i doubt aami will touch you, they usually reccomend Justcar, which is a seperate division of AAMI.

I know that in my case AAMI has got me limited to two mods and ive only got a povo pack AU.

I am 23 and with aami.

1996 EL Fairmont Lowered (king Spring Lows) Tinted windows, 17in wheels, CD player and aftermarket towbar. Everything else is standard.

They inspected the vehicle and were happy about the mods. Just make sure anything you do you tell them and they enter it in the computer.

yeh that would be fine. went in yesterday and was told. they dont insure people under 25 with more than 1 modification. modification being things like, exhaust, lowered and mags.

i think often you can get away with having mags as well tho.

If you have any problems then PM me and you can use my car as an example. I went to the North Geelong branch and they told me face to face it was fine and my insurance statement has all mods included on it.

From that list you have there
Mods would be that it is lowered.
Accessories would be Tinted windows, 17 in wheels, cd player and towbar.

Therefore you only have 1 mod in that list

I tried to get a quote for a 2005 XR6T for $28,000, I am 22.

Got this response

"We were unable to offer you an automatic online insurance quotation due to the following reasons: Type of vehicle"

XR6T's obviously have trouble written all over them

If you were given an online quote and it was acceptable to you, just pay it ONLINE. There's no need to ring up AAMI or go into see them if they've accepted you online. (unless they have stipulated that you have to contact them personally before any insurance is offered)

As I said, the facility is there to pay online once they have accepted you, and it is cheaper than over the phone, or personally attending their office. Just make sure that your answers are honest though.

I live on Mount Tamborine where their is no such thing as car theft or any other crime. I am over 40, yet when I phoned AAMI for a quote on my F6 they said they don't insure cars with turbos.

Maybe they differentiate between XR6T and F6 ... who knows how they work these things out. Anyway, I insured with Suncorp - new car replacement for first two years, one free windscreen per year - $860.

I called them when I bought my NA XR6, and they still didn't want to know me.

Called Just Cars and was told $4011 a year. I laughed and hung up.

Are you serious? That is a joke. I paid about $700 less and my car is faster and more expensive to repair. Plus I was 19 at the time.

Do you live in a high theft area and/or are you sure they didn't mistake it for an XR6T?

Your reading too much into it.
It is quite possible that other people under 30 are in actual fact insured with them. The more likley scenario is perhaps that person spoke to a new customer service person that had not correctly checked thier guidelines.
It's basically the other persons good luck and your bad luck. Could also be there were other considerations, ie number of policies, history, etc.
Hell it could even be that the customer blatanly lied to them. *shrugs*

yeah i think there is a little more to it than postcode.i asked to speak to several other people , managers ect, not just the lady that answered the phone and they all stated that there was no way anyone under the age of 30 would be insured with them( with an xr6t).anyway got a better quote from someone else so @#$% aami.

Try Vigil I just got my V8 Fairlane insured with them for half the price of Just Cars. You have a manager who is the only person you talk to which I think is great. Mods are unlimited but must be done by qualified mechanic.

I just bought a xr6t. I'm 24 and AAMI wouldnt touch me. No one will insure me exepct for NRMA ($2800) and JustCars ($2200). I went with Justcars in the end.

Hi,

I am insured with AAMI. I am 26 and drive a V8. I find them the best value of all insurance companies. The only thing I have on my policy is that no one under the age of 25 can drive the car- being a V8.

I asked them about Just Car Insurance (just out of interest) and they said my driving record was "too good" to qualify for that (no tickets, no loss of license, only 1 minor accident years ago) and they were happy to insure me.
It must come down to high theft/low theft suburbs!

cheers,
Paul

I'm 29 ... and I got a quote for a Turbo Territory GHIA ... and it worked out cheaper than my base model TX Territory N/A ... all this through NRMA ... go figure.

Both just under the $1,000 p/a mark.

I live in Sydney NSW as well.
