but now i pay $900 for full comp on my s15.. go the ADM cars haha
sigh... wtf?? your under 25? and u got quoted $900.
Im 21, i was gonna buy a S15, the only thing that stopped me from getting it is the $4500 insurance quote i got. thats with me living in a SAF subarb, always garaged when at home, when im at work its in a FENCED off carpark which is always monitered, and u get $900 lol fark.
SHANNONS - I don't know why people assume they don't insure under 25s, cos they do. their conditions are simply that u must own your car for more than 12 months so you "have enough experience with a high performance (pfft) vehicle"

In my experience, you're almost always guaranteed to get different opinions if you call up several times (not just Shannnons). That's about the only advice I can give.
But at the end of the day insurers aren't obliged to offer insurance and you may just be speaking to someone who's having a bad day...

I don't assume. I was told that by various people including 2 seperate happy, well mannered shannons employees on the phone. Whether or not any of the afore mentioned have a clue what they are talking about? That's another matter
