Hi all, I've seen a VR4 on the bay of dreams and have had some correspondence with the owner, he seems like a knowledgable chap and the car sounds like a really nice example. His asking price is a little out of my budget but I'm hoping he is willing to move a little as I can't really stretch any further.
I am currently driving a 2.3 litre 2003 VW Golf V5, I say I am currently driving it, the missus passed her driving test about 6 months ago and has pretty much taken over it so the VR4 will be a second car and my daily driver (work commute is less than 10 miles round trip).
When trying to obtain an insurance quote the registration number is not recognised, and to further complicate matters the only two VR4 models in the drop down list when I select Mitsubishi, 2001 & Galant are both imports. The car is advertised as a UK model (not an import)! Tried ringing up my current insurer and again they can't find the reg no and also can't find a non import VR4 on their system.
Best quote I could get (after selecting the VR4 import option) was around the £750 mark (I'm 29), was wondering if anyone could reccommend any insurers to try and get a better quote from / advise why there isn't a UK VR4 in the drop down list?
If I can sort out the insurance and the guy is willing to move on his asking price I will go up for a viewing, I'll check the FAQ's on here for the main things to look out for.
Fingers crossed it all goes well and I hope to get involved on here more regularly!
Kind regards
Paul
