VR6 insurance?

[D.I.T]

Hi fella's,

Who are you guys insured with and what are you paying? I got quoted about $1100 from Just Car Insurance for a 95 VR6!!! I have had full comp for the past 8 years with AAMI and have never had a claim!

A bit steep i think seing as the car only cost me $3500!

Anyone find cheaper insureance?

im with shannons. i pay abour $650 i think. but im an old bastard :)

AAMI used to insure me for about $750 - 800 i think when i first got the car tho. I was about 27 then tho.

thats for rating 1 too

[DubSteve]

I'm 20 but Just cars quoted me 2700 for my dub with a list of mods:( Thats for Full Comprehensive.

[Tim]

why would u be looking at just cars anyways? its not like a vr6 is a crazy jap import. ive rang a few companies in the past about insuring it and none of the mainstream companies have ever had an issue with it. I have had quotes over $1200 tho.

I was ringing different places getting quotes.

[D.I.T]

All my quotes have been over the $1000 mark with all companies!

I turned 27 in December and also am rating 1!

according to the AAMI website its about $800? but thats registered with them here in carlton. I had mine insured as being in frankston a few years ago. And i know it was substantially cheaper !! but frankston is my mailing address for everything. so yeah.. maybe im dodgy :P

[Tim]

i just tried it for frankston. there we go $647.. all u need to do is move down there. and its all good! this is for a 27y old btw

[BlackVr6ix]

its because its a v6 in a small hatch, its a rating nightmare.

mines ~1300 with shannons from memory. 22 and one at fault in the last 5 yrs.

I'm an insurance broker during the day, if you guys are desperate for a quote let me know. We don't really deal with cars but i still have access to the product.

Thomastown is not the best area to live in when it come's to car insurance!

====================
My Ins. cost is $550/yr with NRMA for a 2006 Polo GTI. But I'm checking with Shannons (if they ever answer my query).

yeah with shannons if u get knocked back or a bad quote first time round try again later some of their phone monkeys are a bit fickle.

when i mentioned to them i was already insured but unhappy with the company they asked what i was paying and offered to beat it. But yeah. if they ask the question are u an ethusiast. YES YOU ARE. and YES youre a member of car clubs and u like to attend their events and stuff.

One operater rejected me for a quote on a porsche 944 S2 that i was thinking of purschase. and then one guy was happy to quote me on e 944 Turbo S that i come close to buying.. Its all over the place.

shannons also offer free windscreen per year and the option to pay a bit extra and keep your wreck if something goes pearshaped. They are also really mod friendly.

[BlackVr6ix]

the buy back of a wreck is the reason im still with shannons, i could get my insurance cheaper but noone else offers that benefit.

[evorobin]

SGIC were cheaper than shannons for me.

Sweet jesus you guys are getting hammered!

I'm with RAC (WA's section of RACV), car port, 25yo driver, good surburb, theyre aware of my zorst, wheels and doof doof... $550 odd a year.

[Tim]

yeah with insurance it really depends on where u live. I can imagine that WA roads are less busy yes? So less chance of having an accident.

[MattyT]

I suppose you could say that. Definitely nothing like Sydney roads! :o
But theres still plenty of morons on the road!

As a comparison however, a WRX over here will land a $1000 insurance bill easily.
