Owning S2000 parking outside daily/nightly

[ydrift]

Hi guys, just wondering do any of you guys own S2000 and park outside in the driveway nightly.
just wondering how the condition of the roof is, can it handle rain and sun. any problems.

just wondering because i only have a single garage and my dads car is in there nightly. IF i was to ever own one i would have to park out side.

the car will shrink if it gets in contact with water

[crx_boy7]

its made for these conditions

Roof will fade in sunlight...

Rain no problem at all though:thumbsup:

[marabaan]

the car will shrink if it gets in contact with water

and make sure u hand wash it

Your roof fading would be the least of your worries. Make sure you get a good paging alarm system.

couldn't find a thread related to this matter exactly so ill just post something here.
so i was bored at work during lunch break so i thought i'd get a quote on what it would cost to insure an S2K and boy was i surprised....thru AAMI it would cost me $9009. yes, that is NOT a typo, $9009 (insured for a value of $32k)
i know justcar is a part of AAMI but they only quoted $3k (why the huge difference?)

[Zilli]

Because JustCar's underwriting strategy is aimed at high risks

they can afford it on that basis

i guess it pays to shop around, i almost fell off my chair when the quote came out

[aaronng]

Ryno's quote has the condition that you MUST garage your car at night.

thats pretty good. im paying 2k for mine, and would like to pay less, but never really heard about ryno..

anyone have any issues with them? ie. payouts etc..

[chicken8]

gexer on s2ki just totalled his s2k

i introduced him to ryno

he was with them for perhaps 10weeks b4 he totalled his car. got paid in 3 weeks from the time he called them to make a claim

insured for agreed value of 41k and his premium was around 1700 i believe

[ap]

i just rang ryno.. apparently they don't cover for people under 25 anymore

[chicken8]

but im under 25

[ap]

yea i said i know of someone who is insured and under 25.. they said they don't do it anymore!

shame! justcar quoted me 2700ish and im 20

[jeffske]
