jax876 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Come across the v5 for the v today and its only just ocured to me that NOWHERE does it state that the model is a glanza v?? No trim, no model, no variant, no version, No max net power... (enter number here lol). Not only that but it doesnt even state that its a starlet.... Only that its a 1338cc toyota with a 4e engine!!!All this time ive always insured it as a glanza with a rocketed premium... Are you thinking what im thinking?? Anyone else got a similar sort of thing?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 all the same its down to you to declare what the car is to the insurance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 better safe than sorry mate!!, i wouldnt want to be the one who kills someone in an accident then have to go through the courts and be liable because my insurance is void Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Mine is a starlet gl on my v5 but insured as a glanza v Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 My old glanza's log book said toyota saloon lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Mine said Toyota Saloon. I wrote to the DVLA and changed it to Glanza V. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Run the risk of getting bent over and fucked in the ass should u ever crash and its not insured as it should be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jax876 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think as it stands the insurance would still be void if its insured as a glanza when in actual fact thats not the vehicle stated on the log book,It would make more sense to insure it to what it says on the v5... but then in reality id be driving the wrong car! To be on the safe side like idrees said i'll have to get the model and version added by dvla to avoid any ass fucking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 A very grey area that one that has opened many a can o worms on its topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 You have the vin number on it an that's the main bit. Can find out the model of it off that. On mine all I have in the engine number is "unknown" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitecurrant Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 mine also says unknown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Mine said GL on v5 but when I initially insure it I just said it is a Glanza V and the imported has registered it wrong wso they asked for a photocopy of the logbook and just insured it as a V. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Mine comes up corolla on insurance sites but says starlet 1.3 on v5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeah aslong as the vin numbers the same and it says Toyota on there you'll be fine. And aslong as its insured as a glanza. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
