Sold 1990 Eunos Roadster - now SOLD

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Phoned up direct line for a quick* quote to see how much more it would cost me to insure this than the Scirocco.

You would have thought that I was asking for the answer to life, the universe and everything.

Apparently to change, it would cost an additional £10.24 plus a £15.00 admin fee, I currently pay £156.

'OK', says I, 'How much for the full year?' It expires in October.

Ah...

27 minutes & three people later, we finally arrive at £169.

So, £13.00 extra for the full year but £25.24 extra for 3 months.

Direct Line, Fuck off, I won't be renewing.

 

You're paying £155 a year for a proper (non-classic) policy? Then they quote you £170 and theyre getting the big FO? Thats about the cheapest insurance policy I've ever heard of man.

Aaaah well, life got in the way of insurance quotes and I lost out..... Well purchased Billy.

I haven't bought it, Kev has

Sorry chief.  You were posting in other threads on Monday so I figured interest had waned and you just didn't want to say so.  It needs to be gone by the end of tomorrow, so MEGA PRICE DROP reflects that.  I'll still make up most of the difference with the bits that aren't sold and the insurance refund, which means I'll have cash for tyres for the Impreza.

 

Having said that, I still don't know what day KFW is collecting (I'm working from home today just in case..), and as we all know well with old chod, until the cash is in your hand and the car is off the street, it's not sold.

944S - £180 - another proper policy with Aviva, they'll do me multi vehicle discount, so I strongly suspect that the Scirocco will be moving there too. Customer service was markedly better.

When the admin fee is 10% of the policy, things are different!

I can't read properly, or buy cars it seems.

Naaaah you were spot on, I tried Adrian flux and was waiting for a callback Monday.... Never happened. Went to ring them after work on Tuesday and it had already gone so fair play.

[loserone]

Somewhat surprised to still have this sitting around but collection has been postponed pretty late on today.  Seeing as the tax runs out tomorrow and I have nowhere to store it off the road, might I suggest that insurance quotes are readied for anyone interested and actually able to collect it?

 

Sale not cancelled, but requests for a firm time (I waited in today..) or a deposit aren't being very forthcoming at the minute, and I do not want to still have this on Friday.

 

Think Mr DVee8 can probably attest to it's shagged-out £150 banger characteristics..?

[DVee8]

HaHa Yep proper shagger very green and tan or so very tan.With a little time and some tlc it will make someone a nice motor.but if it hadn't been outside his house today i would have sailed past.

Good luck if it doesn't go i may have to come back lol.

Most companies are 25 quid for any change so this is probably cheap!  The percentage seems high given its a low premium to start with - would imagine Aviva would have a similar admin charge?

Ready wiling and able. 

[loserone]

It's gone!

 

Mr FromWales travelled through the night and was sleeping in his car at the end of the garden when I work up.

 

Something about a Hairnet in a 200k Bluebird in London?

[Cavcraft]

Kev and Hairnet are both epic chod collectors.

[Jim Bell]

Why isn't KFW on here anyway?

 

He's ugly and interesting. Can someone sort this out please.

Also, he left beer in my garden.

Adrian Flux eventually provided me with a £180 quote on this after Lancaster wanted £1700. I think they misheard "Eunos Roadster" as "large aircraft carrier". Got the train down to £38 too but glad it's gone in the end.....

[purplebargeken]

AF appear to have lost the plot quote-wise. 

[Pillock]

AF weren't bad, £180 on classic is about as cheap as insurance will ever be on that. Lancaster were on industrial strength drugs.

[Cavcraft]

AF are shit. I got a quote from them yesterday for £595 and someone else said £77, it's not even remotely close.

[New POD]

Thank god this is sold. I was so close to thinking about maybe, saving it.
