Celica Insurance help? Options

[bdog_v]

Ha guys I just bought my 94 celica hatchback with 130,000 miles and am trying to get a good deal on car insurance. THe place I usually go to doesn't look so good. I am 30 years old and have a totally clean record.

-Just Liability was $198 for 6 months

or

-Liability with collision was $624 for 6 months!!!


-When I asked why it cost so much for collision she said that it *probably* was due to the fact that it has 2 airbags....and they can cost $2,000 to replace a piece!!!

-Wouldn't a safety device be more of a benefit than a negative for car insurance?

-I wanted Liabillity and collision but at that rate I can't afford it.....

-What do you guys pay? ANy ideas??? Got a good place to get a quote from?

Wow some of those prices are rediculous.
Well for me here in Sydney.
I pay $AUS600/yr for third party insurance which only covers
the other parties car, not mine.
Or I could pay $AUS1350/year for full comprehensive insurance
which covers everything.
Clean record, under 25 and the car is valued at $AUS18,000

That is about right for us Aussie's!

I am currently paying $1,450 for comprehensive insurance (65% NCB, clean record, U25, live in one of the worst areas for theft) which is fairly expensive, however, not as bad as when I was with one of the larger insurance companies and was paying $3,500 per year (that is also with the 65% bonus - do the math for the full premium)!
