16V_Silver Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Hi all Well I have been thinking of either selling my 1.6 Escort or alternatively P/X for a smaller car e.g. 1.1 or 1.2 engine. This is because my insurance is so expensive.. £100 per month at the moment The tax and MOT are also both due shortly. It seems the tax is £105 for 6 months if the car is 1.6 or above which I was a bit shocked about! So, I just wanted to see what everyones views are on whats best to do... Sell or Part Exchange? Also, as the tax is expensive I was also thinking of declaring the car as SORN until sold/ready for P/X. Would this be a good idea? And can the vehicle be kept on a driveway? Or alternatively, a residential parking area? Are these both considered 'off road'? Thanks for any opinions on the above. Cheers Edited February 24, 2010 by 16V_Silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meekstaaa Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 car park, probably not off road. driveway is ok though. The tax isn't that bad. remember your escort will be worth Fcuk all especially if you trade in (except scrappage scheme but i doubt u will be using that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzetec Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wack it on ebay with tax or the option to buy the tax from you. You will get far less for it as a part ex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saunders Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Before you do this. I'd look into quotes of 1.1/1.2, theres really not much difference mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Begin by checking insurance quotes on cars your thinking of getting to replace it. You may find you''' save only a few quid a month, ad for that youll end up with some french P.O.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
