A T series would be no different to a XR8 for a daily, other than killing its resale (whats left of it anyway).

Was the insurance that much different?

I find it hard to justify a V8 while you are under 25. I went to get a quote for a V8 XH ute, the best I could get was $1500 pa. Stuff that, not worth it at all; and thats with a perfect driving record! (Im 24 BTW...nearly there!)

My car mightn't have the note (although its good for a six), but its only costing me $520 full comp pa; bargain considering XR6's are alot more than that!

When i first got my T i was 23 & i was only paying $1200 pa & that was 4 years ago...
you just gotta ring a round & see what deals you can get....

Well i dunno about you but I crack it if i find a scratch on the ute, so i wouldnt be able to cope with a T series! :. The XR8 just suits me better than the T would atm.

Spot on, the trick is not to cave in after the first few. I saved just over $1000pa by hangin in there and calling them all.

It's well worth checking their payout % though, some payout close to 100% - some don't.
