Hmm well it may interst you guys, but i have a series 2 in qld outer brisbane suburbs, im 18 and legally not allowed to be driving the car. However justcars have coverd me for $18000 with full comp insurance for $1160 a year;

$1200 excess however

yea im from Mt Gambier South east SA i have a bad driving history SGIC done a Quote 1800 year with a around 2000 claim but justcars done 1200 with a i think it was aoout 1200 claim thats for a S2 stagea 12k with stereo and rims at 3k. bugger all would touch me when i said what kind of car it was.

my latest renewal with justcar came in at about $850 a year with a $400 excess. i could have gotten a lower premium but at a much higher excess. 25 y/o with a licence suspension in the last 5 years and about 15km from Brisbane CBD.

Thanks mate. Worked a treat.

Shannons = 1290 with a 500 excess in southern Sydney. ~20k agreed value.

Over 30 drivers with a minor bingle and a speeding ticket in the last 5 years.

Cheaper than Just Cars.

Just Car wanted ~ $1500

have pretty much sorted through work (corpoorate rates) for ~ $1200

just cars was $1100 for me. and i will get a refund in a few weeks when i hit 25.

and the excess will drop substantially! (i think it was cos i was with AAMI beforehand i got better rate)

only thing just cars wont insure is my carbon fibre hood. :P:( :(

but the full body kit YES. (suckers... my Dolphin kit would be FKN expensive to replace)

i might suss out shannons aswell! since i'll be 25.

Famous did me for $1100, $500 excess Northern Beaches of Sydney at $35k sum insured. . . . That was for M35 AXIS with all the option fitted such at twin sunroofs and Bose stezza

FYI

Im now with SGIC, for around $460 for the year, market value whatever that may be

2000 claim excess tho - but mind you i dont plan on making a claim so for now should be ok

Yeah I'm a big fan of higher excesses for lower premiums, as I have never claimed in over 15 years and reckon its worth the lower premium . . and of course I would only claim if the damage was major or worth more than the excess.

Too many people get hung up about the excess. . it's not like you claim everyday

100% agree. Although it really does come down to how you prefer to manage risk.

In my case, I'm with Just Car - ~$800 a year with $1200 excess. I'm 28 and my wife is 25. I've been with Just Car for around 4 years all up (including 2 other imported, turbo nissans) so my lower premium has saved me more than my excess. I realise I may just be lucky so obviously dont base your decision on my example :P

I'm pretty happy with Just Car's policies. Personally I've found them to be the least restrictive insurer of the whole lot. No questions about where I'm allowed to drive and where I'm allowed to park. Other insurers had a hernia when I mentioned that one day I could potentially park on the street (gasp - oh no, not the street). You gotta wonder what world some of them live in...

Shannons wouldn't insure my car because I didn't park inside fort knox (nah just kidding, you have to have a bricked-in lockable garage and I only had a carport - with a rollerdoor - I probably could've argued the point and got through but I gave up). I was considered to be a "motoring enthusiast" however (yay :( ). From all accounts I've heard they are a quality insurer though, which is a very good reputation to have.

Oh, just got my renewal from LSV. Was very happy with them before ($20k, 786 premium, moderate eccess), got the renewal - $15k value, $1256 premium, $750 excess. Rang them, have a good conversation, basically they are changing directions and not interested much in insuring us anymore.

Oh well, time to shop around.

Well, rang Shannons. Coz my Stag is not my daily drive, I got away with $517. For daily drive it would be just under $700. Excess $500, no claim bonus protection.

I had a policey with them before, my Honda Legend(*sigh*).. was insured with them.

Holy shit.

I just got a price for the stag if I add another driver, a 19 year old female to the insurance.

Went from $1400 or whatever to $3500 or so... She did have one minor bingle early this year - I suspect that drove the price up. The premium drops to $2400 if I have a $1700 excess instead of $600. So assuming I didn't claim in the first year then I'd come out ahead with the $1700 excess. She turns 20 in 3 months though so I thought I might wait till then.

i think all the insurance companies have jacked up there premiums. i also just got my renewal through justcar, up to $1150 a year from $850. i'm 26 and no listed drivers under 25, the only way i can get it back down is buy having a ridiculous excess. the missus got hers though a month ago, up to $700 from $500 for a stock 05 swift. she turned 25 a few months ago so we were expecting a cheeper premium, didn't get one :mad:

out of interest, was yours much of an increase on last years premium?

    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
