I have no affiliation with either, just posting out of interest & sharing.

Interested to see if they sell at that price. When I went to insure mine about a year ago I asked for cover up to $20,000. The insurance agent (Shannon's) reckons the value of my car would only be $12,000 which wrinkled me a bit considering the effort and cost I had gone to.

Ouch Simeon, good thing you weren't planning on selling then. Have you got a blog etc for your car?

[Simeon]

Link in my signature. I assume it's still there, can't see on the mobile version.

Simeon, $12k that's ridiculous, my Tii is insured for 3 x that, let's see what happens at renewal, sometimes they say it needs to be assessed so I just spam them with pics and hey presto the renewal all turns up, I leave it on DD so it just rolls over, that way they get their little policy increase and I seem to get cover. I tried the NRMA years ago bloody hopeless.

Is there a current Australian insurance thread? Because I'm about to embark on this journey.

Shannons have been good to me to date

Hi Simeon

 

I phoned Shannons on the Monday just gone to up my insurance for my 02. I was insured for $10,000 and they agreed to $25,000 over the phone. They mentioned that market prices have moved that way to justify the rise.

Perhaps I need to try them again. Certainly I don't doubt their good service but was disappointed that there guy was so convinced with the $12K valuation after only a few seconds on google.
