Soldato
Hi There,
I have seen a second hand car for my gf, that is owned by my mechanics customer who has given the car to my mechanic to sell but who still has the log book which he is handing over tomorrow.
My mechanic has said he will give the car to my gf to drive around as there maybe some underlining problems with it so she needs to get insured on the car.
When my gf called prospective insurers (einsurers and asda) they said they could not insure her on the vehicle because it did not belong to:-
a spouse, parent, and a few other people none of them including a friend....
So she would have to register the vehicle on her name so she could be insured on it...
Trouble is if she did that and then after a month the car broke down and was not feasible to repair she would have to then pay to scrap it as such, is this true? She was hoping if she handed it back to the mechanic in the event of bad breakdown he can do whatever he wants....
How can she insure herself on this car without registering herself as the keeper?
Please advise
Thanks
