Getting a 'new' car

[Noel Gallagher]

Hi guys

I have a few questions about getting a new (second hand) car. Basically my current car is on the blink and I've decided to upgrade rather than throw more cash at it.

My questions are:

Do I transfer tax or have to renew it for new car? What do I do about my current car until I sell it?

Insurance, mine isn't up for renewal until May, so if I transfer to the new car, how does my no claims work for this full year? do I still have to renew in May or is it a fresh 12 months from transferring?

Cheers

Thanks for your replies guys.

I pay monthly for my tax, so I guess I just cancel and lose out on one month? The car wont be used, I will be looking to sell it tbh, so do I have to declare it not on the road?

I'll see what the fees are with my insurer, I think I would prefer to stay as I'm on my 2nd year of driving and only a few months away from my 2 years no claim

I'm expecting the insurance to be more, as it's a better car and more powerful

Sorry for the noob questions, it all looked confusing when reading online!

I was gonna call them today after work to just get a quote. I'm 27 (late to the party!) so hopefully that shouldn't be an issue?

I'm with Hastings Premier if that helps
