Hi, after a lot of thought I think it would be a lot easier on my wallet if I swapped my Audi A3 8P 2.0 TDI 140 sport in for an S3 8L, as money I would get my way would take off a year of payments and not to mention the interest on the loan I got for the 8P.
So, my first protocol was to ring my insurance company and see what the insurance was like to swap over, baring in mind it runs out in April, however they where unable to provide a quote on the car, nothing personal to me, just wouldn't insure the car?
So, I was recommended Adrian Flux by a friend who is the same age as me with one less NCB who owns an Audi TT 225 Quattro, so surely they could provide me with a quote, atlas no avail they where also unavailable to provide a quote.
This still hasn't stopped me looking at S3's as I still want one, just gives me time to revert my A3 to standard by April where I will have 3 years NCB and I will be 22 and hopefully get a quote, but i run the risk of the same thing happening and having a stock A3 that I would have to keep.
Has anyone experienced this? Insurance companies not insuring the S3? Or am i punching above my belt with looking for an S3 as my next car? Any advice and opinions would be great to help me out as to what do I do, keep the A3? Or put myself out there and get an S3? Baring in mind my annual mileage is about 7000 miles so I don't need a diesel any more.
Thanks, Chris.
