So who else besides NRMA and the Suncorp owned companies (AAMI, Just Car, Shannons et al.) insures grey imports? Going to vote with my feet once this is all over and NRMA will only cover my car for $12k at a cost of $1300 a year.

given that you just made an at fault claim you may find it difficult to vote with your feet Boz.

[boiracer]

he makes a point

yeah shannons is suncorp owned..cant expect to much. I only have it because of the combo of Beetle and skyline was the best with the highest payouts. And from what i understand, Shannons gives loyalty discounts for staying with them.

[Smity42]

Well just cars only worked out slightly cheaper than shannons

BUT they did increase they agreed value on the leopard (not much, but at least they were willing to discuss it), both cars are covered for everyday use (leopard was limited use with shannons policy), and no stupid restricted driver policy. They win

Got the smash repair guys doing the work to give me a full, itemised copy of the quote. Only second hand parts they are using is the bonnet and AC fan & shroud. Everything else is brand new, ex-japan. the prices on some of this stuff is just obscene. Nearly $400 for the radiator fan and shroud, front bar is nearly $800 and it looks like a pair of new headlights at $1100 amongst other things. ($570 each and both are listed on the quote) Just under $4,000 in new parts for the front end.

At least the front of my car will look nice and tidy One plus I guess. They are also doing a full mechanical assessment over the next couple of days and will send me an itemised quote for mechanical repairs. Downside, IC and radiator are cactus. They are going to see if they can repair them and if not the new assessor I'm dealing with has said he will give PWR a call and see what they can do. Not sure what will happen with the IC as Blitz doesn't make that model any more. This new guy actually seems to give a shit, or maybe my bitching got a response.

Shannons is a bit weird, they wanted to charge me almost as much for the SP23 as they did on the GTR

Morning peeps

Anybody going to next weekend's downshift do at Rocklea?

[Smity42]

Morning Mangs,

TFIF.

Leopard drives nice ate up the kms betweens Scott's place and mine

[Smity42]

Arrrgggggghhhhhhhhhh is it beer o'clock yet?

[PWND]

I would be counting down but am looking after the kids tonight so no drinks for me this arvo.

Got meetings all day, so it's going to drag on

[Smity42]

Just got a call from Shannons in reply to my email yesterday.

Spoke to someone who was much more helpful, and explained to me the restricted driver condition in more detail. It's not quite as bad as I thought, but still a bit of a pain, and they still want to put it on both cars.

They were happy to increase the value of the leopard by the same amount as just car however, and said they would be happy to talk about increasing it further if they can inspect the car.

Much happier with the service this time round, they are going to send me an updated quote and we'll go from there.

Maybe I just spoke to the wrong person the other day...

That happens too, I have had vastly different experiences with them depending on who the person is.
