Some of you may have read my post regarding my insurance issues! This was a total bummer!! That being said I talked to my current insurer(Aviva) and if I kept my spec under £100k they would insure me,
And for only £70 a year more then what I currently pay for my current Cayenne S.
My previous spec came out to £108k so I had to at least shave off a bit over £8000... not an easy task as I had so many things o was really set on. The last few days I really weighed on the things I really wanted/needed.
Pano roof, rear wheel steering, surround camera, Bose, 4+1, lane change assist and surround camera were all a must.
My initial spec had full leather, 4 zone climate, adaptive cruise control(which I currently have and use in traffic sometimes, and was one of my biggest “sacrifices”) also specced privacy glass and insulated glass(which I took of now, and will get privacy glass done after pick up for much less)
I also (as seen in one of my previous posts) decided on 20 inch wheels, and decided on the turbo aero S. I kept going back to my original choice the 21 cross Turismo wheels and lusting over them. For me personally,
I find them to be some of the best looking OEM wheels on sale today, by any brand, they really complete the look of the CT in my opinion. So I decided to sacrifice ACC in Favor of the wheels, I think I can leave without ACC, but those wheels will haunt me forever(yes I know I can buy the wheels after, for probably around 6k, but I know I won’t.
So yeah..... this was torture, and I’ve never been in this weird position where I can afford the car exactly how I want it, but the insurance is pretty much c@ck blocking me(excuse my French) is what it is, and these are good problems to have I guess, first world problems even! Hahahah
Well after this long rant.... this is what I came up with .... it was long and painful to get here....
