hey guys

i don’t mean to beat a dead horse here since i know this has been discussed to death. however, this is kind of a twist.

I have owned two rhd’s in the past, both insured under different companies. however, both times the comanies flat out refused to insure the cars since the 10 digit vin could not be input into their systems.

what i have done in the past is have my j-specs re-vinned with a 17 digit Canadaian vin. also this has made things easier, it is a month long process at times and costs $500.

my j-spec supra will be arriving in mid april and i would like to have it insured under its 10 digit vin. i am with a new company now so perhaps they may do it, but in case they are hesitant, what have some of you guys done in the past (said or done) to have yours insured under 10 digits?

thanks boys

Mine was simple. Told them my VIN, they insured me. The time and money is worth the hassle I guess.

there is a few people including myself that have insurance for a 10 digit vin, my insurance company now wont insure my car but will let me 10 day trip permit it.

pantaloons or kev@ams can probably let you guys know what company they use.

there is one on hwy 10 and derry, i cant remember the name off the top of my head but they insure high risk drivers/cars…they will insure it i just dont know the price

well seeing that its a supra and we have those here in canada their should not be a problem. The cars you had in the past were they skylines?(reason i ask is because we have never had those here) i own a silvia and just told them it was a 240 with the steering wheel on the other side and i pay $100 a month because they just considered it a normal 240.

Axa insurance here, with an 11 digit vin. no problems. $230/month

Maybe see if they can insure your car under a 19A policy, with the 11 digit vin if its appraised?

To everyone insuring their RHD vehicle, does the insurance know its right hand drive? Or just that it has the 11 digit vin?

Meaning, did you tell them its RHD, or basically just kept your mouth shut.

I need to know ASAP.
