They won’t cover Porsche windscreen replacement but happy to cover regular glass and I pick up the rest of the tab. Seems okay, I don’t a squeaky clean history. At least you can replace a totaled car at that value. Interesting they won't play when it comes to the windscreen - there's no sensors in them, I wouldn't have thought they were super expensive?

I recently replaced the windscreen in my GTI - $850 for genuine. Fella said a genuine Porsche screen is 2k-ish. He said he did a new Lambo 2 weeks prior, screen was 17k. Ouch.

Fishcop Posted 25January, 2022 Report Share Posted 25January, 2022 Just renewed my insurance on the 996 C4S again with Enthusiast - I didn't shop around this year as I was happy with the premium of $1175 on an agreed $115k. I'm restricted to 4,000 kms for the year (which I won't get near). On the windscreen subject - we picked up a new Volvo XC60 for 2021 and passing a Hansons truck in November, it spat a blue metal rock out of its dog into the windscreen and destroyed it. NRMA has the policy on this car and I fortunately ticked the windscreen replacement box... $2300 for a genuine replacement! The windscreen guy mentioned it was a tough job and the sensor array in all these modern cars is a nightmare (this one has radar, wipers, collision avoidance/self steering cameras etc...). They had dramas calibrating the computers afterwards as they didn't have Volvo specific software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine93 Posted 13September, 2022 Report Share Posted 13September, 2022 Hey all. Its that time of the year again for my insurance renewal and I'm at a bit of a loss for the 2022 agreed value for my car, given prices seem to have jumped again! The car is a 1997 Arctic Silver, Black interior 993, manual, 2 owner, 120kms, factory turbo twists (option), sunroof, never crashed, full Porsche service history from new. Prices seem to be ranging between $180k - and mid 200k's for 993's at the moment so a consensus from the PFA brains trust will certainly give me a realistic value. Currently insured for $160K which I think is unders. Any suggestions appreciated Thanks Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeatesy Posted 13September, 2022 Report Share Posted 13September, 2022 I think you should be able to get it insured for somewhere between 200-230k nine93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is with 2 other cars insured on the policy. Restricted mileage would only save about $5/wk, so I was happy to pay that for anytime usage seeing as I enjoy driving it so much.

edgy Posted 27September, 2022 Report Share Posted 27September, 2022 Appropriate bump... my renewal came in for the RS, I was gobsmacked TBH... lowering the insured value by $20k, increase my premium by $1500, then slapping me with $8500 excess due to claims history... This is with Porsche insurance. I understand I had two claims in 2021 (both involved reversing in a car park in a Macan) so I am 1) not sure how that risk is associated to a car that never goes to a car-park and only is allowed 24 days use P.A. (it sees half of that) and 2) I made those claims prior to the current insurance period I am on right now, so IMO if it were due to my claims history it should have went up last year. I dont have the golden handshake with Shannons and frankly found them to be terrible when I was with them in the past... it is disappointing as Porsche insurance has been good to me to this point. Guess I am shopping around now? More to come.... sjm and Fishcop 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I am shopping around now? More to come.... Seems a bit harsh I agree. My policy is with Shannon's, its actually up for renewal and they've just sent the new policy details, the agreed value is the same (some have gone up marginally) and I've always found them good to deal with from a claims lens. For what it's worth I've just added two vehicles to the existing policy and it was straight forward and the premium's and excess across the total vehicles covered on the policy were fine, highest excess is ~ $1,500 which is on my 911. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
