toyotasupra1980 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hiya all, right i have a mate who really wants to get his hands on a sports car and he wants it to be japanese which is a great choice but he is 22 years old, he was think of one day owning a supra but this is out of his reach right now, he is currently looking at owning a subaru wrx but told me no insurance would touch him, can any of you help me in helping this poor guy get good insurance so that he can own a great jap car and not go for any european crap?

michael Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think he'd have more luck on a Supra than a WRX - what about an NA MR2 to get him started on the path? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 why is the supra 'out of his reach'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I agree with Michael. Car insurance is a funny business and some that you would assume are cheaper are not and vice versa for those that you may think would be expensive. An MR2 would be a good choice I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 You might find where you live and keep it has just as much bearing on the cost as his age. Get online and do a few quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasupra1980 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 why is the supra 'out of his reach'? 1) he is 22 2) its a supra 3) 3ltr engine 4) sports car 5) male driver these are the ingredients that make an ugly insurance soup [sAD][/sAD] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasupra1980 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think he'd have more luck on a Supra than a WRX - what about an NA MR2 to get him started on the path? he is planning on doing a long road trip threw france and stuff and has also invited a couple of mate and me included along, so he wants a more gutsy car so he can keep up.

mathew Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 , so he wants a more gutsy car so he can keep up. right so a supra is out of reach but a wrx isnt:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 1) he is 22 2) its a supra 3) 3ltr engine 4) sports car 5) male driver these are the ingredients that make an ugly insurance soup [sAD][/sAD] I was 21 when I got my SZ and 22 when I got my RZ there was no difference in insurance price. Plus was a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Insurance on a scooby is going to be much higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well im 21 and i pay £1700 fully comp for my '98 vvti TT... I was 19 when i first bought a Supra which was an n/a and that was quite dear, it came to...£3280 tpft. The year after i then paid £1700 tpft. I upgraded to the TT and was the same price but is FULLY COMP! How does that work? A TT being cheaper than an n/a?!

Gaz6002 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I think an MR2 sounds like the perfect car for this person. Not only will it be easily insurable but it will teach him to drive RWD cars correctly. Give it a few years then get a Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm 5 and have a Veyron, I pay £1.50. IT MEANS NOTHING TO THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I would go and get some more quotes on a Supra if I were him, for an imported Japanese sports car it seems to generally be the most reasonable to insure. Definitely an n/a if it's his first RWD experience though! Failing that how about an S14/MR2? Impreza/Evo are mental to insure wherever you go, if you can get cover at all..

jim_supra Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Whatever car he decides to go for he should try to get a UK version of it as this will help to bring the insurance premium down.

Stonkin Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 get your friend to give A Plan a call on 01635874646, they are in Thatcham. They were by far the best quote i had for my uk impreza and supra TT. They also do not care if a supra is uk spec or import. worth a try, but at his age he has to expect to pay a high premium.

Quick, someone get me a glass of water - the sum of £3280 and £1700 together is just about the same total amount that I have paid on all of my car insurance policies since aged 19 (35 now:innocent:). I am so pleased my first car had 1300cc's instead of 3000:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
