Ford Streetka and all smallish soft tops. Now considering Chevrolet or Suzuki,instead of Nissan

Maybe it's had some hard days and nights?

It needs some Help! It looks like its been dumped in a Norwegian Wood. The dealer must be a real Nowhere Man to sell a car in that state. All My Loving couldn't make that car look good again. Fortunately I'm Free as a Bird to look at other cars with a Girl called Eleanor Rigby, who'll be sure to Please Please Me. If the dealer didn't do me a deal I'd Twist and Shout as I walked away across Strawberry Fields.

I've just checked it - turns out it's a Ringo-er, sadly. Best leave it at the back of the drive to clatter away.

Is your daughter going to pay for her own insurance?

She might change her mind about a soft top...

What she'd save on not buying car would go towards her insurance.

As a new driver her premiums will already be expensive, adding a cabriolet would be like lobbing a can of petrol into a fire.

Maybe i could tell them that when/if she drives it i wont let her put the top down?

That should do the trick.

That won't make a difference. Another factor - where are you parking it?

On the homes private car park.

On the homes private car park.

Is it secure?

This place is like Colditz Castle and San Quentin combined, so i'd say yes it is.

If it's a proper garage with controlled access, CCTV etc then I agree. If it's just a parking lot then leaving a car you can open with a pair of scissors is going to be £££ to insure.

It doesn't have all that, but it's overlooked by plenty of nosey gits. Mind you,if someone was breaking into a car they'd most likely ignore the crime,but report to the warden the following morning,moaning that the break in woke them up.

For an insurer that means unsecured.

So, a new driver, a car with a tent for a roof, unsecured parking... That is going to be pricey.

Don't buy a cabriolet, just roll the windows down.
