Insurance - how good is this!

[Piotr]

I'm 32 and pay under $400 full insurance with racv including windscreen

option not sure about mods will have to ring and find out but don't have any

yet.

Haha took everyone a while! Do you still have the Nagari? Got any pics?

also, whether or not you have finance owing on the car makes a big difference

polos would probably be one of the cheapest turbo/sports cars to insure (low crash/theft rates) so all you guys paying 2k a year need to shop around

i'm on a lease so i use their insurance, but even getting a quote for curiositys sake, i got 2 quotes well under 1k. (26/m/campbelltown way)

Statistics show a rise of 20% in vehicle write-offs when the vehicle is under finance, hence the extra cost.

Can't afford the repayments? Just torch it!

Millions!!! This was taken back when Jesus played fullback for Jerusalem




And the engine that went into it after I threw a rod on the old 351



Still didn't stop it from being the biggest piece of sh*t I've ever owned. Glad to get rid of it. Broke down at least twice a week, handled like crap (spun it 4 times at a club meet at Oran Park including coming onto the straight!). It wasn't cured until I cut out the original rear end with an anglegrinder and fabricated a 4 bar rear end with panhard rod from scratch. Had to relocate the steering rack to fix the massive bump steer too.

If you ever gat the chance to buy one run, don't walk, as fast as you can away from the poor fool that's trying to get rid of it.

Give me a GTI anyday.

Cheers

I have only just changed from AAMI this week. It was for a couple of reasons. Firstly the fact that there is little or no say in what repairer will score the job if repairs (panel etc) are needed through a claim. Secondly their prices have become ridiculous, approx 900 per year (without any optional policy extras like hire car, windscreen etc) with the ecu reflash listed, 35 and never had a claim.

So I shopped around and ended up with GIO for about 575 with the reflash listed and every extra they offered. Very happy indeed.

On a previous car I have had no problems with JustCars-I could choose which repairer got the job and it was the one JC were wanting to go with too.
I haven't had much to do with AAMI directly but so far they have messsed up my existing policey but all is sorted now.
