Got a new car, my dad was insuring it for me. I had just read this whole thread and was like lol never going with state then. Dad rings the insurance company trying to insure my car (i dont know what insurance company hes with) and they call me because my car is under my name and they need my permission to talk about it with him etc. So im like cool, then the person is like "hello its blahblahblah here from STATE insurance........"

One piece of advice. Make sure the insurance is in your name, and you are named as the main driver.

If you're not, and there's a claim, there's a good chance it will be declined due to non-disclosure. The cover will be more expensive, but otherwise you're actually just throwing money away - and if you want to do that, throw some over here ;)

Yeah we tried to do that but they wouldn't because of my age for some reason, so we had to do it under his with me being a driver. And i have a $1000 excess.

They're pretty strict considering its only an AE101 1.6L 4AGE which has an alarm with an immobilizer.

Yep - also that engine doesn't help, 20 valve, vvt, all adds to the risk profile. Hell if was me, I wouldn't want that liability on my books.

As I said, make sure you are noted as the MAIN DRIVER, not just a driver.

Big difference come claim time.

Yeah its 20v vvt but its only like 157hp, probably at the crank not even the wheels. I could understand if it was like a 2l turby but a naturally aspirated 1.6?

Oh well, and Xt im pretty sure im a main driver, will check though. Cheers.

Its still a risk which the insurance company will have to pay out for...

But the them the real exposure is of you fucking up a merc or some other really expensive motor through inexperience and irresponsibility. The cost of replacing your car is fuck all int he scheme of their risk assessment.

Sadly, they treat VVT in the same way that they treat Vtech - barge pole.

Young fuckwits and cunty cars...yep...it's your age indeedy :)


Love my car. Old fuckwit and decent car. No need to speed however, just going 50 gives us a buzz.

Oh yeah, have insurance anyway, much as I hate the bloodsucking bastards (sorry XT, it's how I feel...are you well off,or poor?)

Damn, I just did the State online quote thing and it came out cheap as.

And it allowed me to set my own value for the vehicle rather than market value?

Lol at the "club auto" insurance ad advertising cheap insurance for modified cars when they have a stock Lotus Elise in the background. Would definitely put me off them straight away if i was looking for insurance with a modded car.
