Australian Marketplace

[twilightprotege]

Hey guys,

I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of what company we work for and if that company can do any special deals for us all? You never know, might save us a few dollars here and there.

So all, if you like and can, post what deals you can do....I'll start


I work for Suncorp. I can usually arrange $50 off normal car insurance premiums Australia wide.

I am a mortgage broker.

I have 30 different lenders (one of them is Suncorp Metway ) and I don't charge my clients for professional services.

For members of this site I will offer a $100 cash-back on settlement out of my commission for deals over $150k.

At work they call me a computer technician (this is an employer term)

would be happy to help out on computer purchases if possible

i work for OAMPS Insurance brokers

I probably can charge NIL or a discounted broker fee depending on size of business.

I work for Suncorp. I can usually arrange $50 off normal car insurance premiums Australia wide.

so twilightprotege, when you say "normal car insurance", do you mean non-modified cars? do you insure cars with minor mods like mags and springs? just wondering coz i need to find a new insurer soon.

Hi all, i work for Tenix, nothing much i can offer besides legal advice on Road Safety. Thought i'd join in too.

hey lazer, dunno if you know about this but i've heard stories about cops pulling hotted up cars and giving them fines for each mod they had on their car - intake, suspension, exhaust, etc. a guy at the mazda dealer said this happened to his cousin who owns an sp20 (i wonder if he's on here) and that the fines added up to >$1000! its probably up to the cop's discretion, whether to pull you over or not, but its scary if its true.

 

[twilightprotege]

suncorp insures most things, but each mod has "points" linked to it. once you get to a certain amount of points there is a fixed xs on your policy ($350), then when it gets to the next level the xs goes to $600....etc.

non-standard alloys and modified suspension dont attract any fixed xs's or any increase in premium. note that i said modified suspension??? you can do what you want to it, so long as it's road worthy (ie sway bars, coil overs, camber kits etc)

 

[ahb11m]

haha, be funny if they would insure me!!
