RACV Follow-up...

[inark]

Well as i guessed they wont insure me... BUT they did give me a premium of $2600 on a rating 2 for a 1992 R32 GTS Turbo but it declined to process the policy... she said it was most likely because of my age and the type of car i was driving. Apparently it has to do with the risk involved of me in a "performance" car. Even tho i have no convictions, only 1 ticket and no previous accident claims. This was with an exhaust only as a mod and my alarm and immobiliser.

So i said to her that i would like a quote for another car...

1999 VT SS 5.7Litre with engine modifications 297kw at the fly

Yes they would insure me at $1670 even tho this car has double the power, no alarm or immobiliser.

yeah that makes sense... surely this is a sort of discrimination against ppl who drive Japanese imports... im too much of a risk to drive a 160kw skyline but when im behind the wheel of a 300kw tank im ok.

I said to her that maybe its becuase of the supposed rearity of them in the country and she said no (was an excuse i heard from one of their employees)... i asked if it was because the fact that it was an import... she replied with more the fact that there isnt much known about them... ok

BTW: yes they do have NON-Turbos on their books to give a quote for as when i was describing the type of car i said GTST and she got confused as all she could see was...

GTS

GTS Turbo

GTR

so whoever said they didnt have non-turbos on the quoting system is telling u stories.

[Ait]

Bloody wankers they are. That's ludicrous.

[sniffy]

im not a violent person, but...if this world wasnt as screwed up as these guys, id go and puch 'em!

I think I'll get another quote now that i know they have non turbo's on their system. the operator i spoke to must have been a fool...some people are so ignorant when it comes to imports :lol:

[inark]

its not ignorance its stupidity. the lady i spoke to was a customer relations consultant... in other words someone who speaks to pissed off people, the only reason i got her number was because of the letter i emailed them expressing my disposition at there stance on imports and their selectivity in insuring certain people and not others.

if you speak to an operator and they refuse... request to speak to their teamleader or supervisor... dont be a shit just request it calmly until you can.

maybe cos it'z import and it'z harder 2 get import partz for our car....Also maybe cos they want us to buy Australian carz rather then importz cos Australian carz lose value.........some shit like that I rekon.

i asked them if it was a factor that the parts are harder to get... (its not like they arent available ffs theyre just as common as WRXs if u ask me... also one they are now phasing out of insuring and that is a local import) and she said no.

its discriminatory i tell ya!!

[hotsky]

hey inark...do you have the number that you called...because i want to call up and take out the policy on the quote they gave me a little while ago, and dont wanna go through the crap of team leader refusal etc......

mine is non turbo r33 1994 got quoted 1700 i think it was ratin 2..and can pay by the month

[inark]

its at home mate i'll pm it to u when i get back... post the results of if they do it or not... i wanna get as much info as possible on this.

AGREED!...FFFFFFFFFFFF++++uCK insuracne companies we should start our own insurance company!!! that could work we drive whatever whe want and if we have an accident we all pay 5$ to fix whoevers cars damage????? just a suggestion

[inark]

lmao yeah thats a good idea

[Guest INASNT]

my gfriend went for a casual job at racv insurance phone operator, and they actually look for people who know nothing about cars at all to give out quotes over the phone as all they do is enter the data into a computer and it tells em what to say!

[Guest zerorespect]

gentlemen....i am 1/2 way through a slab of beer and saw this thread and couldn't resist.....thos mofos

racv....forget them

as stated in previous posts..my insurance has gone up about $600 over the last 2 years with no claims or convictions on my prelude....

the repair work has been discussed in an earlier post....

house insurance has gone up...and lost complete coverage of my dvd collection....

to finance my gtr purchase i'm selling the prelude (tears) and the buyer (2nd time lucky) organised an racv test this morning for the car....was told to come back before 5pm this arvo to pick it up....get there at 5 to 5 and the place is locked up early for the long weekend........had to walk for 45 mins and then catch a bus home after knocking on doors and looking like a d!ckh3ad trying to look through 1 way glass.....they didn't even leave it out in the carpark so i cold use my spare set of keys to drive it home.....

if anybody knows how to manufacture a firebomb...and can compile the instructions such that a half bananas bloke can understand please post here...the fire insurance on my car is worth much more than the buyer is offering.....
