Wardest Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I won't piss muck about explaining everything. Took out a policy with Just Cars last year. -Full Comp. -Rating 4 -Over 25. -Flawless Driving history -$400 Excess. -$3870.00 Was always gonna be a big premium coz it was my first car and first insurance in my name. But i wasn't gonna get anything other than THAT exact Skyline so i was fully prepared to take the hit. Just got the renewal form in mail. Same policy, same rating, same everything. EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE. ONLY$1500!!!!!! NOW ITS TIME TO :rave: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33545-insurance-glory/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggala Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I hope you have paid it straight away b4 they change their mind? I can see a point to that though I believe you are at most risk with a turbo car within the first 6 months of having a crash if you survive a year you risk is really only the same as a normal car casue you arent goign to have a stupid accident comming on boost in the wet etc and you have proved you treat you car with respect. good one. my premium for my cefiro is $600 a ear with just cars ( full comp) cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33545-insurance-glory/#findComment-672346 Share on other sites More sharing options...

riggaP Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Nice saving! I'd put it down to being over 25 tho. 1st year mine went from $2500 to $1950. Next time its due I'll be over 25 so I might shop around. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33545-insurance-glory/#findComment-672614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_kw13 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Aaargh flex mate. That totally sucks. Mebbe, u might be better off with a different car right now?

Blade Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Gee i dont know how u can fork out 4k a year on comp when u have to pay 2k excess...u might aswell put that money aside and if u do have a crash should be enough to repair your car... Im only 3rd party but have money aside just in case something happens.

torque Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 i cant believe how some of u dudes fork out all that money for car insurance.....i suppose the bast_ rds leave us no choice.......Im also with just cars and pay around the 1300 mark for full insurance I even think that is too much because im a rating 1. When i had my beamer i was paying around the 800 mark full insurance Turbos are EVIL to insurance companies......

predator Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Its almost a joke isn't it.. now if you think about it, I mean sure skylines get in accidents, but its not like the majority - it seems they base their premium on the fact that the majority of turbos are going to be in an accident at least once a year! Makes you wonder about other cars though - they're either get in much much less accidents (hmm, still doubtful on that one), or somebody is just trying to fleece certain people for as much as they can!

Cos in a few year's time u can get another R33 (not a SII tho) this is my first year driving the skyline.. so i'm getting Comprehensive.. but if i'm accident free for the year, then i'll get 3rd party but if my insurance do go down that low like wardest.. i will most likely consider it. :headspin: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33545-insurance-glory/#findComment-674592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
