Do you have to tell your insurance about a write off

[BillyJ]

So I've found a Bandit in what seems to be good nick but after a brilliant value textcheck it says that is may be a CAT D bike but due to a plate change further investigation is required?

So firstly I know CAT D is no biggie, and he's been riding it for a while but he didn't mention it. So I did

But do i need to tell an insurance company that the vehicle i wish to insure was at some point a CAT D vehicle and if so, do they care?

Never have, they'll find out when it comes to paying out time.

Not much?

Depends entirely on the condition, however.

Broken indicator is probably the CAT D

I meant condition of the rest of the bike, more - rust, bearings, what the engine sounds like and so on.

In the end, while not silly miles, it's an old-tech, heavy and slow commuter bike.

I'm going to see it on Sunday, I saw a video he made like 2 hours ago of it starting and running, sounds good across the rev range, no obvious horrific sounds. I expect rust on the downpipes but I've got it down to £1050 delivered 20 minutes to my house?

Is that about right, but he didn't mention it so i might be able to push it a but lower, he was asking 1150 initially.

Haha, Oh yh it does have that. He didn't know and just called up the previous owner

Oh well, I said I might wanna push down the price a tiny bit and he said he's got a limit but we can talk price on Sunday, not bad then.

Perhaps I should sweeten the deal... dick pics?

£1000 flat or no deal delivered. With fuel.

A bandit will keep you busy and the power will keep you entertained for a bit, especially coming from a 250.

[BillyJ]

[P.addy]

Push it, check chain and sprockets, umm and ahh about it, check tread depth on tyres, thickness of pads.

[BillyJ]

[P.addy]

Nothing, say nothing unless they ask.

[Shinigami]

definitely check tyre tread depth, as new set of tyres will cost you, depending on choice, upto £200 ish

so if tyres are knackered, get them to drop it more, same for chain and sprocket wear

A quick note. I have in the past invited a potential buyer to (politely) do one, because he kept pushing and pushing. The bike sold later that night to a much nicer chap who understood that he was getting a bargain even at the full asking price. In return he got it cheerfully delivered, serviced unasked for, with a decent set of panniers thrown in gratis, and I even slipped a tenner in the Haynes to cover an issue that I noticed while prepping it.

Good things happen to people who make selling a pleasure rather than a chore, is the nub of my gist.
