Where can I find insurance for my import?

[mkc_1971]

try suncorp they were the cheapest for me

[mikep]

I've been looking at insurance in the last week and have some things to add..

Shannons were happy to insure my R33 GTS-T, however the guy flat out said they are not competative in that segment, and quietly suggested I try Torque or Unique. When I mentioned JustCars he said stay away, they have hidden excess's. Not sure what he meant by that, but looking at Justcars policy under the EXCESS heading they list "additional". Also, you dont get to choose your repairer, you can get a quote from them but Justcar will also ask you to take it to one of their nominated repairers for a quote, and cheapest quote wins... You also don't get a free windscreen replacement, you pay your excess and they will leave your rating alone.

For all that, Justcar would cost me $1,188 and $1,150 excess. Payments can only be yearly. 3 year guarantee on repairs./

Famous Classic Car quoted me $1,100 and $1,000 excess. That includes my choice of repairer, one free windscreen per year, agreed or market value, personal items (limits apply), hire car after theft.

So far it seems that Famous offer a better deal and at slightly cheaper rates, and they let you pay monthy, six monthly or yearly. The only thing i couldnt see in their policy was how long they guarantee the repairs for. I'll be ringing them about that.

ps. i'm 34 and currently rating 2.

no chance mate. assuming a 21yo, in sydney, with 20%NCB you will be paying anywhere from $3500 to nearly $5000 per annum. not a chance a 21yo could insure an R32GTR in sydney for $2K. if so please tell me where and I'll insure mine with them too.

Fair enuf, I took a stab based on scaling up some what it cost for a modified GTST, but i didn't look at the location. I remember Sydney being something like 20% more than Melb.

I rang Shannons and they wouldnt insure my car ( 97 Skyline GTR ). I rang every insurance company that i could think of and they would insure it either because it was an import or a twin turbo. Then i rang suncorp and guess what rating 1 for $1400. I couldnt beleive the specialist companies wouldnt touch me.

[CORBSTR-32]

I can only speak for Victoria but Shannons have been looking after most of the GTCC Members for the last year or so.......

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

GTCC = ???

im 19 and currently looking to buy a 32 gts-t (my first car *yay*), i have been quoted from just cars $2022 full comp, no accident history blah blah bla. im under the impression this isnt to bad considerring when i was 18 it was like $3000 a yr, but there is still a $1100 - $1800 excess deppending on mods

i havent really tried to get quotes from Shannons or famous or neone else because thy require u to prvide a chasis no. and so on, n since i havennt got the car yet i cant really give them a chasis no.

newayz so i jst wanted to kno how much it would b wit Shannons or famous or suncorp or neone else u guys can think of.

aslo if being an actual member of SAU Vic means u have a better chance of being insured wit Shannons??? and wat else can one do in order of having a better chance with the insurance companies such as shannons?

(Torque or Unique - never heard of em)

neways thats about all for now lol

[azn_r33]

Hey Guys

im with Just Cars - i paid $1288.00 with $1500.00 excess fee. i have a few mods that bring my car into the 13 secs and im only20. How goods that!!!!!

[FOG35]

Im 18 and Just Car are the only company that would ensure my R32 GTS-T. I have a premium of $2100 with some slight mods. inc fmic, air intake, coilovers, exhaust, gtr kit (live in brisbane). I think i got a very good price.

There is actually a very big chance as i just turned 18 yesterday and rang Just Cars for insurance on a R32 GTR 1994 that im getting next week and they quoted me only $3756 but $2000 excess with 30% NCB, when i was 17 it would of been $4300 with 20% NCB.. so i believe that he pays 2k for it, plus im in sydney aswell Ahhhhh i'm soooo excited!!!!!!!

Sydney - Hurstville - 29 yold

Elders Motor Insurance (lumley) (through broker in Nth Ryde)

Comprehensive $1361 Prem, $600 Excess

[The Baron]

Have been looking around a bit.

For a modified 93 R-32 GT-R it's $1300 fully comprehensive at Shannon's vs $1850 at JustCar

That's for a 36 year old Rating 1.

[MearCat]

Do Suncorp do insurance in WA?

[fsmout]

hey everyone, i have a moded R32 GTR, and i just got comp insurance from justcars with, exhaust, cage, turbo suspension etc for $1300pa. Excess for an accident is $2100 & if stolen, $1800.

im pretty happy since a year ago it was $2900!!

im 23 rating 2.

cheers

[Beer Baron]

that is pretty good. what state/suburb?

[Fixxxer]

I went through JustCars cause I had my old car insured through them. If I remember correctly it was around $910 for full comprehensive for my 32 GTST with a number of mods. Intake, Ex, FMIC, boost controller, 18" mags, lowered, etc.

Also got a great agreed value for the car. Tip for people (since I know people in the insurance business) - If you ask for an agreed value (or they tell you what is will be insured for) tell them that you're aware most insurance places offer +5% over market value if the vehicle is in good condition. I told the girl that over the phone, and also offered to have the vehicle inspected. The original $14,000 value was upped to $16,000 after she "talked to support". They also insured my 18" wheels, which I never thought they did at JustCars, nice I think the excess is around $1100, just because there is a non-removeable excess on the car of $700 or something.

Hi guys,

don't forget that Famous insurance is an off shore insurance company that are not bound by Australian insure laws. Plus they don't cover your car if you park it outside your house. Very dodgy.

[MspecR33]

20 years of age

$1,400 per year, inclused for zorst, pod bov, shokies, lowered, and they don't care what else i do to it, car insured for $25,000

Just Car Insurance in WA seems one of the cheapest

just wondering if they charge diiferent amounts in diferent states

[kgangulw]

Hi,

I'm buying a R33 soon and i'm looking at getting comprehensive insurance on it. but most sites i go to does not have skylines listed so i'm assuming they don't insure these. can anyone point me in the right direction, and an insurer who's affordable. there was one company which qouted me $5000 .

thanks
