LOL HBF - $880 per year

then I rang suncorp....she punched in the figures and told me it would be $18721.69c per year and would I be using credit card to pay that........

I asked her to double check and she said that was a correct figure......guess some people are a little delusional about prices!

I got one or two quotes like that. gave me a friggin heart attack!

yeah, $8k/year.

huh? are you sure? wanna check that?

yeah, that's right. imports are expensive to ensure. plus, you cant drive it on the roads. or park it. anywhere.

just have it, and look at it.

:devfu:

[Lynx]

I laughed when she said it....I seriously thought she was joking. I think she got offended when I said "no really what is the yearly price?" followed by "you gotta be sh*tting me!"

[zanda]

I said something a bit ruder than that.

it involved bending over and a reference to fisting of some variety or varieties.

:fist:

[Lynx]

At the price they were asking I'd say it was the consumer getting the fisting......with both hands.

[Lynx]

I think we have a winner here.......EBM $702.35/yr Comprehensive cover $200 excess ($22000 Agreed Value)

[rev210]

thank goodness no one is silly enough to insure with hbf. They may be cheap but, boy do they suck on actual repairs and organising them (personal experience)

[Lynx]

BAWHAHAHA.......yeah imagine that

*Lynx looks around nervously and pushes old HBF policy into the bin*

[G0DF4Th3R]

*wonders where Riaz is*

Has anyone else been reamed by HBF lately.

Got my insurance renewal in the mail. I now have maximum no claim bonus since last year, which should reduce it further, and I'm a year older yay cheaper again! ....and get this... my premium WENT UP!

I tried EBM Insurance but they don't insure imports to anyone udner 25 anymore! (WTF)

Who else has a good deal on insurance they want to share? (and no, Just cars don't do monthly payments!)

[Nizmo]

EBM so do!!!

I got insurance thru them a couple of months ago with no problems!

[ix9]

Lauren, nah, you got your policy in Feb... since then the insurance companies they deal with no longer quote on imports... *sigh*

[Nizmo]

wow i was really lucky then

I rang up CGU insurance and asked them to quote on my car and they said they didnt do imports ..... but 2 hours later EBM rang them and i had insurance on my car ..... i was like what tha? they just told me they didnt insure imports!!

Guess try Just Cars.

[C yar]

i had the same thing with mine, SGIO told me they didnt do imports and MIB (broker) told me they got my insurance through SGIO

[Nexus_SiX]

hmm... may have to give EBM a ring too,

paying $900 with RAC

*EDIT* - Gave them a call and more expensive than RAC

Well if you are 26 and over you fall into the insurance companies "we love you guys at that age category".

I was with famous cars up till last month being 24 i was getting full comp insurance for 2K including mods (upgrade turbo, mags, exhaust, stereo etc) on 20K agreed.

My friend exactly the same car with similiar mods but 30 years old he's getting covered for $900 talk about me getting screwed.

Now i am with Just cars paying $1300 including the mods.

If I had straight standard GTS-T 95 Series II it would only be $1000.

SO if you have a standard skyline and are under 25 i recommend Just cars.

[ix9]

Just cars is cheaper for me... only they don't allow you to pay monthly (big lose)

and I dont have a spare $1k lying around... well... I do for mods, but not greedy insurance companies

[miss_petepie]

i work for an Insurance Broker in the city and I just recently tryed to obtain insurance on a 32. i tryed no lie 11 companies,.... i had to go to the Insurance Inquiries and Complaints Board and you can tell them im a ie: Male, 22 with an Import - and they can give u the numbers of which insurers will cover you. They gave me for the details above about 4 numbers.... now i tryed all 4 out of that 2 companies said no. One other said Yes but they must return the suspension back to normal ride height and return it to a stock turbo. (would not cover upgraded turbo)

I ended up trying Just Car Insurance and found that they are of the better option. the Premium combined with state charges and levies came to $2,015.00 which isnt that bad really...

its only going to get harder as the media and other ppl drum up the idea of the "street racer image" and cars of this power and stereotype keep on crashing... the parts are also harder to get. (insurance companies take the hard way around things)

I might be able to get cheaper rates becos i know a few ppl so if anyone wants to give it a crack just PM me and i can give it a shot.... I can also get lower excess's and stuf.. also help explain some of the terms and conditions...

[red17]

Not sure about it getting harder and more expensive. Insurance on my R32 dropped $550 for me last year alone going from 25 to 26

Im on a good deal with Western QBE.... $720 for 12 months comprehensive. Gonna stick with em

Well its either save the money on insurance with one hit and then spend the savings on mods instead of getting reamed.
