Re: Selling Cars Privately

I was asking £18k for my E46 M3 which was mint and still under extended warranty. Chap turns up loves the car and offers me £15k I decline and a local dealer offered to sale or return it for £17,500 to me as he didn't need to prep or warranty it. The same pleb bought it off him a few days later for ...

Re: EV Thread

530 is a phev now as is the merc e300 at 2210kg.

I'm not here to argue on the internet just pointing out it's not any heavier than an ICE equivalent.

Re: EV Thread

They only sell hybrids 530's in the UK at 2080kg your figures are US market.

At 1910kg the RWD Inonic6 is not noteworthy of being heavy for a car of its size.

ETA they are similar in size 5m long, 3m wheelbase and 2m wide.

2000kg....
So for context about a 100kg less than the current BMW 530.

Commuting to more than 1 site was a big loading for my daughter so probably worth looking into.

Re: First Cars - Insurance

Whilst kids have a provisional and are learning its probably the norm rather than viewed as fronting hence why most insurers cancel the learners cover when they pass. Beyond that point I suspect its as Rich puts it, how much are the insurers trying to mitigate a claim. Going back to Ascenders moan t...

The Sunday round was a killer in the late 80's. Needed 2 bags so had to walk it as not safe on my bike with them criss-crossed over shoulder :lol:

Re: First Cars - Insurance

Try a Citroen C1, Skoda Citigo or Seat Mii. Tried the Mii and that came in at 2.8k as well. I started messing with other potential variables, excess, cover level (TPF&T always used to be about 50% cheaper and I figured maybe a £500 snotter for a year on TPF&T cover might be a good idea) dri...

Re: Confessions of a younger driver.....

My mate had a MK1 Jetta and was goaded into hitting a hump back bridge at 50mph 😂

Smashed the sump and none of the doors would open afterwards, it looked like a banana.

He set it on fire there and then! ☹️

A manual T circa £100k would be my sweet spot for a new(ish) 911 as a fun car.

Re: First Cars - Insurance

My son passed today so paying the £1500 on his birthday 2 months ago with LV will be worth it.

If I had to insure his car now he's passed without telematics would be £3760 for a year.
