$1600 and u complain?

christ mines $2750 this year.

You'll find thats around best u'll get with an import.

[Beeble]

(btw am upgrading from an SX Corolla, insurance a paltry 300!!)

[Hicks]

:bahaha:

sorry mate ... seriously ... try Famous Car Insurance in Subi ... they seem to be able to sort out some fairly reasonable prices. Also, Suncorp Metway is another one to try.

Good luck!

stop complaining dude, I pay $2200!

and chrisroi - HBF suck ass, I call them and ask if they do imports, and they say NO....i hate insurance companies.

[chrisroi]

well we do have a policy with h.b.f as paul at autoworx put us onto them and said they were doing good deals for awhile so we are not complaining. we have been with rac for over 20 years but they didnt want to know about the skyline. so thats my 2 cents worth.

[ix9]

yeh chrisroi RAC shafted me too... got a quote, got a car, went to take out a policy.. oh, woops. no more imports buddy! dam!

might give hbf another call then.. see if the pleb i get on the phone knows about imports...

Hey Chris,

Are you the guy that gave everyone my direct number a while ago so they could call me at HBF for quotes.

IF IT WAS (and only if it was) thanks for that, a total of 22 phone calls from hoons with GTR's, silvias, 180sx's who are 23 and mostly younger with at fault accidents and losses of licence etc. what a good day that was

If not then I am still looking for the guy. Either way I probably authorised the cover for your wifes car.

Insurance is very scared of taking risks with imports as there are no age/driver skill restrictions for buying them, especially with the power that most can put out, same goes for V8's ya know. I mean I know excel drivers smash cars all the time, but cos we are a specialised group we get the sh*t end of everything. Its almost hopeless. and worse if you have had a crap history.

HBF do cover imports. so give them a call and tell them that someone else just did one if anyone says we dont do it. If you get too much opposition ask to be put through to James and leave a message for him telling him you want a quote for an import.

DO NOT TELL HIM YOU HEARD IT FROM HERE. If he tells me that I AM GOING TO BE NOT HAPPY JAN.

(we are checking how much interest there is just from the public, not from advertising. )

thanks for the input guys

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Sorry to inform you guys but I only pay $600 per year for my GTS-t, and it was only $700 when I was under 25. It seems that the insurance companies have one mad recently, but if you had insurance before then its not so bad, just hope I don't have an accident, they'll be waiting for an excuse not to renew at that price.

See'ya:burnout:

[chrisroi]

NO_RSPECT, no i am not the one who gave out your number as i dont have it, and i only found out last week about hbf, so sorry about that as you will have to keep looking, but thanks to hbf as we have got cover with a w.a. company at a great price.

[NO_RSPECT]

no dramas Chrisroi,

I know paul and he is a good guy, You wont have any dramas with the car for sure.

if you need anything insurance related about your policy let me know via email. [email protected]

Everyone else. good luck
