Good quote. Agreed value or market price?

Agreed value... and if you do any mods just tell em, it wont increase your payments unless it greatly increases the value of the car.
If you can't be good, be good at it!!

I got a quote on a FTO that I was looking at for 10k ...

$938 through Young and Cool ... And that is with an accident (my fault on my bike - 5.5k damage) in 2005 ...

But you have to have it garaged, and that was not with it being driven every day ... I said that I would only drive to work about every second day... But I have security parking at work ...

Highest value any one will do for me is $18,000

Pays to shop around - Used to insure through Famous - $1400/year and if Car was stolen while not garaged - then $3000 excess - (ouch)

went to Dawes - lower excess ($500) and only 1K insurance per year

The other FTO is even less (as its only driven on Weekends) - so if you're not using it as a Daily Driver - make sure you tell them and save some money.

Worst quote was NRMA for 4.5K - Shannons wanted 1700!!!!

YIKES Aza - who you with??? (I'm over 30 as well and have lost demerits in the last 5 years)

Tanya do Dawes cover heavily modified cars?

Aza I agree with Tanya - you should be shopping around straight away for a better deal! My gf (<25) got a quote half that price for the same agreed value.

Both our cars are modified - mine, not too much - the race car - is modified a lot, Dawes were informed of all the modifications.
(List of mods can be seen on our website - too lazy to type them here :P )

http://www.motorsportprivateer.com.au/p ... mtg_item=6

Main thing is - that you tell them.

If you do contact Dawes - best person to talk to is Rodney.

PM Sent :D

Dawes will cover "Veteran, Vintage, Classic, Prestige, High Performance, Modified and Exotic Vehicles" (copied from their website - www.dawes.com.au)

For the price you're paying - I'd even give Shannons a go, they are very good - but not as cheap - but may be cheaper than what you're paying now as they do cover Agreed Value.

Shannons New South Wales
Call 13 46 46 - 7 days a week,
http://www.shannons.com.au/contactus/

Shannons actually recommended Rodney at Dawes to me when I was speaking to them.

Cheers
