Jord Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Welcome! Road tax on my 1994 UK Auto TT: 6 Months Rate £123.75 12 Months Rate £225.00 Things to look out for, there's a couple of great guides here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?60-Basic-Supra-Guides Download the pdfs and have a good read, take the check list with you when buying and make the checks. Running costs are a hard one, they're expensive to run in comparison to a lot of cars but many people run them as daily drivers. If you think you can manage it, do it You won't regret it.

Dnk Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 RD tax is cheap around £230 a yr Lots of things to look out for as a lot of these cars are now getting on for 20 yrs old and all of them are over 10 yrs old Impossible to give you running costs as it depends on use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Its hard to say really with insurance as there are too many factors that affect it, NCB, points, accidents, postcode etc... But to give a point of reference I'm 23 and paying £900 but I will struggle to stay with my current insurer as it's Competition Car Insurance and they don't like Supra's anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
