Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 As the others have said, going down the route of a contract sale is very dodgy and could turn into a nightmare. Your legal recourse is next to nothing and the cost of litigation would be quite high. I would also not recomend the option of keeping it in your name and insuring him as a second driver. What if he smashes it up? You will lose your NCB and wll have to declare the claim on your future insurances. I think thsi is one occassion whereby I would walk away unless he can come up with the readies. thats true too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he'll be starting with either 0 or 30% NCB...either way its a seperate insurance policy and wont effect his main one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will as you have to declare any insurance claims regrdles what policy it was claimed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale B Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Ah...I thought you meant on that policy. Good to have you NCB protected then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hornet Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Not absolutely true there Dale, Even if you have an accident on a 2nd car policy when it comes to renewal of your 1st car policy you are obliged to inform them of any accident. Now although this may not effect your premium with some companies, it will cause premiums rises if you change insurer! Although I wish it did work they you described They tell you all this in the "failure to disclose relevant information" part of their policies - same sort of thing for most financial contracts or insurances.

bens747 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 he is going to pay £250 for 18 months its a very trusted friends brother. he is 36 and he says he wont muck me about. his brother says he could get the keys and log book back if there was problems. just need a nice letter. a i have a bad point about me that i am too trustworthy of other people. I agree .... if he ain't got the money up front then don't do it ..... not worth the risk ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
