It would appear not rare for OMF members to own multiple cars. Is this not very costly or are the majority shared access to perhaps a partners car. The reason I ask is I would love to get myself a 2.6 MV6 manual saloon in the future. I presume my NCB would not transfer onto a second car. Am I missing a trick here?

I was surprised when I asked Admiral recently that the cost of 2 was not much more than 1. Road Tax is a bit of a pain though.

Should be in general car chat

Sorry for this.

Could a mod move this thread to general

Some Insurance Co will Mirror your exiting policy on to another Car. its something you have to ask if they do rather than something they offer.

Agree with Zirk - they work on basis you don't drive both at same time.

Just insured my Dti, £30 a month extra for the second car

Assuming that you will not in fact be driving both at the same time, you could save on road tax by having the number plates on wing nuts......

Is £360 a year for insurance good?

Age dependant, but yeah I'd be very happy at that

I probably would be too, I got the impression that James thought it was especially good. All mine were £900-ish inclusive last year, which I thought was/is good, I'd had quotes of that alone for the Merc and some places even quoted more for a 700cc turbo'd Smart than for a group 16/17 3.0 Omega

my second car (omega)  is on same basis as main car (Phaeton) except for mileage but it also has 4 drivers as opposed to just 2 on Phaeton - cost - Omega £230 and Phaeton £300 pa

I have built up NCD across 2 cars in my name, plus a 3rd in Mrs TB's name.  Another reason for getting the Battlebus was to keep the NCD up.

no idea how it is running multiple cars in UK but here not cheap..  


however, I live in a very crowded city with a huge parking problem and heavy traffic where driving and parking a large v6 is not practical..


so I use a small 4 pot daily.. I generally use Omega at the weekends or whenever we are crowded or for long journeys..

I guess most running costs are not really part of the equation, as when you are using one, you are not wearing out parts on the "spare".

So the biggest costs I see, aside from purchase/depreciation costs, are tax and insurance.
