Hey,

In General section there have been many threads on this issue.

Please use search function next time :D

btw - everyone is different. what you pay, what the next person pays is different. No one will pay the same so there really is no point asking what others pay.

Age, driving experience, claims history, fines/loss of licences, garaging location, usage, no claims bonus, EVERYTHING is different :D

edit - just saw your in Bankstown....there is half your answer!

What's your driving history like? I must admit, normally, if it is modified, and you're under 25, it's your only choice...

and you should have done insurance already man, I know you have the car, I don't want to see it being another one of those "My car got stolen" threads :D

Also, listen to Mr Weevil, I see him reading, he knows his insurance :D

Hey guys.

Just did a quote on JUSTCAR and got $4711 for comprehensive!!

For gods sake what the hell !!

How much does your's cost and where from!

MRXTCZ

How old are you? any accident history?

I'm 21, no accidents (except when I hit a 'roo, which they don't count as my fault) and with Shannons. They were about $1100 for full comp, with a $900 excess... that's on my stockish R33 in Melbourne, covered for $12,000. Just Cars were gonna about $1500/year... When I got the 'line I had just turned 19 and it was around $1900/yr, with a $1800 excess... but at the time I figured Shannons wouldn't touch me (age) and didn't even try. This year when my insurance came around a mate recommended me to give them a go, and they were fantastic!

...and your in Vic...much cheaper there....as I said...

When i moved up to Sydney from Melbourne (3 years ago), i was shocked at the insurance costs up here. I had a 2003 Integra Type R.

Insurance in melbourne was $500. When i moved to sydney (wiley park, which is even worse than bankstown) >$4000. When they gave me the quote, I nearly had a heart attack.

So i told them thanks but no thanks, got married, sold the car and had kids. hahaha.

edit: now for some actually helpful info, i was quoted about $2200 for comp insur through just car, and slightly higher for shannons (shannons wants a longer driving history - 4 years as opposed to just cars 3 years)). If you've got suspensions in your history, expect to get charged a big premium

Best insurance company is famous for imports.

LOL, You could take that a few ways, and i did :D Here's a tip

The company is not called 'Best Insurance', famous for its import insurance

It wasn't a statement that the best insurance company is famously known for imports.

The company is CALLED 'famous'.

I'm not slow, ok?

currently with Just cars 3rd party fire and theft only. $600 something

changing to Shannon's in November $1376 a year for $12000. excess wasn't much.

with Shannon's i was told the car needs to be in a lock up garage when at home address

and because my bad driving history was more then 5yrs ago im all sweet.So nothing

to worry about or no extra charges.

Oh yeh and thats on a partially driven car rate.

i was told to add 6-700 ontop if it was a daily driver.

im 25 on full license and located at Doonside.

Goodluck with it,atleast get 3rd party.

+ a Thumbs up to the dude at Shannon's. :D

i'm sorry mate but this whole excercise is pointless. even if everyone post up how much they pay it doesn't help you one bit, unless you live in the same house as them, are the same sex, the same age, put your car in the same garage, drive the same number of kms, have the same model of car, with the same modifications, the same alarm and have the exact same driving history. unless you can say yes to all those things then your quote will most likely be different.

just shop around, call as many companies as you can. and be honest about your driving history and your circumstances.

Im just going to add dont use famous.. Go GIO car insurance you can use the car however you wish as long as your not under the influence or doing anything illegal and your covered.

Most other policies only cover you 1 day a week, only parked in particular areas, no street parking etc. Read the whole policy before you take it out and as for a faxed copy of the transcript when you take out the policy and ask heaps of questons.

That's most insurance companies..

thats it :D

eg: you say to your insurance company you drive 1 days a week, garaged at a certain location etc etc, you sleep over your girlfriends house and have no choice but to park on the street, car gets stolen and you go to make a claim, your insurance company wont pay you out :thumbsup:

? what do you mean? Most companies dont cover you for daily use? Didnt I just say that? Thats why I suggested GIO.

Sorry, I was too lazy to make a proper reply. Most insurance companies will tell you they won't insure you overnight unless you are 500m or more away from the garage location. They won't cover you if you don't have a proper alarm etc.. and they definatly won't cover you if you are under the influence of alcohol and drugs or breaking any laws. It covers there arse.

I have been quoted through GIO but they wouldn't cover me for more then 9k but there policy was the cheapest ($1200) or something like that. Famous have done the best deal besides Shannons and I can't change to Shannons at the moment as we have a communal garage.. and they know my every move *hides*

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
