SupraGirlie Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I am buying a Supra this week or next but Admiral has got me all confused, for a start they say the aerotop doesn't exist on their system, and there is no such thing as a UK supra, but they gave me a quote on a Supra auto, non turbo, for 77 a month, but when they tried the SZ it was 150 a month, both non turbos? Is there a UK Supra aerotop? or a non aerotop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 first of all, welcome to the club. secondly, stay away from admiral! try Sky insurance or AON i think is the other. There's also Lancaster which has been mentioned before. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraGirlie Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 thanks The thing is im already with admiral, and was just doing a change of vehicle, so don't want to change till the end of the policy year atleast, do you think getting a UK spec TT would be cheaper to insure than getting a J spec N/A? as i'm not 21 for a few months and imports are expensive for me!

A uk TT would be cheaper to insure but the downside to this is they are rarer and as a result of that mostly are more expensive to buy. Have you tried Elephant ?

SupraGirlie Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 No I haven't tried any other insurance companies as I don't want to change mid policy as I want one NCB. Just did a quote on an RZ UK TT was 110, i'm confused, I don't know which supra it is they was 77 a month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 best stick with an NA if you have to have one but you don't sound like someone with a lot of driving experience. check the search for thr number of accidents lately a supra will certainly have a bite of you if you aren't sure what you are doing. Might be better waiting until you have your year no claims and changing then. How long left to run and what are you driving now? m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The first non turbo quote, the £77 one will have been for a mkiii supra non turbo, the second one is for the mkiv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Jim - It can't of been as I said it was a 1995! Martin - I have had a subaru impreza WRX import and currently have a twin turbo RX-7 fully tuned and modified by RE-AMEMIYA so I think I will be fine with a little non turbo supra.

Martin I think you were owned there Welcome by the way Yes a UK TT will be cheaper to insure but will be more expensive to buy in the first place. An Import NA & Import TT will be about the same to insure. (insurance go figure). If your happy with the NA stick with it (lower running costs, keeps power low) if you want power go with the TT (higher running costs 380 - 400BHP for about £1200 worth of mods) Sounds like your use to juicy expensive to run cars so its up to you really. How much do you have to spend on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Nearly all my previous cars have cost a small fortune to run, so i'm used to that! The only reason i'm going for an N/A version is because I fancy an aerotop for the summer (TT aerotops are not so common?) then i'll sell it in about september! So not looking to spend a great deal on one (upto 5k at the most) as I already have an rx and a corsa! I would prefer a standard one as i'm so fed up of bodykitted cars nearly touching the ground which can't go anywhere! Thanks for the advice!

SupraGirlie Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Mickey - No, this thread wasn't supposed to be about insurance costs, I was confused about the fact they had no aerotop on their system and this will stop me from buying one and when your insuring two vehicles already, you might want to keep insurance costs on a 3rd car to a minimum. Martin - I meant I want my NCB for this year, I don't want to miss out on an extra years NCB by changing company before getting to the end of the policy year.

Ahh I see....ok well your right to question it then.....im very anal when it comes to insurance etc so I would be making sure they have everything down to a tee....not worth the risk if they have insured it as something else, maybe try sky then, although I expect it to be very high becuase of your age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yeah, thats what most people seem to think, my insurance is actually very very cheap! I live in a very low risk area, I do hardly any miles (which makes a big difference) etc. I'll try this Sky place in october when my the supra renewal would be due up, and by then i'll be 21 so should be even cheaper!!!

martin_a Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ah! the year ncb was what confused me in the first place. Sky are good actually, well, ensign the people they insure you with are good i'll say that. As for 21 it might get easier but not always cheaper. I thought the same, then i was all like ooooh 25 soon and cheaper insurance. Did it happen? Did it ****! NA you might find a bit slow in comparison to what you've had before, particularly if you had a PPP WRX so TT might be the way forward. If it is just for the aerotop though and not the performance then go right ahead! m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Jim - It can't of been as I said it was a 1995! Martin - I have had a subaru impreza WRX import and currently have a twin turbo RX-7 fully tuned and modified by RE-AMEMIYA so I think I will be fine with a little non turbo supra. I had my Supra TT import insured with Admiral no problem as my other car was insured with them. Just spoke to them on the phone. They did not have it online but the insurance paperwork said 98 TT auto import when it came through so no problem. Good luck and buy a TT aero.

jaymdee Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hi and Welcome, You may struggle trying to stay with Admiral, as they only insure cars on their computer system and their system is known to be crap when it comes to Supras. They (and Elephant etc) regularly insure people's 1995 cars and then the punter realises that they have quoted the engine capacilty as 2954cc which is the Mkiii, even though that was not made in 1995. (see http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=1114745&postcount=15) They also mix up all the SZ, RZ, GZ etc, so you never actually know if you are insured or not.

SupraGirlie Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Martin - it is literally for the aerotop, although if I decide I like supra's, I may get a TT hard top after the summer! Darren - I was on the phone to them for aaaages earlier they are useless, could not find any of the Supra's I had or any reg numbers I had!!! Cheers Jay I'll watch out for that, they are ringing me back tomorrow about the aerotop so i'll check its a 2997cc not a 2954!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 First of all Supra Girlie welcome to the club. I may as well warn you now that when we get a girl member all hell breaks loose on here. Hovis, pic requests, Ed...... You'll find out what all this means in no time! As for Admiral I've done a quick quote online to see what cars they have listed for Supra - you are right they don't have an Aero. This is what they have - I'm guessing these include mkiii's as I hadn't got to the bit where you select the year. I'd say from this the one you want is SZ (IMPORT) NON T. It's not an Aero but it's the closest match. Anyone else think otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 First of all Supra Girlie welcome to the club. I may as well warn you now that when we get a girl member all hell breaks loose on here. Hovis, pic requests, Ed...... how you doin! Hovis pic please Hi and welcome. Give Jae a call on Sky and quote the club name. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=34032 http://www.skyinsurance.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Look at the text in that screen shot. (behind the drop down menu) Even though they list them they will not give you a quote online for an import. You have to call them. Check, double check and check again with them on the phone otherwise if the worst happens you will not have the cover you thought you did and it will be a nightmare to sort out.

Feakins Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The cheapest quote you got im almost certain will be for a MkIII and their is an error on their system letting you do that even though you tell them its a 1995. I would of thought you would be OK selecting what conrad says above. SZ(IMPORT) Non-turbo, as that is what the car is, it just doesn't give you the option to select aero top. I'm assuming they charge you more for imports because of things like this and slight differences on models they may not know about. Admiral is linked with Elephant and i've always found them cheap for your age group so I rekon stay with them too. Where in East Sussex you from?

SupraGirlie Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Thanks for that conrad, I'm glad I didn't do a quote online judging by that pic, I mean whats the difference between a turbo auto and a twin turbo auto and whats an F1?! Feakins - I'm going to ring them back to confirm it as i'm starting to think the cheaper quote was for a mkIII Supra! oh and I'm from Heathfield!
