Michael. 2313 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-946199398.htm When people try sell project cars that are barely projects. An E30 with no engine and 2JZ supplied with no engine mounts or ANY key work done does not constitute being a project with a few things left to be done. That's just a collection of incompatible parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2425 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 So this is scary. just tried to insure my new Suzuki Swift Sport, all was going well until it came time to list the modifications. So, to be clear the mods lists are adjustable suspension, exhaust, pod filter and wheels. Nothing too serious. That all went well, other than the stupid woman not knowing what a modified intake was, but then suddenly im slapped with a $2000 excess because my car is "excessively modified". When questioned they claim its system imposed and nothing they can do about it. When i questioned why out of all my cars insured with them i have never had a special excess, she didnt want to hear about it. I pushed further and demanded to speak to her supervisor because she was just arguing with me. She refused, telling me that he would say the same thing. After much argument i finally get put through to a supervisor, who indeed does proceed to tell me the same thing (obviously in the 5 minutes on hold she brought him up to date), but when i questioned him about why i have never had this excess before, he decided to do some further digging. As it turns out, the reason i didnt have a special excess on my previous cars? because they never noted all the modifications at all. My golf, which had a modified exhaust, adjustable suspension, carbon front and rear, and tints was listed as just an exhaust and lowering. My turbo integra type r, which i advised of each and every part was listed as alloy wheels and exhaust (not even turbo). Basically, if i had stacked any of them, or had them stolen they would have had grounds to void my claim on the basis i never declared the modifications. Essentially what it came down to, is apparently 4 modifications is enough to increase the performance of a suzuki swift to the point where it is racekar and high risk and all my previous cars have not had their modifications correctly declared. My partner is now arranging to speak with a broker and i will be taking ALL my insurance (both cars and contents) away from STATE INSURANCE and having them correctly insured elsewhere as i cannot trust State to have competently insured me. This is just a warning to make damn sure you're insured correctly. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2156 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 State have been horrific for many years, back when I was a teenager, I had my skyline insured under my mothers policy, with me as a registered driver. Had a woopsie, rear end a crappy old galant. Skyline broke a headlight, Galant was written off. Insurance all went through fine. 1 month later, State sent me a letter saying they were taking me to court for insurance fraud, along with a bill for $8000. Much legal shenanigans later, I didnt pay, and am blacklisted from state insurance. Wouldnt touch them with a barge pole either. I used to work for a panel beater in Hamilton, they refused to do work for state insurance as state never paid what it actually cost to repair cars. FYI, Im insured through AMI, who gobbled up CLIC insurance (modfied cars), and they have been shweet as to deal with, home/contents & 3 cars, including old swapped engine coilovers etc E30, no complaints.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 STATE INSURANCE have a search under the general section of the forum for insurance stuff.
