Thread: Twice my age, crosseyed and can't hold her fluids in but ain't she sweet

oh... pfft! Disregard last!

Mark - Sorry to hear about your rego troubles (had those :s), especially before the show...

Sorry to hear about all your insurance troubles too (DEFINITELY have those - paying $2208 comprehensive + $650,000,000 Green Slip AAGAGHAHAGADSD&*()). What can I say? I like to burn the most fulliest slick donuts in my Suzuki Swift :s

Anyway, just dropped in too say (ignoring the rest ) everything looks great, and I am - as always - remarkably jealous.

Btw. Congrats on the name - it's ace.

Allianz is excellent, in my experience. When I bought my Peugeot 306GTi6 (167bhp naturally aspirated, just had to mention that...) I had a bloke back into me in the first couple of weeks, and then another bloke ran into the back of me in a multi-car pile-up (which I thought I had survived by stopping without hitting the car in front...) a couple of weeks after that. Allianz paid out without the slightest hitch on both claims on a brand new insurance policy.

Shonky, insurance on cars which are under a very significant value ($10k at least - probably $20k) is simply a bad investment. Third party property damage is cheap and a good investment, I think. But paying $1000 per year for something which if you ever claim will only amount to a few thousand is very bad business (unless you're a very bad driver, but then that won't work in the long run because they won't insure you...).

Insurance is a racket. Like any racket you need to be really prudent about how you interact with it.

Cheers,
Lane.

Unless:

a) Your quote for Comprehensive insurance is actually CHEAPER than TPP. If you can get it, why not? (Gus - with GIO before they decided to axe their historic program)

or

b) You want to put your vehicle on Historic Rego. It is a requirement of historic rego in NSW that the vehicle be comp insured. (Ambrose will be going onto historic when his rego is up in March)

What a stupid rule!

Time to move back to WA I think Shonks

Cheers Charlie

Haha!

Ah, I see. Well, Chazza's got the right idea, then.

When you are on Historic Rego, the comprehensive policy is VERY cheap.
I renewed the policy (GIO) on my Series 1 in June , & it cost $56.25 because the risk is less as the vehicle is driven less frequenty.

The rego (including CTP) was $53.00, so unless it's your only form of transport, Historic Rego is fantastic!

Mark.
