Update on Reis, they weren’t wanting to entertain my current cover or the policy price. Had to phone them up to get that answer. The car isn’t getting used so I am tempted not to bother until next year but that doesn’t feel a safe or clever option. I believe you can get laid up insurance if you aren’t using it on the road, not sure who does it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s interesting, I’ll see how that goes down with the insurance. Waiting on a call back from Lancaster. I said in another thread that these cars seem to be appreciating quicker than the insurance companies are comfortable with despite providing adverts, full spec, all receipts and many photos. That said, ours is just the VVT-i tiptronic, nothing as desirable as a TT6 or U.K. spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first one in the results so there will be many more that do. https://www.footmanjames.co.uk/laid-up-insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I hadn't run a we buy valuation for probably 10 years, when it was valued at £650. Today, so long as the car has a full service history, no damage, runs perfectly and is in generally Steller condition we buy any car will give £150. It shows how difficult it must be for insurers to value the cars. £150 though, scrap price is £175. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give you £200 if you're interested - taking a big risk here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Just tried we buy any car valuation with my E92 M3 and came out with £15,235. Which is about what I paid for it 3 years ago, similar cars are nearer £20k now it seems. Not a bad valuation though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
