So if i cancel my insurance, can i start it again in say 3 months and ill still have the 7 months ive gained so far?

No, I don't think so. You only keep any full years NCB that you have if you cancel halfway through a policy.

Ask your insurer if you can 'freeze' your policy. I did it a few years ago when I didn't have a car for a few months, basically your policy is on hold and then when you get a new car you can start the policy again without losing NCB. Don't know if all insurers do it, I was eith Endsleigh at the time.

I think it was for a car he was buying. Still sounds like the wrong eBayer to be dealing with.

bcstudent, aye you're right mate - me looky too quicky :-)

[-Neil- 0]

well phoned him and going to look at it 2morow.

even tho it was -1, ive phoned him and organsied a viewing for 5pm 2morow(monday). if i was biding on ebay i wouldnt, but as im veiwing it he said he'd end it early if i buy.

Ive printed off the buying guide, (thanks C forum)

Ive got a few bits of info i would like to ask you lot to see what kinda of price i should offer,

Its a facelift model 1993 K reg, 2.0 16v.

(quote from ebay)

IT HAS A FULL SERVICE HISTORY AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION. UNLIKE MANY ALL THE EXTRAS WORK. THE SPOILER IS SPEED ACTIVATED AND WORKS OFF THE BUTTON TOO. THE WINDOWS,MIRRORS AND SUNROOF ARE ELECTRIC AND WORK FINE AS DOES THE FULL CLOSURE CAT 1 ALARM AND IMMOBILISER!!! MECHANICALLY VERY GOOD. IT HAS RECENTLY HAD AN OIL AND ALL FILTERS CHANGE AND A NEW CAM BELT AND IS COMPLETE WITH A MASSIVE SERVICE FILE AND BOOK OF RECEIPTS AND ALL THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION. IT HAS ALSO JUST HAD A NEW LOWERING KIT PROFESSIONALLY FITTED.

 

Bad points:-

Needs two new front tyres

Engine taps little from cold start, but its done 145K, so i suspect thats normal?

SMALL DENT IN DRIVERS DOOR AND ON THE REAR PANEL (£35 TO GET THESE OUT AND I CAN GET IT DONE IF SOMEONE WANTS) AND THE DRIVERS HEADLIGHT IS CRACKED.

 

 

Just wondering that i could offer, he's got it on auto trader at £2250 and on ebay at starting bid of £800.

 

He says it MUST GO!

 

So if its right im going to buy it, baring in mind the usual points ot check etc.

 

Please help me as im really looking forward to getting a C!

Dunno who he's gonna get to remove both dents for £35.

Last I heard it was more like double that per each panel worked on.

 

Price wise... Not sure. If he's asking £2250 on the trader, chances are he'd take something shy of 2 grand. If the car's good, offer him around 1 1/2 and see where you end up.

[-Neil- 0]

Cheers Louie Lungbubble, i was thinking the same, im going with a mate who buys and sells cars so im hoping he can waggle the price.

 

Getting excited now!

 

Now off ot work ,will heck replies at 3.pm wen i get home, then setting off at 3.30 to go view it!

[dinkus 10]

Good luck! :D

[Walesy 0]

if you use paintless dent removal companies they would charge around £35 for that typa work.

 

i paid £40 to have about 6 dinks knocked out on my 8v before i sold it.

[-Neil- 0]

chear dinkus! leaving in 30 mins, takes hour n half to get there.

[JBOB 0]

How did it go Neil. Or are you to busy driving up and down the back roads of South Yorks :lol:

 

Sorry I couldnt come with you mate :oops: I hate my job :lol:

[-Neil- 0]

Well then, little story to tell you all.

 

Got there, hour later due to traffic. Looked at it, checked it all out, took it for test drive.

All was good, so offered him £1800, flat out refused it saying hes looking for at least £2100,so we then offered £1950, refused it , so then we went to £2k, he refused it, we said, thanks very much. we went home, (hour and half away).

Got to sheffield, after hour and 15 mins of driving, got a text,

Hi Neil, i will go to £2k, i know you have ot make another trip but if you can let me know by wednesday.

So i rang him, said, look, we're in sheffield now, gonna cost me another £30 in fuel to get back to you, take it off the £2k and ill come get it now.

 

So went back, brought it.

 

 

Now sat on my drive at 12.20am. only took 8 hours from leaving my house at 4pm!

 

Well chuffed, goes well, was great on motorway! 130 on my priavte track, just to test it of course!

 

ALL eletctrics work, sunroof tilts and slides, spoilers goes up at speed and button, mirrors work, windows work, total closure works.

ABS light comes on and goes off.

Trip computer works.

 

Only few tiny bit that need sorting.

Power stearing pump is wining a little bit.

The in-car air direction control is stuck

 

 

Apart from that its GREAT!

 

Cheers for all your advice, will get pics once ive washed it!
