I am sick of Insurance companies not knowing shit about imports and just being rude. Just got off the phone with Shannons. You would think that people who deal with imports daily would have been given

Where is my quote then? lol im the honest one getting punished for it!

No quote because they cannot sell you it.

Its like going into KFC, asking for a big mac, KFC cant sell you it, you dont have a fully enclosed garage, shannons cant sell you a product.

Simple.

Here's the deal with Shannons:

They DO insure under 25's.

All our cars are classed as high performance (damn straight) - so they gotta be in a fully enclosed, locked up garage. Anything else is a no go. Don't lie about this, firstly it's illegal to, second if you have a claim they will investigate where you have been keeping it.

If you don't drive the car as often, you can pay less premium if you tell them. They have different usage categories, so your car can be a daily drive, or you can drive it a couple of times a week, or a couple of times a month. If you have if off the road for a chunk of time you can let them know that and they change your insurance to something called "laid up cover". This means that it's fully comprehensively insured as long as it's not being driven under it's own power. This laid up thing also covers accidental damage you do to the car yourself!!

i.e. car is off the road for some engine work, you drop the engine through the sunroof, you're totally covered. Laid up premiums are also very very low.

If you're under 25 your excess will be higher, but nowhere near $2500 like with some of the others.

You also get full choice of repairer (only the best) and lifetime guarantee on repairs, so if your panel beater does a slightly less tahn perfect job, Shannons will pay for it to be fixed again.

One replacement window or windscreen per year with NO EXCESS.

Pay by the month and it doesn't cost you extra.

I've got both cars and the contents insured with Shannons as well. Had 2 claims this year, no paperwork, over the phone, great service.

I have the new car through shannons as they offered the best coverage.

One thing that kills me about customers is when they are just comparing prices.

Comparing insurance prices is like looking at a yaris and a R8 audi. Yes the yaris is cheaper but what good is it as a sports car.

cheap insurance is cheap for a reason!!

anyway

I'm 24 pay $1200

with a 800 excess

agreed value 40K

rating 1

ohhh and after working in car insurance for the last 10 months i'm glad i only deal with marine insurance.... car owners are w@nkers!!

now paying $131 a month for $13,000 worth of coverage with a $900 excess with Shannons as opposed to...

... $141 a month for $9,000 coverage and a $2,000 excess with Famous. much happy with the new cover. took about 20 minutes til it was all sorted. stoked.

dude who handled it was awesome, very patient despite my not knowing basically anything and constant running around to find details, very helpful, explained everything i wasnt quite sure about as opposed to all the people ive had at h2p, justcar, and famous who have dismissed any questions and told me to read the policy when i get it. much awesome. will probably be signing the magna up with them for insurance also as they quoted less than the raa did.

Good to hear we could look after you mate, you spoke to Damien, he is one of our best, drives an evo 6.

Plus I've never met anyone who didn't think our service was the best they've ever had.

Cheers.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
