Car loan, what can I do?

  • A lot of people don't bother shopping around and just grab the first quote. Also never get a quote from a comparison website, always PHONE directly with the insurance company.


    NEVER take your renewal quote. I always get £200-£300 knocked off the price of my renewal if I actually phone up the company.

    You won't think you're old when you're 67. My mother is 92 and still going strong. And we're the pampered generation, don't forget.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    If I got that knocked of my renewal they would be giving me money.

    I have stayed with the same insurance for years because when the renewal comes through I can never find a cheaper quote from any other insurance company.

    Pretty much the same here, I could save a couple of quid going with Bert's Backstreet Insurance Co but it is not worth the risk. The ones that give cash back through Quidco etc take a lot more than they give and the ones that "are not on comparison sites" obviously don't like being seen at the bottom of lists. ;)

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    No, but just had a look at the synopsis and this isn't what I was suggesting for MSE. I value the opinion of the older generation on here (so long as we have no mention of rationing...). ;)

    AFAIR The book itself puts the age limit at 21 (I think) not 30 as in the film :eek:
