I can see where you are coming from but what about the normal layman whom buys a car and as know idea what the standard wheels are/ were. And i bet if you phoned your insurance and said i have just put some old scabed up wheels no my cars so thieves would not want them ect, can you now give me a discount answer NO

its all one big con they know it so do we

I am not promoting the fact that they do this, and really cannot see the point... But to be fair I have declared things in the past and it has not changed my premium, Most notably a Richa Remap on my old 850 T5.. I was amazed when they put no increase on the premium, even though it took it form 240Hp to around 320Hp!!!!!!! lol

How did the sale go? Any luck with auto trader or piston heads Chris?
Or have you changed your mind?

I wish you all of best Chris. It is possible to make a profit in that business. Last year, I did up our family home in the UK and it was sold well above market value, so it is possible. It would be a bonus if you could hang onto your Rover in the meantime

a quick update to the sale of my car .... went in to have a chat with the guys at the garage i used to train at , when i went to leave a guy was looking all over the car .i spoke to him about the car and showed him all the extra`s he sat in in and said he would love one of these ,i told him mine was up for sale .he asked how much i said make me an offer ... he said 2800

so having a think and chat with the other half tonight then he is gonna phone me tonight to see if its a goer or not ,so by stuicking it out i have got almost what i wanted for the car .... so a lesson there to all 75 owners dont rush to sell and dont sell too cheaply ... i know my car is a 100% good car so why would i want to rush to get rid of it .... am now looking to stay with rover in a 600 series as to me they was by far the best car rover made bar the 75 .... i see i just missed one in the for sal section but i think it would of been a bit too far to go ..was a fair priceto for the full leathered interior ....

Don't count your chickens... Talking it over with the other half is code for " I'm going to see if I can get a similar car cheaper" Trust me... I'm a car salesman
