tomsy Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Been wanting to buy a second car for a while now, so i can take the escort off the road and take it to the next level in trying to get it looking as good as i can. Needed a 4 door as the car is to be used by my step daughter and her partner as well as me, also had to be a good size as they have 2 young kids, cheap to keep on the road and reliable. After a few weeks looking on autotrader a mitsubishi charisma kept popping up went to have a look first impressions very good 57,000 miles full mitsubishi service history stamps and invoices 8 months MOT tax till end of the month took it for a drive not the most exciting experience but couldn't fault it so for £1650 i got this http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31738.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31739.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31740.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31741.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsy Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks bongo, was wondering how you manage with insurance running 2 cars, got the escort on a sorn at the moment but when i put it back on the road would i be right in thinking i can't use my ncd on 2 cars. If thats the case i done a comparison web site quote with 0 ncd come back with £212. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 u can only use 1 set of ncd on one car212 is pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsy Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 u can only use 1 set of ncd on one car212 is pretty good!Thought so Scott, ideally i just want to insure it for 6 months during the summer but i'm guessing i'd struggle to find an insurer to do that.

bongo Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 yeah thats right toms.you changed the escort to a classic car policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 i wouldnt rly consider it a classic yet, unfortunately i think mk6s are just in that 'old' phase at the moment, in 5 or 6 years though they will definitely be classics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 To us it's not a classic but that's what the policy is called,3000 miles and under,mines in a classic with Adrian flux...I phoned one company and they're criteria for a classic was a car older than 10 years.

JC Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Seats look comfy? looks alright toms,apart from being silver lolNothing wrong with silver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsy Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Seats look comfy? Nothing wrong with silver!It is comfy, a bit like driving your favourite armchair down the road, silvers a good colour for hiding little scratches unlike a dark colour that shows up everything so i'm happy with silver.
