:shock: ouch!
Did you try shannons Peter?
It costs me $600 a year for full comprehensive to insure my gsr with an agreed replacement vale of $28,000, the only conditions are that it is stored in a lock up garage and not my daily driver.
I know age is a big factor in premium price,also your driving and insurance history. When I bought my triton I purchased through commercial asset purchase..as I use it for work.
It had to be fully insured for finance security and as I had never had insurance except for third party, the premium was going to be massive for comprehensive on a brand new vehicle.
I went through GIO ( who have since been taken over) and explained my situation, they told me that if I had ever used work vehicles and had never had an accident or infringement whilst using work cars and could get a letter from old employers proving this, it would show as a clean driving history.
I got a letter from my old employer stating the above and GIO instantly gave me a rating 1 policy, $550 to fully insure my ute for $35,000
It may be worth a shot to try this approach if it's applicable to you? I hardly ever used our work cars but it did not seem to matter to the insurance company.
