hob Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 ul be paying alot more then! .... ring and get a few quotes! I got a quote for the 220 bhp one for £1400, atm since my car is within 3 years old they wont let me go third party, but since supras are > 3yrs its a lot less for a lot more What sort of age/ condition/ price is the norm?

terribleturner Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I think for under 21 you'll be looking at 2K +. Find the model you want and can afford and just start shopping for insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 If you're worried about insurance, make sure you pick up a UK spec. 0-60 range anywhere from 4.9 to 6.1 secs, so you're probably looking around 5 secs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Lots of insurance threads already on here - seems it depends on your location a lot of the time - I only pay £1500. 23 with 6 years NCB. I was paying £1200 on my ZR, but that was a 160! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I was paying about £1500 (23, 5 years NCB) on an imported TT, but that's with Elephant Then came the two claims within a year so I'll have to see what happens when I come to renew By the way I wouldn't be too suprised if the club insurer (Sky) aren't the cheapest for you.... I don't think they're particularly good for young drivers, but at least when you call them they're polite helpful and very knowledgable with Supras So well worth a try. I know what you mean about the difference in prices, I was paying £1200 on a 2.0 Mondeo before I got the soop! May as well pay a bit more for something faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
