Hi all,
I'd like advice on two things:
1) Best (i.e. cheapest to run and maintain) small / medium car as follows:
2) How to go about buying this car first and waiting to sell my existing one privately:
I'd like advice on two things:
1) Best (i.e. cheapest to run and maintain) small / medium car as follows:
- Ideal budget £3k, but could stretch to £5k.
- 5000 miles per year town driving (i.e. lots of traffic lights!).
- 4 doors.
- I'm thinking Jap hybrid? I like the Honda CRZ, but it's only 2 doors AFAIK.
- Not looking at plug-in (probably none in this price bracket anyway).
2) How to go about buying this car first and waiting to sell my existing one privately:
- I'd like to transfer my no-claims to the new car.
- I assume I declare the old one SORN (to save money on insurance, since I won't be driving them both).
- It will be kept on my driveway, but fire/theft might still be a concern?
- If it's SORN, can I get cheap insurance for it?
- Assume this is no hassle for the buyer?
