Calzo21 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hi guys Had my Jspec Tiptronic TT nearly a year now just had my renewal from Admiral for £970 for the year That's 3 years driving, 3 years NCB so I think that's alright Found a 6speed that looks great, missing the manual and being more involved with the drive Looking up insurance and comparison sites are stupid money (£3500+) Awaiting an email from Admiral how much it would be to swap over insurance And have sent a pm to Sky on here Some companies aren't giving me a quote even if I put my birthday a month early so makes me 21? Birthdays on 10th June so it's getting close But why is it so dear or even not getting a quote!? Iv got no points and no claims I look around and see some people getting good prices So why can I insure a TT auto and not a TT6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrashcanman Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The UK specs WILL make a difference, mine went from £1200 for UK Spec to £2200 for a J- Spec But auto vs manual shouldn't make a difference, wait to see what admiral say then I would say look at elephant as well and see what sort of quote you can get from them.

Dnk Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Sky are over 25 as far as i'm aware along with LWIB. My UK spec with all its mods was £300 with an agreed value policy (£13k), i just got quoted nearly £500 for a stock NA worth £4k. Car insurance is a farce !!

Aint you lucky haha But I'm in a nice local rural area in Scotland got nothing on the city's haha See when putting in the details it can never find the Reg plate so you type in description and it has on the list: RZ Twin Turbo (Imp) SZ Non Turbo (Imp) Twin Tur Aut (Imp) Twin Turbo (Imp) Now iv got my auto as Twin Tur Aut and it's really cheap When been looking up for a manual iv changed from the bottom one to the RZ so decided to try the Twin Tur Aut and it's came out cheaper than my Auto!?! But would I get away with something like that I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safely Insured Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Sky are over 25 as far as i'm aware Hi, that isn't correct, we look at each case on it's own merit. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraGZaerotop Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 il tell you what the problem is, your 21, your insurance wont become realistic until youre 25+ imo. im paying £550 odd and im 32 with max no claims and limited mileage and garaged. jap spec auto aerotop TT bpu, altho my car is running standard bhp at this current time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ive only just managed to find decent quotes at 23, i was in the same boat at 21 wanting to buy one but struggling for insurance. Uk tt6 is cheaper for me to insure than my import n/a but having the cash to buy one wasnt an option. Mines still less than 800 a year so im happy for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi, that isn't correct, we look at each case on it's own merit. Thank you My apologies, i thought i'd read you were 25 + on the supra, i was obviously wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have just payed my premium all mods, import rz twin turbo manual last year I payed 988 with 0 no claims and limited mileage 1,000. This year I have 1 year no claims im 28 and my other car has 4 years but they were not bothered about other vehicle, and my premium was 678 I'm very happy with this just payed in full.
