I was quoted an eye-watering £400 by the stealership so made a claim but later discovered it would only have cost £135 if I'd paid the authorised bodyshop myself - barely more than the policy excess... but that's another story!
So - I recently bought a late '06 black SRT coupe with 28.5k miles and got what I thought was a good price with Sainsbury's Premier cover of £309 including protected NCD, legal and breakdown cover and direct debit instalments - and it was only about £40 a year more than a standard car.
Sainsbury's standard cover was £26 less and the only cheaper quote was Privilege @ £207 but was much more basic.
Maybe my age or postcode helps - what area are you?
