You’re not going to get a decent rate unless you’re over 25 and have a sweet Driving record.
If you check out GTRCanada we’ve got a long ass thread about this very subject. Hardly anybody is taking non 17 digit vin’d cars.
In case you didn’t know this is how insurance works:
you call up, they ask for your vin, In each vin is a description of the car.
So for any 240sx it’s: Nissan, Year, 2 door, auto/manual, 2.4L 4cyc, color. From this they assign a risk rating to each vehicle type.
Then they take your license plug it in, the computer spits out a number for how much you owe them and they tack on their percentage.
With a non 17 digit vin you can’t do this. You have to deal with the underwriters. It’s a hassle and you pay though the ass.
So to avoid the problem.
For Ontario Re-vin:
you need to call
416-252-3441 and speak with Sheila. Ask her for a re-vin application.
Once you have filled out your application, and have paid the $450+gst fee, they will come out to your home to check the car out and begin to build a new vin number for you.
You pay first as they check the car out to see if it stolen or wanted by interpol.
After the inspection has been preformed, you will receive a new Ontario vin number a few weeks later.
this will help in insuring your car here as any insurance company can plop the vin into there system, because of this you will not have to deal with the underwriters(they’re the ones who refuse to insure you, ie 19A polocy).
to illustrate this, the Cefiro for instance, now the vin reads: Nissan, 1988, 4 door, 2L 6cyc. Manual, blue.
Call up any insurance co and get a quote on the spot. No more hassle.
