Kia Stinger - Australia discussions (pre-release)

[Madman]

Don't want to pry, curious, but come much did the Insurance cost through SHANNONS, (Marco-Oz and Anthony)?

A lot more than I'd hoped but it's a means to getting the car at the moment so I'm jumping on it, a little north of $2K.
Once the other companies are on board i'm sure the prices will be more competitive.

For comparison I also got online quotes for the following cars from Budget Direct (all 2017);
SSV Redline $1,052
Passat R Line Wagon $980
C43 AMG $1,850

So the price is high (very high), although expensive, I have to say Shannons insurance is A+[/QUOTE]

Woops i think i pressed a negative icon on someones post? Sorry to whom ever, slip of finger. Anyway: Suncorp for me was as a daily drive $1,400 & infrequent driver eg. 2 days a week $1,100 Ive got 10 years up unblemished and im old ccccu....person 54. Can't talk more highly of Shannons. They talk the talk and walk the walk.[/QUOTE]

Been with AAMI for years and I'm 51 with only 1 claim so hopefully by the time I get my car they'll have made all of their profits from you lot. Just no-one stack one!!!!

Hopefully with all the driver assists we'll have no excuses to stack. Lets us know how aami is when you get the quote. More knowledge is useful for all

I don’t like your chances. Everyone knows Aussies are rubbish drivers!

 

[Madman]

No promises. Anyway, they told me there's a spare white one under the car cover in the showroom.....I wasn't allowed to look at it as apparently it's a "customers" car....wonder who's.... Mr T was out joyriding in the red one but I got to have a look when he brought it back.....

You know they put dogs on planes these days?

I didn't take any photos this afternoon as I think we've probably all seen 1000's of external shots......

So, let me know if you want to know anything specific tomorrow?

First impressions....It actually looks smaller than I thought it might which I really like. Also sits lower as well. The red colour (I've ordered DCB) is stunning. The black interior (I've ordered) is sexy as all @#$% and looks like the cockpit wraps around you. Umm, thats it so far.....more tomorrow morning.
