  • First Surf bought - Insurance woe

    Found and purchased my first surf, 2nd gen 3L SSRX - Ltd
    I'll be picking it up on saturday so pics to follow

    Just thought i'd share with you guys a conversation as best as I remember it with an insurance moron..

    1 guy phoned me when I registered for quotes from specialist import insurance companies, niche market stuff, who it turned out was some chancer from a.n.other company that I tried doing online, conversation went thus...
    Me – Its a 3L Diesel, automatic, Hilux SURF
    Moron – So a Manual 4Runner
    Me – No its the Japanese version, the SURF, 4Runner is the UK version, this is an import.
    Moron – I’ll say its a 4Runner as thats the nearest option.
    Me – Then you may as well call it a Ferrari as its a different vehicle and the insurance will be void.
    Moron – this is just for quotation purposes, I can change it later.
    Me – why not change it now to give me a correct figure ?
    Moron – hold the line I’ll just get the quotes for you.
    **10 minutes of silence**
    Moron – Hello, the best I can do is through Aviva, but they wont quote for imported vehicles
    Me – You're a D***!!
    **I then hang up !!**


    I have since found a company that actually knew what they were talking about

    Get used to it. If you search insurance on the forum you will find companies recommended one year, slated the next! This year I'm giving Liverpool Victoria a thumbs up and slating Sureterm

              "Quote me happy"

              "It's a what?"

              "Computer says no"
