Well, how is this lads.

My cousin rang up late last week and got a quote to insure a 180sx. We purchased the car on the weekend and are picking it up tonight. He rang RAC this arvo and they said that the quote is now void because they are not insuring any new business who drive imports...existing customers are ok however.

This is for a guy who is 32 with 50% NCB!!! He managed to get a covernote through Wesfarmers (who he works for) anyway, and is calling Riaz I think because he fits into their +30 yr old age bracket.

Bastards...

when looking for insurance i had a few quotes and although RAC was high i nearly went with them, but i didn't, which was lucky because now they won't.

anyhow, i went with 'famous classic car insurance' as a last resort (as i had the car and was test driving :D and they turned out nearly $110 cheaper than RAC.

- $704 pa with 60% no claim :D) $450 under 25 excess and $250 minumum whatever... so give them a try?

looks like their site is being upgraded.

carry on!

After skyzerr33 started this thread I was getting worried that I would not get any insurance, but I rang yesterday to confirm my quote with RAC, the person on the other end of the phone brought up the quote with no worries, and I justed ask how long is it valid for etc, the point being I was waiting for their system to say the quote was no longer valid which it didn't!

Which backs up hks-s14 story "they said that the quote is now void because they are not insuring any new business who drive imports...existing customers are ok however." I hope/think this is the reason why my quote is still ok, ie I have a car currently insured with RAC among other things!

called RAC as they didn't call back

who wants to guess what my yearly premium is now for a:

1994 R33 GTST

25 years old 60% no claim?

i'll post the new amount later but for now u can guess and i'm a happy chappy so if you know what i already pay its less :D

    • these guys recommended to me and supplied custom 4 inch mufflers, couldn't be happier. They will spec a muffler to your preferred level of sound and know RB's well.  https://spmufflers.com.au/
    • Yeah this used to happen to me every year and a quick call would at least raise the agreed value back up / reduce the premium, but usually both.    That said for the first time on the renewal this year our agreed values went up or stayed the same over the fleet and the premium came down so that was a nice surprise. 
    • I don't even go that hard core. I just say "how do you expect me to stay, when you increase my premium, and reduce the value of the car?"   Then play a game of shut the f**k up. Most of the time it's a computer that did the adjustment, and the people will happily change it around for you.
    • You just say that the premium increase seems particularly excessive (no pun intended) and that the value decrease seems unwarranted. You say that it's not 2005 any more, and that these days Skylines are generally owned and insured only by those that have demonstrated an ability to keep them in one piece across decades, and are therefore not the horrible risk that used to be assumed. etc.
