Al_Lilley Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 hi everyone im new here.....i want to buy a SZ/SZ-R manual normally aspirated stock supra if poss ....can anyone shed any light on how much i am looking at to insure this.....ive only been driving since september and im 23....so i expecting it to be a few thousand....which im currently saving for....and does anyone have any advice on what i should do concerning insuring the car because i have plans to add border bodykit,19" wheels,HKS Exhaust and HKS Induction,plus tracker and cat1 clifford alarm as soon as i get the car...is it better to wait till the work on the car is done or insure it straight away....thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 to be honest with you i would save a little bit more and get a TT you will find that there is not much between them for insurance as for insurance shop around then get a quote from the club insurer sky as other insurers will not cover your aftermarket stuff, so if you smash up your bodykit then that will come out your own pocket as it will not be covered with your insurance company but sky i believe does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Try doing a qoute with Bell.co.uk and see. If its too much money with all your mods added then its best to leave it fairly standard for a while until you build up some no claims. Should cost around 14-1500 to insure as your in a similar boat to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 bell dont cover any after market mods they only cover standard as that is who i am with and they dont cover my 19" alloys or my bodykit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Lilley Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 thanks for the advice everyone.....ill probably end up declaring the car as standard but with the tracker and cat 1 alarm...and if anythin happens ill have to pay for it out of my own pocket.....i read somewhere that the insurance wouldnt be that much between the TT and the NA import supra??...but i was just thinkin about the whole handling of the car conerning the power and what would be better for me to handle with only driving for a short time...im not tryin to give the impression that im a crap driver its just im trying to think safety...lol....however i was talkin to my mate at work who once owned a TT and he said if i bought the NA supra that after about 3month i would be dreaming about a TT and wishing i went all the way and got one of those...i think i would still get a NA tho....ill have to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods can be added but the premium increases, i did this online with bell not sure why they wont insure jamesMark with mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 hmm strange because you can online.

I guess youre getting what you pay for really as its cheap cover. The club insurer does sound good as you get agreed value too for not much extra. What's the name of the girl you have to speak to someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
