The Best Insuarnce Company For Imports?

[{AMO}]

Hey guys.

I am thinking of buying either an R32 Skyline or a turbo S13.

was wondering wat peoples oppinions are when it comes to insurance i am 17 and on my p's in SA.

who would be the best priced insurance companies to go with for imports and do you think its better to go third party fire and theft or spend the extra doh and go full comprehensive.

all help would be heeps appreciated.

cheers, Aaron.

i prefer 3rd party compared to 3rd party fire and theft... coz fire n theft has a lotta conditions and only pay out up to $4 grand or sumthin... minus the excess so its not much... and they wouldnt cover my system anyway on fire n theft

for full comp i was looking at $3000 - $4000...

this was all through just cars for a S2 R33

my dad just gotta quote for full comp on his 4 door r33 and it was $800

P's are a bitch... im in melbourne though

There is a big thread on this in the FAQ section.

apparently premium prices have dropped a lot lately.....i think you should try again and get closer to $2k

I have got Just cars insuring mine ... $1127/year Rating 1, all mods listed. Not to bad in the fact that EVERY mod is listed and their service is tip top ...

Im 17 as well and i bought a 1992 R32 gtst, 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, BOV, Apexi AVCR, Greddy E-manage and GTR kit and my insurance with just cars in $2,052 . that is when i turn 18 in a month. i dont know what ur saying 4K?

[skyline xtx]

i got quoted $2500 from famousinsurance and $2300 from Just car full compo im a cheapo so i only got 3rd party

[xRHETTx]

Yeah im down to $908 a year rating one 23 with Just cars. Started at 21 on rating 3 at $1700.

Being in SA im guessing your insurance will be about $2k, try doing an online quote on the just cars website, then when ur serious give them a call. I found it was a fair bit cheaper when i rang them compared to the online quote.

You do realise when you list your mods they must be 100% legal.

If it isn't.. Goodbye insurance policy.

However, insurance company's don't usually pick on this unless you were being totally stupid and crashed the car.

the best pricing I've got is from Famous Car Insurance.

My skyline's insured for $1200 a year and the ceffy is $800, and that's for full comprehensive.

Helps if you've got a good rating though.

Their policies are a bit odd though. For example, I got a quote from one repairer for accident repair on the cef, had an assessor come down and approve it. The repairer bludged around for a couple of months etc, so I got another quote from another repairer for a cheaper value, and they insisted that I wait for the more expensive repairer to do the work. Which was wierd.

Other than that no hassles at all, and as long as you tell em what mods you have upfront, they're generally OK with it.
