hi,
i was wondering roughly how much u guys paid for ur insurance. i went to MM they told me that the insurance for me will be abt 1k (under 1.3 saloon car) but at PI they told me it will be roughly abt 3k (under performance car).
thankz for ur help!

Cal

Really depends on your age and NCD. I'm with NTUC, early 30s and paying 2.4k insurance w/o NCD. I got from a PI btw so it'll be cheaper the next time round w/o the agent fee

rav969

just for u reference , I paid $980 with NTUC ( 50%) NCD. Excess $1500. Hope this help !

lowrider

I paid $1150 with 10% NCB with NTUC. Excess of $1500.

The SE that told you insurance below 1K just like 1.3 saloon car, ought to go back to school.

RX8 is not a saloon car, the value of the car is also considerably higher then
normal cars. as u see here, everyone's insurance here is in the region of
$1300 - $2400. put aside the NCD.

Emperor

$2.7k 20% NCD with 5% loyalty. $2k excess.

Hi guys,

The insurance that you guys have mentioned..would like to know wat's ur age range? Cos age is also a determinent for the insurance premiums. Any MM SE here can quote from your insurance "guidebook" for a 26yrs, 6 years driving experience, 30% NCB?

Terrance26

I pay 131 a month I am 26.

Aragosta

Are you from Singapore? Cos your location is TX?

coupe07

i quote for u lah.... ard 2k after ur 30% NCB. Insurance is from NTUC. Other insurance co. confirm higher.

Aragosta

Haha thanks...at least now i know the damage from insurance if i change to a RX8. By the way, heard that 4AT bo liat one...true or not? Would the drive be less "fun"? Would like to buy a 6MT but I frequently drive in my line of work and being stuck in the traffic is common place in Singapore. If AT then my gf can drive too haha.

Aragosta

Oh by the way...2k is with how much excess? If i increase the excess would the premium be lower?

coupe07

excess i tink 2k. CUn remember. If u increase excess, i wldnt noe abt the premium, bro....

Aragosta

Thanks bro, but anyway for the benefit of others, i went to find out for NTUC the discount if got increase in excess.

Increase by $500 - 8% discount off
Increase by $1000 - 12%
Increase by $1500 - 15%

I thought NTUC Income will not allow you to bring your car to non-authorised workshops for repair? Does NTUC have any workshops that can handle rotaries? Most of us get our cars from PI, and they have their own workshops for us. By insuring with NTUC will this void the warranty?

Emperor

I just had a taxi rear ended me. I will be sending it to my regular workshop which happens to be a NTUC authorised workshop.

Most workshops should be able to handle whatever repairs. If it involves doing the engine and such; its most probably unrepairable (its must be a serious accident to involve the internals).

Workshops should also provide a warranty on the repaired part. I doubt original warranty is void.

coupe07

so that was u..... the towtruck who was towing the taxi is mine........ the towtruck was telling me the taxi rear ended a white rx8..... he told me the number and i tot it was you... but dun wan to confirm with u.... scarly wrong number...

anyway, hope its nothing serious......

Emperor

So conincidental. When i was hit i was more heart ache than angry.

I am totally stationary at a u-turn outside allson hotel at victoria st when i was hit.

So the saying goes, no matter how safe you drive, people can still hit you.

BlackEight

bro,

the only thing that matters is you are ok!

so now got chance to change colour lah. Copper Red??? LOL!

if i was in your shoes, i will take that taxi driver and

watoke

Then our Emperor will not be sitting in his rx8 anymore, maybe in the CELL ...or maybe somewhere else ......hahaha

Emperor

I am fine except for my heart. My poor baby...

Luckily damage is limited to rear portion so total respray unneccessary. If i have to respray; i will get those multi layered colour coats. Or maybe pearl pink with hello kitty designs

I did not shout or bash the other 2 cabbies; i think its an accident and they did not want it to happen too. I am so surprise at my clamness too.
