Just curious to hear who everyone uses?

I want to change to an agreed value on my car insurance so I'm going to go and get some quotes. Currently with Shannons and may stay there but I haven't looked in a while so want to see what's available.

I called Shannons for some info the other day and the guy on the phone really shitted me off. Couldn't even give me a proper quote on how much it'd cost to up my insurance too busy trying to give his un asked for opinion that if my car isn't in the top percentage of GTRs quality wise in Australia they won't raise it. Hmm if you read this buddy, kindly shove your opinion up your ass :D

I'm with Shannons. I'm pretty happy with it. One of the SAU member in WA works for Shannons, I can't remember his user name, nor whether he still works there, it's been a while. I called him up and got a comprehensive insurance instantly with a phone call, and no vehicle check.

Just Cars premium is usually the highest.

Young and Cool was the cheapest requires your car to have alarm with non-colour coded wiring... you are not covered for theft. Toyota MR2 factory alarm had colour coded wiring, hence I couldn't insure with them. They also give you 10% discount if you do a Murcott defensive drive training.

GTR is insured with Shannons. Corolla is insured with Toyota. Rav4 is insured with GIO, packaged with home & content insurance... more paperwork!

With Shannons you have to go see them in person. That's what I did with my car, and I got the agreed value that I wanted.

Kat, I actually had them first look at mine at the Wheels event, all I did was wander over to the Shannons sponsor tent and started talking to one of the guys there, he just said "take me to it and I'll look at it now",and that's how I got it, so maybe you could try that?

That way they get to look at the car when it's shiny clean too :banana:

try LSV (Lumley Special Vehicles) 133578

or Torque

I am with LSV, agreed value, cheapest I could find, great customer service.

My current policy is with LSV but they have doubled my excess to $1k (must be the market, ive made no claims) and i found out their agreed value means nothing just maximum amount they will pay, its just a reference to what clause where hey will assess the value and then pay what they want!

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
