Bill Prawn Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Got my Supra a couple of weeks ago and the insurance is £425 fully comp. Five years no claims, protected, windscreen cover and when I added my wife as a named driver it went down by £11. That is with EGG. The last car was a Seat Leon Cupra and that cost me £476 fully comp, not protected!!!! Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. might be worth checking this see terms and conditions All Drivers are at least 17 years of age, hold a valid driving licence and are permanently resident in the U.K. The total number of fault accidents or claims, including theft claims for all drivers does not exceed 3 in the last 3 years. The total number of convictions, fixed penalties or disqualifications for each driver does not exceed 2 in the last 5 years. No driver has any illnesses or disabilities that affects their driving.

Robbie Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Just got myself a new policy set up to start next month with Liverpool Victoria. Tel.0800 608 608 x5182 I spoke to Kevin Radford. My uk spec with single turbo and all the other stuff = £714 Not bad for someone living in S.E London He didnt ask me If the car was parked on the road or not or about any alarm? Last year I was with HIC and got fleeced £1700, and that was the best I got after 5 different quotes. Now where on the car can I spend the money I've just saved...???? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qaisar Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 this sucks mcanny i took ur advice and checked before taking out the policy and the car Liv Vic quoted was wrong went over it again with Kevin and he couldnt find model of car (98 tiptronic, i think RZ-S) so i pointed out it only said toyota supra on log book then as soon as i mentioned it was a twin turbo he said couldnt insure me because under 30 so still having trouble finding insurance on a BPU supra as a 27 yr old with 4yr ncd! to what extent should mods be declared with other comps. starting going through them with Adrian flux and they said it would be over £3500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Picking up my 500bhp Supe tomorrow. Needed a good quote so called Kevin. £987 with protected no claims, mods declared, monthly payment terms. He said to keep photos and receipts of mods. Luckily I look 25 but am actually 30 F'ckin result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing is if at the time of the claim anything is wrong seems its down to the customer! anyway still looking for insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself I wouldn't wanna risk it but by law they should have to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enduroace1 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Rang LV last night to get a quote for my uk tt after going though everthing with them got to point as to what car model its was and he said we dont insure that model so asked to speak to the manager he came on and said the same thing but said he asked the underwriters tomorrow just to make sure phoned me back tonight and said that they do not insure uk tt supra auto. So there you have it i just wonder if its because the jap spec is less bhp in standard form.(and im over 30)lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there you have it i just wonder if its because the jap spec is less bhp in standard form.(and im over 30)lol The J-specs aren't less BHP, they are only quoted as being less;) I won't go into that though:( Alot of insurance companies have stopped insuring people under 25 on these cars. They also don't seem to have much of an idea about the various different models, you have to be careful whatb you are actually getting insured on. Some people have been driving around only to find there insured on a mk3!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enduroace1 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 It doesn't really mater that i didn't get insure with LV as i already had quote from Adrian Flux for £428.87 which im going to take as it covers all my mods as well. Just thought i post my findings with LV i gave them a try and they were crap for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 That is definitely a mark 3 insurance through adrian flux mate. our last quote was for £1400 on an N/A over 30 full ncb clean license etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic_f Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I rang LV today, and they are stopping imports. Adrian Flux quoted me £1800 with a big single and and £1300 as my car is now. Anybody got any suggestions??? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafish Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 i would suggest tesco, have been insured with them for 3 years have been very good until this year. they're now charging me 1800 for my NA, paid 1200 last year, this is apparently because i am under 25 (this wasn't a factor last year) and i have moved house. so 600 quid extra for moving from the middle of nowhere into town. How gutted am i. well i either sell the car or pay it. pay the bill it is then. ps please see post "my ass for sale" in for sale section lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damouk Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Phoned LV today for a quote and after having no luck with several monkeys finally found out that Kevin Radford no-longer works there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I tried LV... and the monkey on the des told me that they would not be able to insure it since they didn't have the auto listed on their system... simply as that... no quote... ... Out of interest, try the following and let me know... mention that you are part of the supra club... Speak to Liam Phone is 08704 440556, Choose existing clients from the menu, admin and ask for me when you come through and we will take it from there….

dangerous brain Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Gav you got an awesome quote even with that nitrous fitted who was that with??? That LV guy Kevin did indeed leave recently but there is another guy that is on this board that now works there can't remember off the top of my head who it is though.

JustGav Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I went with Car Highway... but it turned out they didn't realize it was a Jap import, but I got nasty with them.... And they found another quote through someone called Kinetics for 800.... including mods (nose, body skirt, uk brakes, NOS, alloys and in car computer stuff) and since they finally admitted it was their fault they didn't understand it was a jap import... they took the difference on themselves (guess those audio tapes did work in the end) So all in I got it for 556... But I'm busying going down another route... Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I did say that your quote was way too cheap though if I remember. I also remember saying that no0one I called would accept the words nitrous and import in the same quote so you got lucky there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
