Faye Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Can't help much with the insurance as I've just hit 25 and know that last year I was very lucky with Tesco as a month later they changed their policy on under 25s. As you say Admiral are what a lot of under 25s are using but I personally wouldn't use them wondering if I'd got a MKIII quote not a MKIV. As an example price Tesco charged me £980 last year and then I declared the wheels and exhaust and it shot up to a whopping £1400. That was at 24, with 6 yrs NCB. If the other NA owners can't help with insurance then maybe you should consider a UK MKIV, its much more powerful than the NA and although it doesn't come in aerotop form its much cheaper to insure and more companies let drivers under 25 insure them. MPG on my NA is around 18-20, but I'm not trying for good consumption figures and spend most of my time trying to use petrol in the quickest way possible.

jonshaw_uk Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 i went with flux for the first year and i was 22 (3 months off 23) with 4 years ncb and it was £1500 full comp (no accidents / points) i have now tried quotes for this year at 23 (almost 24) 5 years ncb and the quotes are still around £1450. Ive tried admiral 4 tmes cos people on here got policies with them but they keep saying same old shite if the model isnt on the system then we cant quote I did ring one company though back last year after i had taken my policy wit flux and they quoted me £1100 but i cant remember the company - i got a feeling it was osbourne and sons or keith michaels i just havet had time to ring them again good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennMR2 Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 i havent tried any of the club insurance out yet, i was hoping that the club insurance would have been all sorted by now so i could just go with them. as for the uk supra if they did an aerotop then i would defently get one but aerotop is a must have for me , i made the same mistake with my mr2 and went for a hardtop instead of t-bar and ive regretted it ever since im tempted just to go with admiral for £785 and take my chances :upside: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 This is the thread you need to look at http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=31755&page=1 Universal Insurance Group does seem to be returning the best results so far.

Scooter Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 as for the uk supra if they did an aerotop then i would defently get one but aerotop is a must have for me , i made the same mistake with my mr2 and went for a hardtop instead of t-bar and ive regretted it ever since Tom got a good deal here worth getting a quote on a gz TT as well imo, shouldn't be too different to the NA.

GlennMR2 Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Tom got a good deal here worth getting a quote on a gz TT as well imo, shouldn't be too different to the NA. would love one of them but the cars are to expensive, ive seen a few nice aerotops on the trader for around £6k and id have some cash left over for modding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennMR2 Posted February 11, 2005 Author Share Posted February 11, 2005 Mate, try Universal (club insurance thread) for a quote. See what they say Proving good so far. just tryed universal and they said £2100 fc because its a import, somehow i dont think im surposed to have a supra maybe i should just go with the admiral quote and hope i dont need a claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
