Might be going back to a Cinq for a while (Panda 100hp next Christmas?? ), and have seen one locally which looks to be ok - going for a proper once over and test drive tomorrow.
Obviously the car market is somewhat slow at the moment with the credit crunch, and I'm mindful of that.
This car is a little yellow cinq sporting, 97 reg, 59,367 miles, MOT-07-2009. Taxed 31/12/08.
Has a Sei sporting interior, and some aftermarket 5 spoke 13's on it.
It's on the forecourt for £950 - which I think is a little on the steep side, even if it's completely mint.
No idea on the history, or how many owners - but the garage do offer full hpi report.
Toying with the idea of buying it with the intentions of keeping it standard (well, in it's current form shall we say), and selling the Sei to pay for my deposit on the panda & my holiday next May.
If I did decide to mod it a little, I've my black and silver Sei wheels, and a twin exit power flow sat in my shed - but that's about as far as I'd go I think...
Realistically I know I'd never get more than about £1650 for my car in a private sale, and even less at trade in - So I'd need to be looking at around £500 for the cinq to make this a sensible trade off.
Assuming that after a drive and a thorough checking over, all seems to be in order - what do we think this little yellow beasty is worth?
Also while I'm asking - is anyone insured with Endsleigh? - a mate suggested to me that with them if you change your car mid policy for reasons other than accident damage, that they restart the policy and you lose the no claims you've built up on the previous vehicle? - If that's the case is there anything illegal about me adding this car to my policy and forgetting to tell the insurer that I've sold my Sei?
I only ask since my policy runs out on the 10th of January, and it seems daft to waste the best part of a years no claims.
Alternatively, is there anything illegal about me insuring this car on a seperate policy with a different insurer?
