Model: GOLF94A

[The_Hawk]

Just got the green slip for the VR6 sent out from my insurer as well as one from Allianz who it was with previously.

The Allianz one says Model: GOLF94A, although it does list it as a 1996... just curious, what does the GOLF94A signify?

Type 1H I could see, VR6 I could see, but GOLF94A??

[wayz]

Not entirely sure what it means but my MK3 is a 98 and my code is 95A???

[BlackVr6ix]

the code signify differing models. a mk1 diesel may be golf02A.

Its a easy way to keep keying in information faster, i for one (being a insurance broker) Love it hahaha

[bboyskidz]

does that mean that you are going to give us all free insurance?

[The_Hawk]

how about a special group buy

how about a special group buy

Hahaha if that means lower insurance costs, I'm in!

As for the OP's question, sorry no idea.

[BlackVr6ix]

I have just been running some numbers for insurance too...

My NSW CTP Green slip:

NRMA: $372
AAMI: $404
Allianz: $331
GIO: $500 odd!

Comprehensive:

NRMA: $1,345
Allianz: $910
GIO: $1,278 and this includes a 15% online discount + a discount for getting the green slip from them too


I'm starting to think Allianz may be the way to go for this car...

[bboyskidz]

handy to know.
i will be looking up allianz also.

has anyone had any experience actually dealing with them regarding an incident? (i.e. how easy do they pay up/how harsh are they on modifications)

[The_Hawk]

Thats an interesting question.

I wonder how they feel about lowering, exhaust work, etc etc...

Does that sort of general stuff keep it within their policy? You would think it would, but you never know.

I'm currently with NRMA, but I think that is set to change VERY soon.

[BlackVr6ix]

Allianz is great with euro cars, but they aren't big fans of mods.

If you PM me your basic details
name
dob
address
claims history
Mods/accessories etc

I can get a quote in my system (but cant really put it though) which will give you an idea of how much you SHOULD be paying.

[bboyskidz]

doesn't look like they are nice to young drivers either.

i've just got about 6 quotes, ranging from 1200 to 2000 but then allianz gives me a premium of $3,183.89 Annually. BlackVr6ix can you check it? PM sent

[The_Hawk]

Ouch, I'm glad I'm not being gouged by those sort of prices anymore.

Shannons.
You Crazy Cats.

The 94A is the year they created the listing on the RTA computer.
I often see a 1998 Golf with 95A on the papers.
I made the RTA create a rocco listing this year, so the Scirocco is an 07A even thought its a 1986

Very interesting on the insurance side of things...

Shannons:
$1155.80 @ $8,800 or ~ $96/Month
$1213.59 @ $10,000 or ~ $101/month

Just had a closer look at Allianz, for "Market Value" the price is $999 if I put myself at the only driver and $910 if I nominate my wife (who is 1 MONTH older). They don't seem to have an option for agreed value that I can see and they don't list the actual market value, although everywhere I have gone seems to be round the $8,800 mark.

They also have a question:
" Has your vehicle been modified in any of the following ways: engine, body/paint, suspension or wheels?*

So my VW genuine 16"s count as a mod... would have to ring them up to confirm since if you answer yes, it wont quote you. The really crazy part is I can add an accessory under "Other accessories" for $2,000 worth of Alloy Wheels and it doesn't bat an eyelid.

So Allianz = comes out to ~ $85 month including the wheels and windscreen cover.

I wonder what Shannons considers to be a modified car, saying yes in that box make it $1405 or ~$117/month which is where I am with NRMA.

Considering my car has:

Different leather seats, 16" VW alloys, fog lamps, pod filter and soon to be lowered suspension.

Is that really classified as modified? Suppose I will have to ring up and ask. Because if Allianz will cover it as is... well it will be hard to pass them up.
