Guest Jam Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hey im 20 years old. I was thinking of buying a Supra when im time served engineer in a couple of months. What sort of prices am i looking at for insurance if i do buy one? I really dont think i could get the TT insurance would be collosal. So what about a manual N/A? My mate had a black one but he was insured through his dads work so im not sure how much he was paying. Ill be 21 when id be buying. 3 yrs no claims. 3 points. This might seem like a stupid post but im just after sum advice from someone who has been in the same boat. Im currently a honda head as i love vtec but i love the appeal of the supra so i wana give it a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jam Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 ok i got a quote of 2.5k for a sz non turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 TT's are generally cheaper to insure than an NA. At that age I'd go for a UK model... cheaper to insure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jam Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 cheaper? whys that? u'd imagine the na would be cheaper as they are both the same cubic capacity. turbos would surely make it more expensive? if not thats very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 No one REALLY knows. I'm sure some of the NA peeps on here will agree on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Your mate didn't happen to have the one with the lambo doors? and I'm paying 1k for an import TT, 21 with 3yncb. The N/A is more expensive as they never made that model here, so it's 'unknown' and therefore an excuse to raise the premuim, thing is I've seen a lot of people insuring what they think is an import n/a and in fact its the mk3, looks like you've got the corect quote though. I think if the n/a was cheaper to insure everyone would be driving a supe, so it's kinda good in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jam Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 yeh my mate had lambo doors big shiny kahn rims and a big alloy spoiler. and an NUR spec exhaust. do u know him? Guy MacGregor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Lovely motor that one! He's inspired me to go lambo doors Dunno about the spoiler tho :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jam Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 yeh spoiler was different. he sold it i think to a dude in inverness. not sure tho aint seen him for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I don't know him but I remember reading his feature and that it was under his dad's company insurance, it was on autotrader a little while ago for about 15k and had an alleged 280bhp on an n/a? not sure how they got 280ish without forced induction. Spoiler was a bad descion, but he was young! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jam Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 280? dont think so...its not that fast. plenty torque i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I remember in the mag it said it was 'proffesionally tuned' to that, know what magazines are like though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jam Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 yeh the mags tend to twist peeps words to get better features outta them. Instead of just spending cash on moddin a car there has to be a special story or twist in there! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Express will give our members upto 27% off Highway Insurance screen price, so it might be worth giving them and the other club insurers a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
