well my renewel is cummin up with just cars and my premium has gone up to 3995 and my agreed value of the car has dropped to a crappy 25k. how the hell does that work.

i just got a quote pretending to be a new cust and was quoted 2500.

i guess my question is what if i made a new account and just paid the 2500 premium instead of the 4k.

and yes my details were identical

You are entitled to cancel or not renew your contract and accept the new quote - so long as details are disclosed as is. Why not? They are simply messing with rates/sum insured to screw you by the sounds of it.

Ring the insurance company and tell them your not happy with the renewal

Generally they will try and bump up the agreed value, but as the trade off you pay slightly more for your premium

Give and take really

yeah i remember you starting a few threads on here about accidents you had, including 1 involving a commodore who sped off. that would have affected your no claim bonus. anyway, didnt Just Cars spend lots of money fixing your car? a premium increase on their behalf isnt a big deal, especially after they pay to get your car back on the road and all fixed.

incorrect none of those accidents had any effect on my rating what so ever as i was not responsible.

nehoo ill give em a call see what happens.

This sounds like a loss of no claim bonus. Regardless of fault in your claims, if you were not able to obtain third party details for your insurer to claim off the other party, you may have lost part of it.

Yea thats true, if you make a claim wether its your fault or not it effects your rating and your premium at the end of the year, if you think about it this way, if someone hit you and they went through their insurance its all good cos just cars didn't do anything, if you claim and its not your fault your premium goes up, those sonsofbitches. And if you get a prick of a assesor and he spots something on your car thats not listed they wont cover you... But the value of the car depreciates every year unfortunatly so its not suprising that its gone down that much cos the same thing happened to me. Just call them and start asking them 1000 questions and dont get off the phone until your satisfied.

the amount of crashes you have had (regaurdless of whether you are at fault) is going to affect your costs.

you could try applying for insurance under the new quote but more than likely 1 of the 2 following will happen:

1: they look up your details and put the price up anyway.

2: they don't put your price up and if you have an accident they look up your previous details and refuse to pay.

as for the value of the car. once it has been in that many accidents the value is going to drop. no-one wants a car that has been dinged up heaps of time. and there are that many skylines out there now they aren't worth much.

so harden the f**k up and get your daddy to pay it.

    • H1 is not the Humvee, but is the most road based version. Lachlan (HankScorpio) on here has a proper Humvee. He imported it a few years back.
    • Welcome Thomas! Sounds like you've made some progress. Are you able to drive it and enjoy it a bit now ? 
    • HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though 
    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
