Gidday,

A quick search for insurance would've found the following threads:

I am with shannons, mainly because at the time a SAu member was getting great deals on insurance for SAu members.

Have fun reading :P

I had to go through Just Cars as they were the only ones that would cover me. I have never had a car insured before (due to only ever driving bunky's worth $1000 and less ;) ) and I am pretty sure I got a fairly decent deal. I have found them quite nice to deal with too, but I have not made any claims so that may change....

I know 2 people who have made claims with Just Cars and let me tell you right now both claims were NOT handled well............. One was a complete write off and they didnt want to pay for extra things that the owner HAD TOLD them about and was on the policy ............. PM 666DAN and ask him about it if you want to.

I pay $70/mth with agreed value of $30k, Rating 1, with Shannons.

yea im thru just cars too, but heaps of cars get stolen each week around cessnock so i think it has something to do with that, and its under a huge carport, not a garage

my friend bought a R32 gtst was one of the nicest R32's i'd seen and he have lost his license twice had 3 previous claims for crashes and stolen cars, VT's VN's VP's etc...

he got insurance for $1400 thru elders, he thought he was the man, i felt ripped off, but then one day he went blasting thru a give way hit a 4WD and rolled the 4WD which had a small baby inside, this was about 3 weeks after he bought it.

he rang elders the other day looking to insure another R32 he was going to buy, they want to charge him $5500 now... haha

Only problem with shannons is you have to be 25 or older to get insurance with them, which sucks completely.

Now that i am off my P's and over 21 and the fact that i have never had an accident nor had a speeding fine or anything like that of the sort, i thought it would have been easier for me to get full comp insurance.

But clearly it is not the case

i was 21 when i first insured my stag with shannons

im 25 maximum no claim bonus and i pay $1800 with an agreed value of $15,000 through Shannons. registered as a business vehicle... I didnt think it was the most reasonable figure, I also have a perfect driving record and the car is garaged in a pretty good area.

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
