    While I found BudgetDirect's pricing amusing,
    the main thing that I was miffed about was that Skoda had forward my details to BudgetDirect
    2012.1 Skoda Octavia VRS DSG Wagon - Carbonio cold air intake and pipe - HPA Motorsports BBK 355mm rotors 6 pot calipers
    APR Stage II ECU - APR 3" exhaust down pipe & high flow catalyst
    APR/HP Roll bars - Eibach springs and Bilstien shocks
    Supaloy lower control arms - Enkei 18*8 Wheels

    Did they or is the RTA making some money on the side? You never know who is making a buck from your info. I had Coles insurance after me last week.

    Did you take the lifetime replacement with new if written off? It only added around $25 to my premium with Suncorp so I felt it was worth it. Can surely find a rotten big gum tree to park it under when it gets old.....

    Mines a MY11 so was too old for that option, still a 35k payout would get me into a MY13 demonstrator!

    I'm totally baffled by this insurance biz. All with AAMI, I have had house & contents for 11 years and 3rd party property on the 2 previous cars for over 20 years with maybe two small claims dating back 15 years - on rating 1 for life for as long as I can remember. Paying $1150 per annum for the 2010 Octavia Scout, garaged in Preston, vic. My brother pays about $800 with AAMI for his new GTI with the same company, garaged in F'field 6km away!

    My sister in Warburton pays about $750 for her Mazda 3 2.0L diesel. I don't get it. When I asked them for justification I was given a spiel about 'very powerful car' (103kw!) and 'VW - very expensive to fix' (so why the cheap deal on the GTI???!!).

    I reckon there's a lot of BS in it. reading these prices I'm tempted to go elsewhere for the car.
