Pleasant surprise

[ausgtr]

Well it has been exactly one year since I bought the GT-R and it was time to renew my insurance. I received the renewal in the mail, opened it expecting a slight reduction ($3500 for the first year, 22 year old), to my surprise found out I will be paying only $2200 this year, that's a $1300 drop after the first year!! How great is that?

Has anyone experienced such a huge drop in their insurance? Just shows that skyline owners are great drivers

And before anyone ask's I am with Just Cars.

This just made my week:) .

hi stew,

we must have bought our gtr's at the same time! mines red and 1993 too! which area are you in? dont seem to bump into you at all?? i'm in the southside. i didnt get a drop in my insurance costs this renewal that's why i changed insurers from suncorp to nrma! they were cheaper by $400!

it was a pleasant suprise for me too because a year ago, i called nearly all insurers in the yellow pages and was only able to find 4 insurers willing. this year, many more insurance companies seem to be willing to insure imports...they must all be quite greedy as they all see that you could charge an arm and leg and be able to get away with it!

I live on the northside, Narangba. Noone lives out here:) .

I was shocked at first, checked all the details to make sure everything was right and it was. An extra $1300 to spend else where:D .

Some people live out there. I'm at Petrie, which is just down the road. That said I don't think I have seen you around either. I'll wave if I do

That not too bad. I have just sold an investment property and made a tidy profit and am currently toying with the idea of buying a GTR. That insurance you quote is less than a grand more than what I pay now for my GTST and I am 26 with a rating 1. I though it would be worse than that. That is one more for the for column. Lets see, 1000 fors and 1 against for buying a GTR. MMMMMM, might have a GTR yet before the years out.

I travel around the Northside quite a bit, used to live in Caboolture and still go up there a bit to see the folks. Maybe I shall see you around up there!

lucky....

My first year insuring the GTR was $1300, 2nd year it jumped to $1900, last year it was $2300... So much for insurance getting cheaper as you get older.....

This is also with JustCar insurance.

My insurance dropped $500 after the first year which I was quite stoaked about. Hopefully this time it will drop by even more

ph, has it increased with the modification level, have you been naughty, anything like that?

It would cost me 1200 or so to insure comprehensively, with bulk excess.

Something to do with all these fines and modifications....

Still a bit of a ripoff for a car with $4000 market value at best.
