Guest ugp Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys / Girls My names Ben, I'm a soon to be Supra owner. I've always wanted one after walking into Vine Place with my father. Now I've got a new job, I can finally afford one (an NA of course ). Since im only 19, soon to be 20, insurance is proving to be a rather large problem for me. My MR2 is costing around 700 a year, but the cheapest I've found for the Supra is £2500 So far I've tried: Admiral Elephant Sky Bell Endsleigh Are there any others I should try? Most people wont touch an under 25 on an imported car. Any help / advice would be much appreciated. Please ignore the title it should be advice, not advise, was half asleep and now cant change it.

SupraGirlie Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 If Bell and Admiral came up that expensive, it is very unlikely you will find cheaper I'm afraid. At 20 I was insured with Bell for around £750 fully comp (N/A) and no other insurance companies came close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Just tried Adrian Flux, 5 grand! [sHOCK][/sHOCK] Im 19, 2 years no claims, no points, 1 accident in 2007. WHY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupraTroopa Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 It's because they are high powered sports cars. I found one of the main things that affect insurance (apart from age) is the postcode you live in. I would suggest looking at classic car policies but they generally require you to be 21 AFAIK. Might be worth looking into though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 My MR2 is only 700 quid fully comp though. I suppose thats a UK car and more insurers will touch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 You'll be exceptionally lucky to get a three-figure quote at just 19. You pay an excess of several hundred pounds just for being under 21 (regardless of how many years NCB you have). An imported motor is classed as higher risk too. Good luck.

Ben Elephant are very good but you have to pay the full year in 1 payment because they add on around 50% to pay monthly !! if it`s modified you have big problems but if not then go to confused.com or moneysupermarket or insure your motor and put your details in they will do the search and save you alot of time for starters , i have looked at a net based company called ecar insurance and also emodified car insurance and they where very competetive but i don`t know how reliable they are if you have a claim !! Hope this is of some help !! tell me if you get a good deal or quote please Ben !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supradan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Welcome I think 2500 is a pretty good quote for a 19yr old, you will get a quote for a uk TT cheaper though;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Try getting quotes for a UK TT as already said. It will probably be cheaper. Good luck...... and be carefull the TT's are bloody fast cars and not at all forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Hi mate, I've just bought a TT Supra from Vine place, which N/A are you looking at as they have quite a few atm, we seen a gorgeous Royal Saphire Purple facelift there with BBS alloys, probably would have looked at that myself had it of been a TT. Insurance wise, I would of only recomended Elephant as they've been the most competitive with my last 3 cars! I'm 24 with 4 years NCB, it's pretty affordable at the moment but I'm expecting a nice drop when I turn 25! Good luck with your search mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chp03bcd Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Echoing other people's advice. Elephant was by far and away the cheapest company when i bought mine at 24 - i was paying around £1,100. Was quoted over £5,000 though by other companies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Do you live with your parents at all? If so, try insuring under your dad's name, or another member of your family who has some no claims built up. They could name you as a named driver. Assuming that you can 'proove' that they are the 'main' driver and you have less usage of the car. (I think this has been discussed before on this forum.... but might be worth thinking about if it is a possibility). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlM Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) I insured my J-Spec N/A Auto when i turned 19 with 1 years NCB and it cost me £1150. It's up for renewal on April 25th. I'll be 20 with 2 years NCB so i hope it goes down! Do an online quote on Moneysupermarket. I got the best quote from Autotrader which insured me through Zenith.

Guest ugp Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 WOW, just been quoted 1700 though autotrader TPFT. I had thought of a TT, but I cant afford to buy one. My current car is an tweaked MR2 turbo, so should only be a mild step up from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
