LingLing Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 ok, SWAN is another insurance company, funny enough also don't need alarm but need garage. they told me 432 dollars per year. MEAN. 250 excess, 500 excess for stolen. one free glass per year if i needed. BUT all the insurance company will need to come and check my car out first. Also rang AA, the chick has no idea what I was on about.."toyota what?" what" "how do you spell trueno?" after half hour for taking my details down, I told her the car worth 30g, and told her is fully modified. but the engine is still like any 1.6 liter slow as... she went away to talk her supervisor. they pretty much said. no business with bling bling, what a waste of my time!!

0R10N Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah don't bother with any of the mainstream insurance companies. They would rather insure your grandmother's Nissan Micra than anything remotely sporty/modified. folks who are curious, there are some photos of the 86 in the latest Auckland monthly meet thread. I'd be keen to do some photographitizing of your car sometime Andy. Find a lush location etc like when I shot Al's old Century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 He was referring to purchasing all the bits. The car did not cost him that at all. Pics can be found in current auckland meet thread in Upper North Island section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 yeh, I was, I don't want to under value it, so i could buy another one for the claimed money. I would say 25g is probably the value,that should set me to buy a car from jap then mod to this state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 ummmm get it valued lingling, no point paying premiums only to find out the company will only pay for a standard car with the standard price, as per carjam.co.nz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 yeh, both companies I rang up wanted to come and value my car. So hard to find a flat with garage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you get an agreed value with classic cover (or similar) they should honor this should it come time to claim. That's the point of the insurance and they have realised that the risk of our cars being stolen when we keep them so carefully locked away in the garage 350 days of the year is minuscule, which is why they can charge so little. Who really knows what will happen when you do try and claim though, it's just one of those fun things that goes along with having vehicle/any insurance. From experience, classic cover will value a car from photo's, however they may take it a little more seriously when insuring for such a high sum, especially when it is on a theoretical replacement value for the car, not the actual market price.

Cullen Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 no one would provide a valuation at $25k or $30k for it. yes its nice, yes it may have cost someone that kind of money to build but no that is not how much it is worth on the market/would cost you to get another one. at the end of the day its your money but no insurance company will pay you out such a high value and if they feel you have over insured by a high amount they will get suspicious of your intentions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 yeh, Even after it got insured and alarm immobiliser etc, there is no way in hell I would let it out of my sight. for example I will not take it to town and park it at night period. would not park any off street car park on dominion road and go away to get a feed at the corner. only park it where I can still see it.
