Insurance renewal

[FNFAST VR4]

Got the renewal for my insurance today, and it seems I didn't note that my car had a different front bumper, or the teins in the policy.

They are insisting that I give them a value for both... Anyone here have any idea what they are worth? The bumper has been bogged over so many times as it keeps getting hit on things... and I have no idea what the suspension is worth...

Any ideas?

[Gly]

around $500-$1000 for the teins (second hand value)
and maybe $500 for the bumper?

i wouldnt put it to high or they will screw you for more money, or raise your excess.

[bradc]

yeah that seems about fair to me as well.

[FNFAST VR4]

Cool, will see what they say and let you guys know...

[FNFAST VR4]

My premium last year was $83.53. They had dropped it to $69.70 per month, and with the mods noted it goes back up to $84.83. So not bad at all.

When I move to Onehunga, and its no longer garaged it goes up to $94.68 if I park it in the apartment complex, and $98.63 if I park it on the side of the street.

So not a bad result! Thanks for the input guys.

Hell that a lot of money, must be with ami, thats about what the quoted me
I'm with State Insurance full insurance costs me $34 per month at a replacement value of $11000.

Do you have a house insured with them or anything? You're a bit older than me too. I got to the magic 25 when everything is supposed to get cheaper, and promptly lost my licence hehe OOPS!

I was paying just under $80 a month through state, but with a massive excess. Then I lost my licence and they wouldn't touch me.

It's through Insure Direct (Inbroke) now and my excess is less than half what it was.

I think its insured for $16k? I might look at lowering that a bit.

we currently changed our insurance from state to our banks insurance which is state anyway? go figure, it works our cheaper this way. VR4 is insured for $12,000 and the misuses Toyota Cynos is insured for $9,000 together we pay $54 a month? excess is high for me, cos im not on full yet, and im not over 25?... 2 more years to go!

Nope nothing else just my car!

[Subaru ETA]

yeah helps when your over 25! i wont insue with stae coz they a pack of muppets

[DefeXion]

I'm with state on about 180 bux a month. Bunch of friggen ripoffs. Mine isn't even turbo, it's just a high risk car, they say. With my VR4 conversion coming up, I'm not sure if they will keep me. I'm thinking of changing to someone else aswell.

Is anyone here with pioneer? What do you think of them? My mate is suggesting them to me.

[bradc]

yeah pioneer is awesome. $513 for the YEAR on my ST-R and $1215 for the VR-4. They also quoted about $1200 for my 850CSi
