No Tax or Insurance

[JonniP]

Possibly buying a car that has no tax and no mot.
is trailer the only way for me to get it home?

many thanks

 

[Aluco]

Depends how far it is from home

 

[JonniP]

i dont think i would get nabbed by cops more worried about camera traps..

 

[Tony Hunter]

If you get caught you will get shafted,what happens if you have a prang??

 

[Sash]

Seriously not worth it. Borrow a trailer or get the AA to take it to ur home.

 

[JonniP]

will the AA do it? i have AA cover with my bank account. maybe i can say my car is broke down and needs recovering to my house

 

[DamoWales]

Yeh AA will take it home for you, someone on here will advise you how to give it a problem that you can fix when you get back to yours!

 

[JonniP]

lol would hiding the ht lead count?

Trade plates....

I think your AA policy needs to have relay where you get your car recovered to your home or garage.

National recovery to a UK mainland destination of your choice (for you, your vehicle and up to 7 passengers), if we can't fix your car at the roadside or arrange a prompt local repair.

as per the AA website.

Im sure if u talk to the bloke he'll just take it home for you

Join the AA with roadside reley it will cost £60 but if ur buying a car with not tax or mot its gonna need the 13 call outs u can get. Just say its broken down and its all good thats how I picked up my 1st clio!

 

[Eliganza]

i'll tell them you broke down in my garage if you like haha

 

[JonniP]

i have already got relay. ill try that method

AA Relay all the way, i have the HPI 7day cover but still no tax/mot

[Eliganza]

fail of epic proportions

Whats happened?

 

[JonniP]

tried to disable car by hiding the immoboliser fob but the AA man still fixed it...moral of the story...dont get a max power alarm lol.

I'm going to get insurance today/tomorrow then ill book it for a MOT and take it down so will be all legit. Mr hunters comment knocked sense into me

 

[Tony Hunter]

You know its the right thing to do

 

[Eliganza]

just to warn you mate, the battery has probably died by now. id charge it for you but i dont have the key lol

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

You can just use AA as a recovery service can you not they dnt even need to look at your car? but glad its all sorted

Precisely what i meant but hey ho best to be legal no matter what!

 

[Jamesstone]

Just tell them the cambelt's snapped & them trying to turn it over any more could/will cause more damage... so tow me home!

 

[JonniP]

nah i think it was the distance they werent having none of it plus it was a very by the book guy. friendly but not someone who would do me a favour lol.
i did ask when i called and they said no they have to look at it first.

anyway good news is that i got my online quote... £973 from admiral not too bad tbh previous claim and 3 points for a SP30. Fully comp - me as policy holder, dad as named driver..i added my aunt on and the price is now £754! needless to say the car is now covered got it booked for MOT.

Sam...dead battery not a problem ill bring my powerstart.
cheers all
