Ah, there's the issue, your age. Car insurance starts to increases exponentially once over 80. My father in law had the same issue a few years back.£2,000. For demonstration car 250Bhp.
My MG4 EV Trophy 1small accident I pay £1350.
I’m 83 I reside in Bexley Kent
If I was currently looking, I'd have got out and dusted off my 12ft bargepole at "resprayed and patched up!!!" Seriously, RUN!!, There's others out there with only a couple of hundred miles on them for a couple of grand more (pre haggle!)Got a test drive on the yellow GT today. Theres some interest as its the cheapest going. Apparently theyve resprayed the stone chips and patched it up. Yellow is not easy to look at up close. Im hesitant but the price seems ok. Just that miles are high for a demo.
Realistically as its yellow i think it will hold value better than other colors. Either way could be a 6k depreciation over next year.

Could be £6k depreciation over the next year?!, it'll be a miracle if it's that little...
Not for me, On a car costing £50k and only a few months old, I'm not having any sort of touching up at all. This one's probably a better prospect, only £1.5k more (pre haggle) and less than a 10th of the miles.Depends how good it's been done. And how cheap it is. Very much doubt the advert said "resprayed and patched up"
If it did then Defo do a Runner.
Agree, with the 6k depreciation, though, could be more than that. Time will tell.

I test drove it. It drives nice. Launched it... ridiculous. I had a look didn't see any stone chips. Car wasnt clean though. Seats need shampooing. Too many drivers i think.If I was currently looking, I'd have got out and dusted off my 12ft bargepole at "resprayed and patched up!!!"

Nah but the sales guy did say as a demo it would pick up a few chips which i couldn't see. They would clean it up and spray it of need be. The car not being clean didnt help. There was a sold red trophy and a cream one in the showroom.Depends how good it's been done. And how cheap it is. Very much doubt the advert said "resprayed and patched up"
