Suprasteve Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I just picked Tescos as an example. 95 Supra TT = £770 95 Skyline R33 GTR = £970 why do you think theres such a big difference in premium ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 When I was getting quotes from elephant it was: Supra £700 Evo 8 £900 UK Impreza £1400 22b Impreza £ 1300(???) Skyline £ 2000! Must be crashed more or dearer to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have owned both and payed more for Skyline as this is an import for sure as there was no UK car and the supra quote you have may be a UK car quote, also I think the Skyline has a stronger reputation for theft but only guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 both were imports and based on the same details re price year mileage etc, i just changed the car details. Impreza WRX STI = £900 EVO 7 = £1,070 but what surprised me was TVR Cerbra 5.0 = £710 ! can you tell i'm bored ?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 R33 gtr will be higher because they are real targets for car thiefs, more so than a supra id say. R33 has slightly more performance than the supe hasnt it, thus the extra premium! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Its because you have to have private hire insurance on a skyline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Its because you have to have private hire insurance on a skyline hhaha, the extra premium could be for breakdown cover!!!Roadside assistance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Insurance is very bizzare. My R33 with 420bhp cost £1800 Same company quotes for my supra with similar mods for £925. I don't understand. I'll also add that when I got the quote for the Skyline I was having a play about and got a quote for a Porsche GT3 which was £810 and a 911 Turbo for £950!! vely confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I got a quote for a Skyline GTS-T before I bought my Supra and it was £1600 and my Supra is £590 (it is an N/A though). My boyfriends R33 GTR cost him £1000 with A-Plan and his car before that which was an R32 GTR (450BHP) with declared mods was £1200 with Tesco.

Daston Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah plus the GTR has a lot of expansive gadgets like the all wheel drive thing and as said before is prone to being nicked. What got me was Supra NA £850 TRD 2000GT (original one) £180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
