I am using TORQUE INSURANCE who operate through a company called Lumley Insurance... insured my 93 R32 GTR for $26000 and only paying $1050 per year... I am 27 so I am over the 25 cut off that most insurance companies have but I lost my licence 3 times when I was a lot younger so I think this is a great price.

I'd be VERY careful dealing with this mob!

Yeah well I've been trying to call them today (Left two messages)... There is an american recorded voice on the other end, no-one seems to answer and I havent got a call back all day. They sound seriously dodgey, and I'm doubting that they have an Australian branch at all - its probably diverted to USA offices. Sure, it's related to washington, but a company that has this sort of shit raised against them is bound to be less than completely trustworthy..

Insurance companies arent something you want to take a punt on - especially when it could mean having to pay out for a $100,000 merc that you accidentally wrote off when your insurance company turns out to be a bunch of dodgey pricks from the USA! Im sure you catch my drift!

Insure with these guys by all means - just dont start a whining thread when they f*ck up your claim and you lose your car, or you have to pay out for the medical bills of a child you ran over when your insurance company leaves you high & dry!!

Im just saying - be careful

there is no '.au' postfix on that url, meaning its not a wa government website for a start.

wtf has that got to do with anything? I was never inferring that it was from Australia. It just is a coincidence that washington happens to have the same abbreviation that Western Australia does... It clearly says "WASHINGTON" on the top of the pdf anyway!

I was saying that a company that has this sort of order against them (ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD) is to be approached cautiously!!

Thanks but I was going for the more "Its 99% probability that its not the same company as this washington thing"

Its helpful to post your age too. Apart from the type of car this is the probably the second most major factor when it comes to insurance
