Just been reading about JLR new futuristic signature site in Sunbury on Thames.Room fo 400 cars with Bodyshop upstairs and cinema wall feature.It must be costing millions and communicating with them will probably only be by email and text. I think Nick should send all his XF punters there for a free health check.....can you imagine.

It will be a NO on that one for sure , Be three weeks down the road too before you hear anything so get holding your breathe , then your just three weeks later doing anything about it . Assured reports are just pure extortion money , just times x 25,000 cars by the charge and see where the money involved is , its why they wont stop it .

Speak to magnitude brokers

Love this example for running a business during Covid We are looking for 6 bucket seats for the track cars , estimated cost around £3-4,000 for the lot so not a bad order really is it . Phones this place in Notts to see if we can go out look and collect . Response was amazing , " oh you cant just come I'll send you a text with the information we need " text arrives . we need you to fill in the deceleration of health saying you haven't got coughs , temperature or feeling unwell etc . Prove we have a mask . Use the gloves provided and handwash on arrival omg . Then we only see people at 11am and 2 pm and only one person can come in at a time for 30 mins So I rang back and said I have £4,000 with your name on it , only time I can get is 5pm are you sure you don't want the money . Answer was . There wont be anyone here at 5 pm as we close at 5pm you have the rules so please abide by them or spend your money elsewhere ASTONISHING Be one of those firms in 6 months time that's blaming Covid for putting them out of business .

Thank you very much for your kind words @G Dog it was my pleasure to arrange your motor trade insurance and it is great to hear you are happy with everything. Ashley Stevenson UKGlobal Insurance

good post

I actually found one of Jem Emirali's original posts. Here it is in full including his email if you need to get in touch: MID - The only vehicles that should be on your MID are vehicles that are taxed and your trade plates. Any vehicles in stock that are untaxed will be driven on trade plates and should not be on the MID. You are massively exposing yourself by adding them to the MID as even if the car is taken off once sold, if the purchaser does not insure the car properly and has a claim, the last known insurer may be forced to pay. Trust me when I say, you do not want a call from your broker saying your premium has gone up this year due to an accident that was nothing to do with you. Unaccompanied Demonstration - This is another area brokers seem to be getting wrong. The only way that you can let a vehicle go out on an unaccompanied test drive is if it is taxed. You cannot lend out trade plates to customers and a customer obviously cannot take an untaxed car out on the road. The majority of our dealers with unaccompanied demonstration now are main dealers with taxed demonstrators. Hopefully this help some of you out there but if you would like to discuss further, please email me on jememirali@astonscott.com

Because there is no requirement for you to but if you add them and sell a car and it has an accident without having valid insurance they will check MID and go to YOUR insurer with the claim as you will be the last party to have "insured interest" in that vehicle. This advice comes directly from my broker Jem from Aston Lark and he knows his stuff.

Jem Emirali at Aston Lark is also fantastic and knowledgeable and well worth askking.
