Mk 7.5 is on order, likely to arrive mid July.
I started getting insurance quotes, the renewal on my current car is mid August so my plan was to flip the insurance onto the new plate for a month then start afresh. This would incur a £30 charge on the policy, which I was prepared to accept. However Kwik Fit have gone bust, they are no longer accepting new policies or any changes to current policies. They want £50 to cancel (this is the agreed cancellation fee) so I can go to a new insurer as they won't insure me on the golf.
This leaves me in a bit of a corner really. Kwik fit gave me two options 1) Cancel for £50 and get proof of no claims to take elsewhere. 2) let the policy run at which point they will provide proof of no claims at the end of the policy.
They have a 'sister' company which is taking former customers, there is no fee to move to this company and they will waive any fee's. However the quote is £680 versus £216 I can get at various other places.
Seems to me I have no option but to pay the cancellation fee...
Any help, thoughts, opinions would be appreciated.
