Probably because it doesn't have an alarm (sorry couldn't resist)

Thanks to this forum I just did that! My existing insurer LV who cover my T6 VW Kombi, max no claims, quoted an additional £1200 on top of the £515 I'm already paying them, needless to say I told them to do one!
Anyway, Howden, although not what I call cheap, came in at half that, can't use my no claims bonus as it's on the van so this is looking like the best I'm going to get.

It was through LV and quite a bit cheaper than my renewal from Aviva.

Pretty shambolic organisation fromToyota today.. I had a call from the sales manager at my dealer and collection agreed for tomorrow at 11:30
He asked if I’d paid for the car and done the Toyota paperwork .. I told him I’d paid but I was waiting for Toyota to send me the relevant online paperwork..
Come 5:30 this evening I get a missed call from Toyota so call them back.. the switchboard tell me they close at 4
Around 6:30 I get an email from Toyota telling me that my car is now ready, registered and taxed and I have a slot to collect at 1:30 tomorrow with a totally different salesman..
The communication (for me) has been piss poor and riddled with contradictions..
I’m still shocked that I was asked to pay for a car in full that I’ve not even seen and therefore it’s not so surprising that alarm bells were ringing at my bank..
On top of this, the car doesn’t seem to exist on the DVLA system or on my insurers website so I assume (hope) that the car will become visible tomorrow once I’ve accepted it
God help them if they send me a satisfaction questionnaire to fill in..

Hope the collection goes OK @Bluemanc100 .
The DVLA/database thing was the same for me, it didn't show until the day of collection.
I hope to see a seamless, joyous collection and first day with your car tomorrow...

You'll be fine and all will be forgotten once your backside is firmly ensconced in the seat.

Outstanding.
I genuinely cannot tell if you've (superbly) mocked this up yourself, or it's a real product.
If the former - top work. If it's the latter - well let's just say it's a niche item!
