Insurance for cars during selling

[Gucci]

I'm looking at some V50's at the weekend and one in particular may have my name on it. However, I need to sell the ML, ideally I'd walk in with the cash. I refuse to part exchange, so the likely scenario is I buy the V50 and THEN sell the ML. This would mean insuring 2 cars, but of course I may only have that second car for a few weeks.

Obviously I don't want two 12 month policies running. What reckon? I'm currently with Admiral - would their two car policy be any benefit for this short term measure?

Call Admiral and ask if they'll cover a second car on the same policy for short term only.

Directline have done this for me several times - the allow up to three months in a calendar year (not all current) - or at least they did last time I did it. There was an admin fee of £30 IIRC, but not an additional premium because the second car was not a higher risk than the main car on the policy.

Insurance during selling

I also have done this with my previous insurace company (Direct line)
i got them to cover my additional car for one month
for a nominal amount as it was a similar group rating. .

I'm in this situation at the moment. I've just bought a 2007 E320 CDi, and currently still have my 2003 E320 CDi, which I'm selling. My insurance company is letting me insure my 2003 on a temporary basis for £30 a week.

A temporary additional vehicle on an existing policy (when this is allowed) will usually be cheaper than a separate temporary vehicle policy.
