That call lasted over an hour.

The gist of the disagreement was they refused to quote until I purchased...

They tried to impress me with their legalese that a quote is a legally binding contract that must be honoured.

What a joke....

The ONLY variable was the purchase price.. I was told that without a fixed price it was against their T&C's to quote.

Kept giving me examples of all the things that could go wrong if they dared give me a estimate based on a realistic purchase price.

After a while I asked for a supervisor... after 10 minutes waiting on hold I was told I can get an anonymous quote.

That took 25 minutes. Because after each question I was reminded how this discussion isn't binding...

I needed 2 Panadol after that conversation...

If her name wasn't Karen it should have been...

Over 1 bloody hr....

I did a bit of looking around, and that VIN shows up to be currently registered in Victoria, until 22/1/2022. The rego number is BKW483 (VIC).
