insurance for a 20yr old with a V8

[flyen]

i've just bought my first v8 car

I got big plans for it with a full engine rebuild or replace with another 5L, respray and interior and mags. If you think im talking crap have a look at my previous ride that i modded, this rebuild will happen.

What insurance should i get for a car that i'm going to mod this much because when i finish it will be worth ALOT more than what i paid for it.

btw the car is a VN Clubsport

just cars would be the only one.
and also when i had it it cost be $1265 a year to insure ( in its present condition )
good luck and see u on the cruise!

i'm only looking at getting 3rd party fire and theft untill the rebuild is complete
rang just car and they quoted me $415 per year for 3rd party Fire & Theft

3rd party fire and theft for $415 is bad enough

im 20 years old and I pay $900 a year with full comp which covers my VX Clubsport body kit, sound system and my 19" wheels. Now I got my 4.2 the insurance doesnt need to know about it

btw im with RACQ

My insurance for the 355 is $1280 a year through CGU who is sub contracted through the finance company. Thats with all mods apart from driveline with agreed value of 18k.
All my dailys so far are $260 a year for 3rd party, fire and theft which is through SGIC.

mine is $1450 a year for full comp, mags insured, sound system insured. The hefty title "supercharged" contributes to that a bit. I am 21 years old.

Well, I am 20 but I've got a clean record, but out of the 4 V8's I owned in the last two years, my totally stock as a rock VR clubbie is the most expensive on insurance.
It costs me $350 odd for third party, fire and theft. But to go to full comp I would be looking at more like $2000 or even more. It's a joke and if its not the gov't rippin us off on rego and fuel, it's a bloody insurance company . Forget Saddam, the real criminals are here in our own country, I say.

One thing to watch for with Just Cars though is that the fire and theft only covers you for $5,000 max. I pay a bit more for RACQ but my car is insured third party fire and theft for just under $11,000. You don't wanna pay for something that aint gonna cover you anyway dude. :thumbsup:
