I think choice of repairer is very important, especially for Skylines. I don't think Just Car have this?

Have you asked Just Cars yet?

Doesn't hurt to ask or just call Shannons again and ask to speak to someone in a higher position to help you out.

A few ppl did that in a last Insurance Thread a while back.

I'm with JC and I have choice of repairer.

Infact I just made a claim with my full comprehensive insurance. I need to get 2 quotes, one of which from a Just Cars repairer, the other from whoever I want. The work can be carried out by my choice of Panel Beater.

Anyone with Shannons and doens't have there car in a garage?

I just got knocked back - mine is in a carport at the rear of an apartment block (not visible from the street). Wondering if I should try and ring again?

I have 3 cars that can't fit into a 2 car garage unless I get the Smarts

I told Shannons (with my 2-car policy) that my Honda & Nissan are garaged - and they are most of the time.

But they can't hold it against me or any policyholder if the car is simply parked out the front for a while eh?

My Honda was parked indoors yesterday - but my wife's BM is in there to-day.

imo there over priced.

just cars, cheaper and pretty much offer the same services.

That's weird, Shannons quoted me almost $1000 cheaper than Justcar :(

To bad at the last moment they asked me if I had a garage... which I don't...

Almost exactly my situation.

nope thats not a good idea. you can guarantee if there is a big claim it will be investigated, and if they decide you didn't follow the conditions then you might as well not have been insured at all

i'd be calling back and state your parents address or something and it is locked up there in a garage most of the time!

Well the car would HAVE TO BE IN THEIR GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME ! !

Because if the car is stolen, the insurance company is often likely to send out an investigator.

The investigator will interview each resident separately.

Any inconsistency like Duncan says, will leave you up the creek without a paddle.

That's how the system works!

call "famous car insurance" you can pay monthly and they insure imports, i got a quote from them and was pretty happy with my full comp quote, I live in an average area under a car port and yeh still a good rate... guna get it done shortly

I just got a quote from famous, my quote from justcars was $1030 or $1107 for pay by the month with the car insured for $12500, which they had dropped from $15000 agreed value, standard excess of $500.

Famous quoted me $1590 or 1701 for pay by the month with an agreed value of $15000, standard excess of $1000.

Another point is that with justcars my stereo is insured for another $3000 but contents insurance was not offered through famous, if my car gets stolen and never recovered/destroyed with justcars the excess is $2000 with all up insurance of $15500, through famous the excess is $2000 and insured for $15000.

Thats my comparison of the two, shannons was about the same as famous but the excess was the same as just cars.

Anyone with Shannons and doens't have there car in a garage?

Yes

I wouldn't bother trying again though, unless you have special circumstances (not that I do, but I have a number of factors on my side which make me not that much of a risk). If all you've got is that you are not visible from the street, then I don't think you will have much luck..

The problem with just cars is they don't do an agreed value :D

I've been with JC for my last 3 cars incl. my current R34 and when renewing my insurance they wanted to drop the agreed value $2k or so and I told them not good enough, so I got a call back and they were happy to leave it at the previous insured value ($22k iirc) because I've been with them for a while (and even though I made a big claim on a previous car) so I'm pretty happy with JC, they haven't screwed me over *yet*.

how does shannons compare in price vs justcar for a daily drive (R34) ? Anyone been with JC and switched to Shannons ? From memory my premium with std. excess was close to $2k ($22k agreed) and I'm 28 with 60% NCB good driving record and live in a low crime suburb ie. not western sydney :dry:

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
