Insurance Advice

[batmat]

Hi, im 17 and have had my licence for 6 months. Im looking to buy a r33 gts-t, but the only way i can is if someone will insure me:( .

Is there anyone that knows an insurance company in perth that will insure someone like me.

thanks

[memphis]

not gonna happen sorry

this has been my 'quest' for the last 6 months, noone will even touch me. and ive had my licence for near on 2 yrs now.

You **May** be able to insure under your parents name, provided they have a good no claim. Just insure it under there name and put you down as a 10% or 20% driver.

Good luck!

[batmat]

that sucks so much.

I spoke to 'famous car insurance' earlier on today, they told me that if i had had my licence for 12 months, they would insure me for a r33 gts-t valued at $25,000 for $3500 a year.

maybe they can help u out seeing as uve had ur licence for 2 years.

So pretty much i should stop looking at skylines then?

Have u tried HBF?

[batmat]

not yet, ill try them now.

ive tried:

western qbe

SGIO

RAC

suncorp

famous

shannons

dawes

fortron

no luck, suncorp quoted my mum $15,000 a year, and said no other drivers...wicked..

qbe only does 25+ dont they?

im on the phone to a hbf lady now, shes really nice, telling me abour her brothers skyline, she siad they wont insure imports at all for people on their p plates...

her bros is non turbo, hes 19, and insured by hbf tho

she also told me to check out some insurance brokers in the yellow pages.

hrm, what would be some other nice cars for 25g that i should start looking at if i cant get insurance for a gtst??

[dan_the_man]

an old wrx

[batmat]

how are they on insurance tho?

i cant afford mega high premiums =/

do u know any companies that will insure p platers with wrx's?

or are they just as bad as skylines??

[33Spec2]

id say just as bad as skylines maybe a bit less coz they are not imported they only way you are gonna get insurance is to put it under sumone elses name

[batmat]

hrm, does anyone know anything about the insurance that subaru themselves offer?

would they insure someone like me with a wrx?

[Cake]

batmat, try CGU Insurance,

my friend says his s15 is insured through them and hes 18 on P's

maybe he's insured under his parents name though im not sure... worth a try though.

[33Spec2]

you'd have to ring and ask

[batmat]

nope, havent tried GCU yet, ill give them a try tomorro if theyre open..

any suggestions for other cars other than wrx's and skylines that are nice for around 25g? with gay insurance in mind or course

[dan_the_man]

rac shouldnt be to bad on a wrx.

$1100yr full comprehensive insurance thru RAC for me for a my99wrx, and i'm under 25...

[batmat]

ok, well ill find out about insurance 4 the wrx and hopefully that will turn out ok...doubt it tho, turbos and p platers dont mix as far as insurance companies are concerned...=/

i just hope im not stuck with 25 grand stuck to spend on a ****ing commodore...

thanks for the help boys, ill let u know how it all turns out.

[batmat]

[pisnnissn??]
