Guest TRD Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Alright guys just signed up, currently have a toyota starlet GTT and want a supra as my next car. Thought i would get to know about them first before i go and buy one. Dan Oh something i would like to know, whats the insurance like for everyone, i got a quote the other day, i will be 20 with two years no claims bonus and it was 1200 fully comp. Im paying 1700 now on my starlet! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 £1200 is a very good quote at that age! Was that for a UK spec? There are a few threads abouts insurance, do a search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 What would people recommend? 1. Drive both and see what you think 2. Decide on your tuning goals 3. Decide if you want to be like everyone else or have something rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 1. Drive both and see what you think 2. Decide on your tuning goals 3.

Bobbeh Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Seriously, each has pro's and cons, depending on what you want to get out of it (personal preference). At the end of the day no one cares when they're all lined up next to each other at meets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TRD Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I would say my car i have atm is pretty rare you dont see many of these about. Whats everyone think? i know its not as nice as a supra, but for a 1.3 turbo its not bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I would say my car i have atm is pretty rare you dont see many of these about. Whats everyone think? i know its not as nice as a supra, but for a 1.3 turbo its not bad at all i really like these starlets mate, would certainly have one if i could afford another car as well as the Supra actually. believe it or not though, these outnumber supras about 5 to 1 round here! welcome and good luck with the search (go for a red jspec and you'll be fine mate ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris aka fonz Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I like the starlets too , like a jap version of the R5 turbo ! Have a go in both mate , but whichever you end up with you wont be dissapointed ! As long as its a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TRD Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Yeah just tried getting a quote for a jap import supra and they wont insure me cos im not over 21. Looks like i will get a UK spec then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
