Guest Geneb Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Why is it Cheaper to insure a UK TT than a Jap N/A? this has cost me the sale of my car damn insurance companies:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Because it's just another excuse to make more money! Probably a fallacy or myth that parts are hard to come-by when it comes to repairs, have to specially ordered, estimating replacement values etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Your forgetting Uk's are slower then Japspec NA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Your forgetting Uk's are slower then Japspec NA's. lol its the big scoop on the bonnet, causes too bigger drag effect. And if you have those dildo headlamp washers!! its not even worth contemplating the impact on the overall speed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Don't forget the fatboy turbo's and sky high suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 barmy! well fed up of selling this car just gonna keep it and do some more mods:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Because NA's were never available in the UK so parts are more expensive etc to replace if it crashes (its okay only TT's have a tendancy to crash ) You may find that Jap import TT's are cheaper to insure than the NA because it is similar to the UK TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Im 21 with 1 years NCB and I pay £950 on a Jap Spec TT. So theres a price guide to go on. Although thats not a very typical price guide to go on as that is VERY cheap, which company? I'm the same and I pay £1800 with sky + 3 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
