V35 Insurance Drama

[Nightcrawler]

^^^ I would have been around 30 at the time .... but also it has been pointed out to me that many grey imports are now in the Redbook - where 6 years ago they weren't ....

I rang Shannon's as I was insured with them years ago, that's 10minutes of my life I won't get back.......

^^^ care to elaborate on that? Obviously he has had very recent issues .....

^^^ care to elaborate on that? Obviously he has had very recent issues .....

1/Refused to give a quote to my wife (as I had the "fun" week of 11-14hr days at work, engineering blows), she mentioned that I had been insured before with them. Even refused to put under her name. It is not "my" or "her" car it is "our" car who gives a funk who's name it is under...

2/Asked me what I wanted to insure it for, I said $18k, which in all fairness would put me in another manual V35 sedan (ie not auto) at this time if poo hit the fan. He then said "$15k for $1000p/yr". So why bloody well ask then? Also I am 36 so insuring that car for that is taking the piss, answered NO to all the "have you.." questions.

I also hate when I call up and since I am not so much in the car scene anymore (was in a number of car clubs in the late 90's early 00's with the 180sx I had) the attitude is almost like "why are you calling us, wannabe car enthuasist?", Just the elitist attitude they seem to have. I called up when we first had the car and got the same attitude, hence why I went elsewhere, thought they may have changed. This is the reason why I was a bit wary to call them in the first place.

My brother inlaw has a particular car with them, an old Corona wagon (it is in good shape TBH) mid-late 70's. He bought that for $150 (told them so), he rang Shannon's and they turned around and insured it for $3500. Work that out.

So i'm currently with RACQ insurance and i've just spent over an hour talking to a girl who keeps putting me on hold because she doesn't know what the answers are to my easy questions.

I'm trying to add my Injen CAI and my Kinetix V+ Plenum to my insurace so i'm covered but as i'm under 25 i can only have 1 modification. I'm also trying to find out if i change my orange bumper indicators to black if i'm covered and she thinks i'm not. This is an absolute joke, it's a $20 mod and i won't be covered if i get in an accident. Even suspension or exhaust won't even be accepted. I pay $190 a month for insurance when i can't even get covered for MINOR modifications to the car so i've had enough.

What insurance company are you with, what do you pay and can you add modifications to your insurance if you're under 25?

Piss them off, go with just car or NRMA if they will do it in your state. problem solved.
