The Insurance Thread

[Madaz]

yeah i thought as much

[Fantm1]

This is their site steve http://www.wfi.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/internet/wfi/

My parent's are the ones who signed everything up for me when I was living with them a few years ago and when I got my own place I just transfered all the details of mine over.

Best bet is to call up and speak to someone as you'll get the best result that way.

I rang Wesfarmers and they are not interested unless you have a business going through them plus house insurance They said they will only do it in a package deal. They put me on to OAMPS( which is a company under them) who took all my particulars and car details and came back with a no can do, because of the type of car.

Mine is an R33 GTR and I'm 55.

me and my parents do not have a business with them at all.

my parents have a house and contents with them as well as a couple of cars.

i dont have a house with them but i do have contents and a car with them.

im only 22 and ive had a 2, s13's, an r32, a r33 with a forged 26 init and few other cars with them with all mods listed (most were non-adr approved) and one of my s13's were listed as a track car.

i dont know why they insured me over you though.

Maybe they've tightened up. They left the "can't Insure" message on my phone with a number to ring back. I'll ring back, but can't see the decision changing.

Just rang Wesfarmers again. Andrew Harris is on leave so his mobile went straight to reception. Spoke to the receptionist who checked with her superiors, and the story is, "we do not insure modified vehicles", sorry, but this guy must be pulling your leg. She even read the clauses from their policy guidelines. which included no mods to suspension, engines, wheels and further down the list was no track cars. Oh well consider yourself very lucky to be "in". Looks like I'll stay with Shannons at $850.00.

what a load of shit. ill see if i can find my old insurence forms listing my mods etc.

even had their guy come out to check my 32 over when i made a claim and everything was fine.

have other mates with them listing mods.

if they dont want to insure you thats their loss. must of tightened up or something but ill find out as ill be insuring another car with them soon with mods.

i think your all missing the point

its based around a PACKAGE so

building insurance

contents insurance

car insurance

once you tick those 3 boxes they may insure you (you MIGHT find)

[Global_Warmer]

I have read nearly every post in this thread. I got sick of reading about people bragging how old they are and what they drive. So now it's time for me to post.

I'm looking at purchasing an 1999 Autech Stagea 260RS. I'm 32 with a flawless driving record and 60% no claim bonus and I live in a country town with a lock up garage for the car.

I phoned Shannon's yesterday and they wont even give me any insurance. They reckon ya gotta be a member of a car club!? Just cars wanted $1700 with $600 excess. Or down to $1100 with a $1700 excess. Well... I would hate to see hoe much the bloody thing would cost me if I lived in Sydney with a terrible driving record.

"End of rant"

Totally with you mate, you would have seen my many rants about Shannons and their blatant inconsistency. Everyone i know has a different story with Shannons.

Take me and Krishy for example,

- same age

- 33 v 34

- same area, basically

- lock up garages

- both dont own a daily driver

- flawless driving histories

Shannons covers him, and they wont cover me.

that's the thing steve, i dont have those 3. in fact, when i signed my new lease with them, i only had 1 of them and that's it. and this is after i cancelled my agreement with them before i moved out and went with someone else to help lauren out till her insurence agreement ran out.

and they were saying they wouldnt consider him because of the car he has as well.

Easy fix, spend $50 and become a member of SAU-SA and then they'll insure ya

I suggested to Wesfarmers that I would be happy to do a bundle with them (House, contents and a couple of cars), but I kept getting told NO. Even a rating 1 for the last 9 years didn't help.

[Import S13]

ive got a new car fantm1 and will be calling up and insuring it with them.

ill see what they say :s

[bpv35]

just purchased a v35

comprehensive insurance..

rating 1

age: 18

$1600.00 p.a (roughly)

excess: $2900.00

does that sound expensive?

[Damo_R34]

not for an 18 yr old, no. Im surprised you got rating 1.

[Krishy]

which insurance company???

[typevu]

import + age + the premium and excess he quoted I would take a good darn guess and say it would be Just Car...

[Krishy]

just car's would not be stupid enough to be giving rating one to everyone.....specially being 18 its either your on your L's or just got your P's.....driving experience????

[bpv35]

just cars, 2 months till i get my fulls and with regards to my ratings, i may be wrong. let me double check.

[Damo_R34]

yeah im guessing an 18 year old on his P's driving a V35, youd be rating 5ish.
