My shit box is with Enthusiast for $50k at $1.6k, 8000km max travel a year. 

8000km per year LOL.. I've done like 400km this year so far, still 7600km to go!

 

Mine is similar, but I did find you can dynamically adjust it during the year and pay more/adjust the payment if you like.

Or lower it in your case :D

My R32 is <<$1k with Shannons.

Shannons won't even insure me. apparently lock up garage is mandatory and carport inside the property behind a secured gate is not good enough.

Did you get an instant rejection or a personalised e-mail/call from a human?

A human from Enthusiast actually asked for photos of my car, parked in my garage to be e-mailed. They asked for engine bay shots, interior shots, around the car to prove it was actually garaged and not some clapped out shit box.

I suppose you could try with them and send photos of your car locked up behind a heavy duty gate?

Do you mind if I asked, who you insured with? All the big guys like NRMA,  Alliance, etc have the EXACT same car value estimate system, it's like they just borrowed it from each other lol. Apprently a silvia is worth 13k or so. Muppets.

Same, but was from an actual human who saw photos of my setup, even though the fence (and powered, solid gate) is ostensibly the same. Enthusiast saw the photos and were happy to help me out as they said it provides the same protection as a garage would. (moreso, given the gate in my case).

Shannons agreed with me, but they couldn't for policy reasons. Another option is Ryno, which offered a very similar quote - But they didn't have a km restriction because they generally know these cars won't do 50,000km a year, so they don't really bother with making you sit under a limit, as they said they know when they DO go out, they will go out and do 500km cruises, so limit based on km's doesn't make much sense, as they didn't want me to have to wait to 'spend' KMs.

I took the Ryno quote to Enthusiasts and asked them to match it, and they did. The first person I spoke to I wanted to increase my $ from 35k to 50k given current market and was told lolno. The second enthusiast person asked for name of first operator and time of call etc... so that was nice. Good human that 2nd time! Ask for Anne lol.

Hey all, I had a bit of a silly question. I am getting closer to buying my car, and was wondering to make sure the owner is the owner of the car I just need to check the rego paper right?

Also how does it work if 2 family members have the same first and last name? I've worked in a job where that was common. I guess I would check signature of driving license and one that the owner signed on the rego paper?

Also wondering if it's worth doing a written statement as well that they sold me the car and taking a picture of their driver license on the paper along with mine.

 

I think I've covered everything?

I'm going to give you the worst case, super duper rare, but still happens scenario. 

The car is parked up long term, maybe the owner is overseas then got stuck in covid isolation issues. In any case, the car has been sitting for months....

Someone notices the sitting car and casually tows it away to their mate who owns a car yard. The car yard processes paperwork and poof! The person who stole the car is now the "owner" on paper. They now have registration paperwork that is in their name and by all accounts is the same as everyone else's legitimate paperwork...

Our new friend sells the car ASAP to someone who has no idea the car was previously stolen. I mean, they have rego paperwork in their name, can prove their ID at the time of the sale, everything looks good right? 

Then our friend finally manages to get back into Australia... hang on, where's my car?

And now, the car has 2 legal owners. 2 people have paid for the car and both believe they are the owner. 

Welcome to local court to dispute the ownership. Please file all paperwork, see below.

Oh I forgot to add, I'm not trying to scare you Silviaz. Everything you said sounds like a good plan.

Once you have done all of that, trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, don't be scared to walk away and find another car. Just having a car in your name with the associated paperwork doesn't legally mean the ownership is 100% yours and cannot be disputed.

Thanks for letting me know. So the paperwork is essentially fake?

I was doing some research and seems like a bank cheque would be better than me paying them cash upfront then doing the paperwork incase they run off? lol.

1. Good pair of running shoes laced tightly

2. Stretch and warm up

3. Setup up 4 cameras to film event,  one strapped to head. Stretch again to be sure

4. Cross fingers

5. Hand over cash and do paper work, keep stretching whole time.

6. Drive off, spin bearing.

Or

6a, chase them down easily due to pre planning of runaway and try again.

 

 

I think that's it.

No, the paperwork is real. In my scenario, all of the paperwork was real. 

What I'm saying is this: 

Car is towed away/stolen. 

Real paperwork gets lodged, title of car is transferred into thiefs name.

Thief sells car, provides real paperwork to the buyer. 

Buyer lodges real paperwork transferring the car into their name. 

Previous owner of the car discovers their car has been stolen. Now there are 2 "owners" for the same car.

Ah ok, so they stole the original paperwork that was with the car. I thought the rego paper shows the name of the seller? I can see for my car it shows my details, address etc.

I just noticed I have multi rego papers, does it matter which one the seller gives or has to be the latest one?

Rego papers aren't proof of ownership. Pretty sure it says it on them

No, the only thing stolen was the car. 

There are many different ways to have a car transferred into your name WITHOUT using the rego papers your talking about. Obviously I'm not going to mention how it is done, I don't need this to be some Fraud 101 guide. 

What I am saying is, everything can look on paper to be perfect, but really it isn't. Trust your instincts and use common sense.

Ah ok I'll need to double check that but either way, I believe that's the right paper for the paperwork.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
