evinX Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Right people, seeming as everyone else is insured on their supras apart from me, i thought it would be best to ask for some recomendations, whos a good company for insuring an import supra? Info: Im 20 with 2 years no claims, dont know if its 3 years now, clean driving license, been driving a 1.6 primera for 3 years 1993 NA AUTO IMPORT SUPRA SZ Modifications are Front bumper Eyelids Side skirts Rear bumper and spats Spoiler 17" Aftermarket alloys PIAA aftermarket horns Apillar mounted extinguisher Painted dash panels + callipers Deleted rear seats And thats all my aftermarket bits, every other single part on the car is factory, even down to fluids. What kind of price should i be expecting? thanks, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Depends on area mate, im 30 with 12 years NCB, no points or convictions (touches wood) and FC is £700 on my NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 What kind of price should i be expecting? Sorry to say but I think you should be expecting £2,000 at the very least. The average premium for 17-22 year olds is £2,251. Also, don't forget to declare the paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) I pay £900 with 0 NCB on my UK TT6. When I add the 3 years NCB it should go down hopefully to about £750/800. I'm with Admiral on a multicar policy with my Mum and sister Edit: I'm 22 Edited February 7, 2011 by Josh (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's soon you should wait will probobly be quite a bit cheaper, I'm 22, 2years nc, mines a tt jspec auto I pay 1600, I wasn't insured for nearly two years though, that's why mine is a lttle bit more expensive apparenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Ill be 21 at the end of march and ill be 40 something in donkeys years:d:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Given that you're 21 at the end of March and the weather is still bad you may as well wait IMHO. I would then be giving Adrian Flux, Admiral and the Thatcham branch of A-Plan a call. Maybe Bell too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyTwo Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Lancaster Insurance have always found me a good deal. Have you tried the club insurance scheme? or do they not touch people under 25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Everyone is different and as a result no one can tell you who will be best for you. No one is going to get you the best quote but you i'm afraid, get some leg work done and check all the insurers you can find. If you can't be bothered just accept the first quote, job done. It will cost you an hour or two of your time but could save you a small fortune, I hate insurance companies so I'll be damned if I give the thieving gits more than I have to!!!

bullet_uk Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 give sky insurance a call but like the lads said your age is your down fall it will cost you loads maybe you should'nt have got the car b4 get quotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Try Sky Insurance (club insurer) and Keith Michaels, just don't forget to declare all the mods you have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 give sky insurance a call but like the lads said your age is your down fall it will cost you loads maybe you should'nt have got the car b4 get quotes He has had this/other supras since he was like 16 just not driven it lol Give sky or Adrian flux a call kev and see what they say the price difference will be when your 21. Might find it's not that much. Ether way I don't think it will be cheep. Northampton isnt the cheepest area for insurance mine on the uk tt is 1200 with 5 years ncb But I've found Adrian flux to be more flexible regarding ages. Sky wouldn't insure me on the tt till I was 25 but Adrian flux would. Not sure you could insure it on a classic (with the company I forget the name of but they are mentioned on here) until your older but might be worth a try.

formatzero Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 As far as i'm aware sky will not insure under 21's.My son aged 19 went on confused and was quoted £5k for an n/a:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertwo Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm 20, 21 in early April and I've got quotes for now and quotes as if I've just turned 21, the difference in the two is about 100% for me. 4k for now, or 2k in April. I'm certainly waiting. PS - it's actually cheaper for me to insure a Supe if I buy a TT auto import (I was planning on an N/A) - I think the cheapest quote I got for a manual N/A is 1800, an 1500 for an auto TT. Nuts eh??? I was going to be the sensible one and have an N/A to get used to the car, but the insurance companies WANT me to drive with more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Sky won't insure you if you're under 23. They seem to make exceptions if you have experience of RWD cars, which of course you don't. Try Admiral and I know it's a PITA but see if it's cheaper if any of your family will move to them and go on a multicar with you. As I said, when my 3 years NCB is added, I'll be paying about £400 less by going on the multicar than it would be if I was with Admiral on a single policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJP Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Guys I just wanted to give you a heads up, just renewed my insurance with Adrian Flux, was with Keith Michaels last year but they put the price up by over 250 pounds, no idea why. Anyway Adrian Flux did me a good price, I said I was happy to pay a deposit and the rest each month for the next 9 months. Got the credit agreement through and happen to read the small print where it states I would be paying 168 pounds interest!!!!!! The car insurance is only 530 with mods (it is my second car with only 1 years ncd) but imagine my reaction when I saw I would be paying 168 pounds on top for 9 months worth of credit. Gave them a call cancelled the credit agreement and paid the whole amount in one go on a 12 month interest free credit card! Just be careful out there, lots of thiefs around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Mine's 700 with sky, 21, 3 points, 1 accident, na aerotop, long list of mods. So sky should be happy to insure me then at 20, 0 points, 0 accidents, 2 years no claims, na hardtop, short list of mods. Waits for sky to reply.
