It would be cheaper for me to buy and insure a 'run it 'til it dies' piece of crap, put the '8' off the road, fix the broken bits and wait until the cost comes down but I can't bring myself to do it.
This is a black day.
Any help or support appreciated. I've got a major decision to make.
So...
If anyone has, or can point me in the direction of, a car that'll do 1k miles a month with minimal maintenance, is group 1 insurance preferably  and not s h i t (is this possible  )...oh and cheap as well.
Is there anything fast and comfortable and cheap to insure?
Or... do I pay the thieving feckers?
Not a happy day  |
Not good Steve, I would be surprised if the comparison sites don't improve on your insures.
