« on: 26 March 2024, 09:34:29 »

My Grandson has just passed his test and bought himself a very nice Mazda 2 his insurance is £3500, he has a black box to monitor his driving without the box it would have been over £6000.

I'm expecting the Range Rover to be around £600 from LV in July working on their price increase, Go compare came up at £246 again all I want is to be legal the RR is a 2007 & probably only worth about £3000.

General Car Chat / Insurance renewal .

« on: 25 March 2024, 11:05:21 »

Last year it cost £233 to insure the Subaru, the renewal this year £351 been with LV for several years, so onto  Go Compare got it for £187 with Carole Nash,the car is  19 years old now so it would be written off for any damage sustained in an accident, all I want is to be legal. I told LV that I would not be renewing they asked if I would like a quote to see if they could reduce the premium, told them that they have just got too greedy now & that the vehicle will now be insured elsewhere.

This one looks to be pretty rot free, hasn't been used since last October due to illness I didn't even try to start it , I won't attempt to drive it home will arrange for a transporter , have it thoroughly checked over mechanically when it's home, the bonnet has a nasty scratch which will have to be sorted the interior is mint( tan leather)

Buyers guide, Mick

Thanks Steve, interesting read I've had 3 Granadas two Mk1s & 1 MK2, never had any problems with them but obviously they were a lot newer back then in the 70s/80s I have seen the one for sale when I've visited my lad & from across the road it looked really nice I quite like the idea of having one as a " toy ".

It's a cracker (  2.8 Ghia X) deposit paid will sort it all out when we get back from our cruise , lovely old lady to deal with , I've had one of these years ago but only a 2.3GL .

.  You'll need to make space in the garage as well!

The Subaru will now be banished to the driveway 👍

That’s really bad when they have to gratuitously trash things for nothing. I really hope they get caught and get a good kicking

How? From who?
