I am 20 living in a good suburb in Brissy. I am buying a 1988 GTS-X that has been imported and insured for years. I knew i wasn't going to have fun as soon as people say "there's no such thing as a GTS-x"
I am a member of a car club and CAMS and i have been insured for my Silhouette and Falcon (both sold now) for over 3 years without a claim, or even a speeding fine.
Shannons gave me the arse in a second because i was under 25. So rude.
RACQ didn't want to know me because i said yes to their 3 biggest doo-doos
1) its an import
2) its a turbo
3) its been modified (an intercooler you say? ooh thats bad!)
So that leaves me no option but to go 3rd party with JCI. Havent got a quote back from them yet, but i'm not looking forward to it. I'm tipping it'll be about $1000 premium just for 3rd party.
Still, that's better than the $5,000,000,000,000 they wanted at rip-off young and cool. As soon as i saw that name i new i was screwed.
anyway, as usual it seems that having an interest in a car that the dead-heads never brought to Australia is as good as a criminal offence.
Apart from JCI, anyone got any suggestions for me? I am only going to go 3rd party, or 3rd party fire and theft at the most and i would be happy to be a nominated driver if dad could insure it under his name...
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
