I was looking to import a GTiR, which I have found but insurance is really starting to get annoying.

My first bet was SGIO as I heard they do some imports and they said they would only insure the car for market value ($10,000 - yeah right thats all its worth) and the premium would be $5,000 year.

After telling SGIO to love the **** I set about rining Famous Insurance and apparently they don't insure people under 19 years of age ? Robyn said she would have to refer it to the manager and I would have to call back :)

Any other companies that will insure imports in Perth ? Is it worth going to a broker and what are the costs for their services like?

Cheers

J.

Heya dude!

I'm with RAC but managed to get in before they started going strict o what imports to insure....

Your best bet is doing a search through WA threads for each thread in regards to insurance (belevie me there has been plenty of em!) from there have a ring around.... if no luck then perhaps give shannons insurance a call. Yeah I'd say with A broker you might end up paying just that little bit more.....but could be worth it in the end!!!!!

My friend greg never insured his 300zx...... about 4 months ago smashed it in Nbridge!!! I bet he wishes now he had insurance!

Hmmm. Sounds odd. Speak to g0df4ther, he is thru famous, i forget how old he is.

I am also through famous, but I'm 20 :) (but still a 16yr old at heart)

Good luck mate.

I'm with a broker called cgu along with a couple of my mates who are also with tha same broker and they got me a quote of $600 a year and thats when I was 17 so I thought that was ***in awesome lol, mind you its insured in my dads name with me as a secondary driver :)

Im 19 and have a GTS and Famous said they would insure me for around $2500 which is the best i can find so far so im probably gonna go with them. The car is a non turbo but (but will be getting a turbo when my insurance goes down), so i dont know if they will insure you for a turbo but im pretty sure they will if you have a clean record.

Tell us what you find if you go through a broker coz i was thinkin about doing that aswell:)

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
