Insurance

[Muz]

Hi Fellas and Femmes,

This is my first post on this forum and all I seek is the knowledge of who does the right deal for insurance in this great state. I am just about to take the dip and purchase an R34 GTT so I'm gonna need something to keep me covered. I'm an OTH (over the hill - over 30) convert to Skylines - been a Vtec man for quite a while now and it just feels the right time to do it. I have a lifetime rating 1 at present and live in area of relatively little car theft. Has anyone got any ideas on who to use.

Cheers

[chaos]

[Spook's_Skyline]

id go with suncorp if u are over 25;

they were the cheapest by far that i found!

[Muz]

So far the best I have got is $882.00 (excess $750 and nominated drivers only). Does that compare with Suncorp? That was from Shannons btw.

Try Famous Car Insurace (theres a thread in general discussion, i think its a "sticky" thread)

They sponsor the NSW branch of the club.

For my R31 non turbo thats worth 7k MAXIMUM the best quote I can get is 1200 with about 1k excess. Being old has its benefits!

Welcome to the fray Muz.

$882??? that fully comprehesive? My third party property is nearly that much!

[giz01]

CGU! $672 on 97 200sx with youngest driver 29/12/80!

[slip]

cgu wont touch me - mods.

[giz01]

We have mods: 3" exhaust & filter!

[Muz]

Yep $882.oo was full Comprehensive including a windscreen a year. Is the 97 200 SX imported or a locally (Nissan) sold car. Which makes me think ...... Has anyone ever tried to explain to an insurance company that a huge percentage of cars available in Oz are actually fully imported and why should there be a premium placed on Skylines or do Supras' and other suffer the same closed mind mentality. Just wondering...

[giz01]

aus delivered! no free windscreen! But if nissan oz bring in car they also bring in all the spare parts & thats what insurance companies would be probably thinking!

[qikr33]

that is very cheap.Shanons said that they were after older cars to me.Anyway i am 25 rating 1 and am paying $118 a month with suncorp so that means $1416 full comprehensive with suncorp.Car has 3" xhaust,18"wheels and one nasty ****er behind the wheel

[giz01]

I'm rating 1 & 27yo but gf is rating 2 & 24yo. IMO Suncorp are thieves they charge you more if you want to pay monthly something CGU do not, plus because its thru Wesfarmers Dalgety, Wesfarmers pay my insurance for me then invoice me for it so i Can't forget to pay it, plus the extra 30days you get to pay for it!

These people genuinely show you they want your business by actually looking after you.

I'm with Suncorp, which was one of about 3 I could find that would touch an inport with mods. Premium is sub $700 (can't remember the exact figure) for full comp, and have mags, exhaust, suspension and stereo all listed on the policy. No one else came close to that for rating 1 over 25 when I was looking in late Jan this year.

[Muz]

That's very interesting. I immediately jumped on the phone to Suncorp and the very best they will do for me on an R34GTT is $1380.00. I am well on the wrong side of 30 (better make that 40), no accidents in the last 20 years, one claim in my total driving history (no fault), no speeding offences in the last 10 years and no mods on the car (yet). So your sub $700 is an extremely good price. Good luck with them.

[Guest Pearman]

Muz, who did you go with? I tried quotes for an R34GTT about 3months ago. Couldn't get anywhere near the $700 that these guys talk about. Approx $1300 was about what I got quoted. ?Unfortunately I didn't end up with the car!!!! I'll be looking for an R34 again in a few months!

[Muz]

Pearman,

I just signed up with Shannons for $803.65 which was the very best I could get. No mods as yet but they tell me if I mod it with an exhaust system and FMIC it jump to over $1000.00 so I would really like to know who these guys are talking to at Suncorp so I can get in on the action.

[jlnewton]

I am with Suncorp, they were the cheapest I could find and I am up near the $1300 per year with no mods listed on the policy yet. When I re-register the mini it will be going with shannons and then I can insure the skyline with them. Last time I spoke with them they only did older cars but said they would do another newer car if you had an older car insured with them already. Have they changed their policy since I spoke with them last?
