Have now sold it to We Buy Any Car. Got a few hundred pounds less than originally paid but that's the price of convienience. Did manage to find more space to park in my area but it was very llimited (about 5 spaces at most) and because I had black box insurance i couldn't just park where I felt like. Immediate family are fuming but it's a massive weight off my shoulders. Will wait until I've got a better job and somewhere bigger to live with more room to park before I do that again!

How much did you pay the OP for it? Sorry - I mean AE don't I?

DanS1

I am the OP - not sure why I'm all of a sudden DanS1.

Not giving figures but it was a few hundred less than what I paid for it.

So - do you guys think I've done the right thing??

Not bad going you've lost £300-400 in 3 weeks.......good job you didn't keep it for a few months

DanS1

Thanks. My insurance would most likely have been cancelled to due to having to park here there and everywhere nearly every night and having a black box would have meant I'd have got caught. And once your insurance is cancelled its very difficult to get insurance elsewhere. As I say it was a lovely car and the family are disappointed but I had no choice. I was stuffed either way. I was good at driving but the stress of parking knocked my confidence. That's why I had to sell it.

If I'd kept it for a few months I'd have got even less and be more stressed with it!
