Links Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Just got a quote in the last couple of days ppl.. what do you think. Car: '96 Skyline R33 gts-t SII - isured for $20,000 Age: 22 Driving record: Spotless Previous Insurere: None 1) Just cars - $1950 premium with $1600 excess 2) Famous, unfortunately due to no previous insurance, the best NCB they could offer was 20% while Just Cars will put me on 50% due to having my license for 4 years.. Oops.. forgot to put in what famous said - $3,500 premium.. However would prob be $3,000 due to driving record.. Will wait until I have a year of insurance @ 50% than prob look into them.. At the moment i'll prob go with just cars, it isn't too bad I guess... Anyone got any other suggestions as to where I should also check up??

volt_bite Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 thinking about insurance almost makes one want to cry.. im 20 and im just thinking if its actually worth getting a skyline(r33 gtst)..so far, it seems u gotta hunt around alot and ask alot of questions, but in the end, im sure i would have to pay quite alot. especially since ive had a crash (write off) and a few speeding fines. although im thinking listing the car under my parents name seems like the best option.. but some of those insurances with (8k km) restriction.. that would suck as i would use it as a daily driver.. anywy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/12142-need-insurance-want-cheaper-insurance/page/19/#findComment-1490156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimX Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I got my renewal a few weeks ago and found it had dropped from $1500 (last year's price) to $1200. I was thinking that the market value had obviously dropped, but after doing some checks on Trading Post I saw some nearly stock R33's (usually just exhaust and/or rims) going for up to $19k private and just over $20k from a dealer. I'm fairly sure that the market value or mine with a few more mods is around the same or even more than the original insured value ($22k). The girl on the phone said that I was able to increase the insured value if I liked. Might need to check that out.

djsib Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 As some of you know I've had a tough time trying to find insurance after having had my license suspended for speeding and having a small at fault accident. One of the reasons I sold my Skyline was insurance and it's ridiciulous premiums.The other day I called Famous Insurance and in a matter of minutes got the cheapest quote despite of my bad record. Today I went ahead with the policy and couldn't be happier. Just to put things in perspective. I've called countless companies and they all either do not insure classic cars or I present too high a risk for them. I'm really sick of dealing with them and answering the same questions over and over again and hearing the same answers. The nearest quote I could find was $1090 with another classic car insurer which required me to get a valuation which costs over $100. Their excess was $500. Famous on the other hand have offered me a premium of $600 with a basic excess of $200 and have insured me for the purchase amount (not market value like most other insurers wanted to). Following year the premium will drop to under $400 pending my driving record during the year. Xxxx Xxxx who are meant to be lenient to high risk customers wanted to charge me around $2800 for market value which comes to $5800. Their excess was over $1000. Sure they are lenient but they should advertise the fact that they are also extortional. I had a third party property policy with them until today which cost me $693 with an excess of $1400! Famous Insurance are an SAU endorsed company who offer our members a 10% discount or alternately will beat most quotes by 10%. Give them a call for a quote. You might be pleasently surprised. George Disclaimer: As any intelligent person would know, circumstances detirmine your premiums so what is expensive for me might be cheap in your case. SAU does not guarantee that Famous Insurance will offer you a policy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/12142-need-insurance-want-cheaper-insurance/page/19/#findComment-1503089 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FILO34 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I was with Famous Classic Car Insurance before, and had an incident where i had to do claim it took a long time and a few weeks of waiting but overall they were alright. Its just sometimes they sort of stuff u around in not paying or replacing things, in which they make there own reasons to not cover somethings. And they really do take a hell alot of time on your claim and it sucks cause your car is sitting there at the panal shop for ages. But when i was with them, it was $5500 under my name (20yo at the time) Modifiyed R34 GTT, they were the cheapest around at the time. But im not with them anymore...

thrtytwo Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Ive been looking for quotes on a R32 GTS-T. Im 17, on my P plates and have no previous accidents or claims. I asked for quotes from RAC but they wouldnt even insure me in a GTS. I then went to just cars and they would do a GTS for $1241. I then got a quote for a GTS-T from them and it was only $1475. Im quite happy with this and will most likely get theyre policy.

Gonzola Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Are these guys in WA too? Im with Just Car... full cover was a little over $1K for me at 19 with minimal mods on a 2.5lt TT Supra. 3rd party with fire/theft cover was around $600, but insured at $10k and getting stolen they only pay out $5k!!!

kralster Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 How do you guys in your late teens and early twenty's get such good quotes? I'm with just car insurance and i've got an R34 GT-t and it's costing me 2900 a year. I've never crashed anything or claimed for anything. And the best they will do next year is move me down to a rating 5 which is about 20 percent off my current premium.

Links Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Because your car is probably valued in the low 30's.. while mine is 21k.. That's an extra 1/3rd.. hence the higher premium.. + parts.. + location.. + about 50 other factors.. btw - I pay $2000 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/12142-need-insurance-want-cheaper-insurance/page/19/#findComment-1600457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
