[Drift-R]

yo everyone, im currently 17 (18 soon )

I rang up "just Car" insurance for a skyline r33 gts-t i was lookin at for about 19000. it was real nice, turbo, bov the works. the insurance came to about $2700 a yr which is ****in alot . that works out to be like 250 a month. ne was to get round this? to make it cheaper????

[MarkR33]

get 3rd party only

get another car

insure it for a lower value and negotiate onthe price

speak to famous say your from SAU then bargain with them

[33Spec2]

do a search on insurance in these forums

and yes thats how much its gonna cost you there are no ways around it unless you put it under parents name which will still work out around the same and if they find out that your driving the car more than stated they can void your insurance alltogether so i suggest you look at other cars or wait untill you hav sum sort of no claim bonus if you think the quote you hav been given is 2 much

[GTRboy]

try the search forum, there would be about 1000 replies now to these topics....

That's how much it will cost to insure. Don't complain. Just do it already.

do you guys think its worth paying $2700 a yr ?

[GTRboy]

no cos if ure a proper driver, you will only need 3rd party, get ure ncb up and then go to full comp, or wait till ure 18 and then get full comp, its not to mcuh cheaper but its a little bit less anyways...and more companies will look at you

[Drift-R]

alright, thanks for everyones help. I turn 18 in 2 months so ill wait and see how much it is then.

this is crap advice.

if you're 17, just got your license and think you're indestructable..... then you're probably 17..... and you're probably not (infallible).

dude, why dont you start out with a cheaper but equally fun car. like a silvia or an R31.....

[fane]

zanda reads fane's mind again

this car isnt cheap to uphold, and mikey is finding this out now...

as zanda said, you need insurance, if someone hit me and they didnt have insurance or money, i would rip their ****in balls off...

i dont pretend to know everything because im only 21 and im still learning, but at 17 you should aim at a first car kind of level, (this doesnt mean it has to be a heap of shit, but prolly not aim around the 20k mark for you first car) and look at a car that you can get insurance for and build up your no claim bonus.

my first car was a ford falcon, yes it was slow, but it was comfy and nice to drive, and i learnt the road. now i have my skyline, i can afford insurance and im sitting pretty stable (touch wood )

in the falcon i built up a 60% no claim bonus which got my insurance down to $996 a year insured for $20k with westfarmers.

what about an N/A 33 or a 32 if you want a newer car than a silvia or an r31...?

[mexr]

For insurance its not that much cheaper between a 33 gts and gtst as a FIRST car, but it definatley will be cheaper to maintain the gts..

Do some more research before you go into anything, you dont want to have any regrets later down the track..

[G0DF4Th3R]

buy a normal car, like a camry or something

when i first got my license, i drove an SUV

[NO_RSPECT]

if your are a proper driver you will only need third party...haha...what happens if the car catches on fire?

anyways i agree if you are 17 and you think that 2K is too much then you are not the rich kid 17yr old that can afford to drive this car at that age...if you want to lose all of your life working harder than ever to get enough money to maintain and fuel the car as well as insure it.then be my guest...but there are plenty of cars to learn to drive well in before stepping to a skyline and also before being able to afford it..or at least have a job that makes it easy to maintain the car

wise words from the old skool pimp... err i mean, Riaz knows what he's talking about he's from the industry

I just spat coffee all over the monitor

As many others have said, trust the word of Riaz. He is THE MAN when it comes to insurance.
