thats very impressive.

does a crash add more to your premium than losing your license?

and say if you were hit from behind. (not your fault) would your insurance still go up the same rate if it was your fault?

I'm glad your telling the truth. I'm sure that some people would bend the truth.

Lets face it, cost of parts, the mark ups, labour, respray etc it will all add up and make it quite expensive!!

I'm fairly sure the no claim bonus goes down if it wasn't your fault... but I think the premium will stay the same.

my premium will sky rocket lol and my no claim bonus goes down too.

Not sure about whether it adds more than losing your license though.

$2500 is about average too

Funny how my WRX costs $1100 a year to insure to a value of 21K and my XR6T costs $880 to the value of 45K.... No one wants to steal a boost taxi i guess :P

yeh nah RAC know i hav lost my license, and car is insured for $35K

Get a workshop that actually knows about cars and can put it up on a hoist.

Quoted for truth!

"shes got a loose terminal on the battery" is not greater then "shes low on comp in piston 5, and you can see under the car where its been repaired from a big front ender"

... thats from a GTR a friend looked at buying.

guess which one was RAC and guess which one was a workshop!!
