Cheapest insurance? (Now purchased)

[Mito Man]

I think the quotes are reasonable, £500 of that is just the typical London surcharge.

Fancy a smart? Get yourself to Poland for this beast

Sounds like you need to move!

Classic car insurance is often cheap, as are Caterham and other kit cars IIRC. Probably a garage is needed though... I'm not sure, I've never tried without.

After all the hassle he's had with the leaseholders?

BECAUSE of all the hassle he's had with the leaseholders!

Moving is on the cards at some point, although I don't really want to rent somewhere else in London as rental prices are through the roof and my mortgage repayments are roughly the same as a room in a houseshare, and I'm sure you'll understand how being four years deep into litigation with your neighbours isn't the best USP if I wanted to sell

My wife's smart is renewing soon - I need to shop around as we're being quoted £800 for that

In a break from forum convention of asking for recommendations and then buying something completely different, I have now bought the cheapest to insure car, as identified in this thread.

It's currently in Sundayjumper Autowerx having a good once over and a variety of minor issue being fixed.

In the true spirit of getting something on the road for as few ££ as possible I am now the proud owner of a £510 smart car

Smartarse.

That's not a lot of £s. What age is it?

It's a 52 plate which needs a handful of things fixing for an MOT, plus has heated seats and a Panasonic [sic] roof

Luckily parts are cheap too

[Mito Man]

Does the insurance cost less than the car?

[Gavster]

Insurance costs more than the car.

Although expecting to spend somewhere around £300 on parts for the MOT and with a new ticket the car would sell for ~£1k.

That's a fun little thing. Three of my friends have them - as well as other cars, but the Smarts get most use.

One of them has a slight issue that the windscreen isn't properly sealed and pops out a bit when closing the doors

[Gavster]

I'm really looking forward to driving it, I've always liked their design. Also, the fact I have to park on the street in a busy neighbourhood means I'm going to be spending even less time than ever before looking for parking spaces
