Not sure if this is the right section, but does anyone know which is the better insurer

I got quotes off NRMA (whose "market value" was half of what rebook is and more than half of what I am paying) so they are out

Just Car valuing it at purchase price and will cost $1,894 and covers mods

Lumleys insurance at purchase price as well for $903 and covers mods

Just wondering if there is something Im missing for Lumleys. I guess it seems too good to be true so I want to make sure there isn't a reason to avoid Lumleys.

I think Lumleys excess was 600 and just car was 800. but i dont really look at excess much, Im more interested in things they cover and dont cover, but I asked a few questions of the chick at Lumleys and everything seemed covered

Lumleys SV and Shannon's give you a choice of repairer. Whereas Just Car will only give you a choice if it's the cheapest quote.

Lumleys is chasing market share at the moment, so quite a few people are making hay while the sun shines.

On their PDS, Lumleys SV will also cover any window breakage (eg rear quarter/side/rear) without penalty, whereas Just Car will only cover the front windscreen. Mouldings are extra tho'

PDS tells all and Shannon's is pretty good too BTW.

Just Car is often the only insurance company accessible to younger drivers. I wish there was more competition out there to reduce their premiums - sigh

By this do you mean for example car is totalled and you have illegal coilovers they won't cover the coilovers but will the rest of the car or they outright simply won't payout anything at all. Also what is your source?

I'd like to know this as well. But from logic and a fairness point of view, I'd imagine they wouldn't cover you IF the illegal part was the cause or a contribution of the accident, which I think is somewhat fair.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
