I know a large amount of you have already sorted out your insurance but for those still looking here is what I have found.

Based on: 25 year old, car kept in lock-up garage in "safe" suburb in Perth, WA. Sole driver. Full no claim bonus.
Mistubishi Lancer Evo8


SGIO:
Refused to quote at all... Reason is that they will very rare insure a Petrol Turbo car at all.


JUST CARS:
Based on RRP of $61,990 (will not insure the full price)
65% no claim
Premium per year: $1,608
Basic Excess: $300
Car (categorised as an import) excess: $1,000
Theft excess: $1,500
So full excess if the car was stolen is $2,800


SHANNONS:
1)
Based on $63,000
65% no claim
Premium per year: $2,379
Age excess: $600
Basic Excess: $500

2)
Based on $70,000 car (drive away price here in WA)
Premium per year jumps to: $3,200


RAC
Based on $70,000
55% no claim
Premium per year: $1,849
Age excess: $300
Basic Excess: $200

AS you may have guessed I have taken out the RAC insurance.

I hope this helps some one out there. If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Thanks

What is 'RAC' - is that like the NRMA in NSW?

Do they insure nationwide?

THX1138

RAC as far as I know it is the same as the NRMA in NSW. They are probably the largest insurer over here.

I had my previous cars insured with them. I personally have not had many problems, but I do know of people who have. I can't justify paying the extra $1400 to go with Shannons at the moment. Maybe down the track.

Also RAC are fine with car mods, as long as they are listed.

Oh, and they don't insure nationwide as far as I know. Sorry.
