Hey guys,
Just signed up through Dawes motor underwriting group who deal
specifically with imports and welcome any modifications done to your FTO.
Their only pre-requisits is that your over 25 and that you havn't had a car stolen in 10 years

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.

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 ...

you should try to get Insurance for GPVR with agreed value of $20'000 I pay $268 a month and thats over 30 garaged no prangs or lost points and no claims in the last ten years.
Highest value any one will do for me is $18,000
not happy

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.

Try
Young and Cool & Just cars... Just cars might be good for ya, as you have had no accidents ... It was going to cost me almost 2k through them but that is based on my history ...

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
)

Main thing is - that you tell them.
If you do contact Dawes - best person to talk to is Rodney.

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
