They insured me without a garage when everyone else said nayYup. They wouldnt offer at all. This may be more to do with ME than anything else. For some reason insurance companies seem to hate me. They might be keeping track of all the policies I start and then cancel in the cooling off period I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 I know absolutely that the new owner will take better care of it and keep it longer than I ever would. Which is certainly for the best all round. Slartibartfast and flat4alfa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yup. They wouldnt offer at all. This may be more to do with ME than anything else. For some reason insurance companies seem to hate me. They might be keeping track of all the policies I start and then cancel in the cooling off period I guess. Or could be that most insurance companies do a credit search when you take out a policy. So if you have taken out policies often, its possible that you have a lot of searches on your credit history. This hurts your credit rating. Maybe worth looking at your credit history.

Jim Bell Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 What is your ownership record? This one must be all of 36 hoursI picked a Volvo 343 up from Beverley with Overrun that we went halves on (the town, not the woman) and we sold it to a lad on the way home. Didnt plan to sell it, just got a good offer en route home. That was probably about 3 hours ish of ownership. Hard to beat that I reckon. Was a lovely drive though. somewhatfoolish, Slartibartfast, Tickman and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 That was probably about 3 hours ish of ownership. Hard to beat that I reckon. Chum of mine once managed 15 minutes ownership of an Escort Mk6. Bought it in Bangor, drove it 5 miles home to Ards along the dual carriageway; realised he didn't much care for the way it handled at speed and carried on past his door to a local dealer, where he chopped it in against a Honda CRX. His wife was mildly confused because he went out to collect a white Ford but came home in a blue Honda. #shitelife Lacquer Peel, SiC, Essex V6 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Insurance searches are soft searches that don’t impact anything. Are they still soft searches even after taking out a policy?

BorniteIdentity Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I owned a Rover 75 for 8 minutes once. Shook on the deal outside, left the car running, did the bizzo and paperwork, came outside to see the needle in the red and a steam screen. The refund took a couple of days as I paid on card, and the v5 had to be tippexed. Quality. Lacquer Peel, RobT, sierraman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
