You would need an approved value policy to take that into account.

Yes, does seem to be a contradiction really.

He said under, not of.

To my mind that is a good result. Your excess is your excess and was always going to be deducted. The fact that they paid out pretty much what you paid for the car is a result surely?

This won't work for everyone, but I keep the key next to my bed and set the alarm 15 minutes early. When it goes off I nudge Lynn and tell her the car needs defrosting, turn over and snooze for 15.
Works a treat.

I'm not sure there is a difference between a prince and a ponce these days.
Ps, Epstein didn’t kill himself. 😉

A quick google says tesco momentum contains 5% ethanol and Shell V power up to 5%.

Stunning car and you know it's been looked after. For you my friend, I think the hunt is over.😉

I might drive over to local Porsche dealer tomorrow and see what they have to offer and maybe test drive one.
Ah, the hunt begins, a most enjoyable part of the process.

I'm sure there are plenty of instances of people telling insurers one thing and posting a different story on car forums, facebook etc.

Treat it as a learning experience and a day out. You now have a starting point for comparison.

Murica and their right to arm bears.

I stopped after he repeated the same warning twice.

Don't tell the salesman you bought a single. 😉

Insurance companies have been known to trawl social media.
My take on this would be as it was an advisory, it is up to them to prove it contributed to the accident.
-
Always had Tesco momentum in the Porsche. My GT86 definitely gave better mpg on the higher ron, tested over the same work commute over a couple of months.

Two dealers, with two different cars, telling different porkers perhaps?
Welcome.
You are buying an older car, it will almost certainly have issues, the smart money suggests keeping some cash back for maintenance.

It was only when I made the call to them that they had a change of heart and reduced it. I personally think that could be seen as trying to pull a fast one. Almost £80 more than last year is not a small increase. The other company I use gave me a better deal this time £20 cheaper than last year, I think there a few companies who reward loyal customers but sadly not many.

Sneaky indeed.
-
Surely they had to warn you before automatically renewing though? In which case that is the spur to start doing your homework.

5 hours ago, K.I.T.T. said:Why are they called "rubber". They're all latex these days.
Not all. Had a gf who was allergic to latex, had to source non-latex which was not hard. (Pun intended)
-
Guys, just remember ten year old rubber is a no no, both on your cars and in your family planning.

Every brand starts of as budget, does not automatically mean they are cr*p.
Budget tyres against 9.5 year old tyres? Easy choice.
