Josh Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 how old are you? £1400 seems a good price, i pay £1500 lol im with aplan and they said a tt6 (does not matter if it import or uk) is cheaper to insure than a auto Just turned 22 Been driving for 5 years in March 2011, got 3 years NCB and no crashes in the last 3 years (which is as far back as elephant ask). That's the same prices I was getting when I was checking quotes a year ago. That's with my Mum on the policy as a named driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just checked Admiral (who I insure my Golf with) and with both parents on a single policy I can get insurance for £1050. I'm on a multicar policy now so I'll check that later and hopefully we can get under £1000. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds pretty good, a lot depends on the car and the cover you have though, is this an agreed value policy, limited milage etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 what did admiral and elephant want to insure an import ? About £4000. I think the cheapest I got was £3400 if I made it lowest mileage and everything as good as can be. So around £1000 with all the correct details and being completely honest is pretty damn good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Get a quote off sky or Adrian flux, you won't get anything decent on these price comparison sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Have you tried A-Plan? They have always been very good with me and cheapest around, even when Sky etc couldn't quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Get a quote off sky or Adrian flux, you won't get anything decent on these price comparison sites. Sky said I have to be 23 but I'll try Adrian Flux as their only problems were the mods and that or was an import so I'll try them later. Thanks again to all for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 if I got a J-spec I'd have to look at upgrading to bigger brakes which I won't need to do with the UK Supra A lot of J-spec Supras were factory fitted with the larger brakes (more than the whole number of UK spec Supras ever produced) and many others will have been upgraded. Oh and obviously the turbos would be stronger. .....and laggier. Yes the UK turbos don't have a habit of spitting their turbines out the exhaust, but they do tend to suffer more with oil seal wear.

Guigsy Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just so your aware. Any mods you add at a later date will see your insurance go very high. You might be waiting a few years till you can afford the insurance on a bpu. Elephant won't insure modded cars even uk models. This is the case when you start the kidding. My car on the compare sites (uk bpu) returns 2 quotes both are £9999 which is more than the car is worth. I couldn't get insurance on anything modded till I was 25. And then it wasn't cheep. And don't forget prices are going up all the time mine went up by 300 this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Flux insure my import and I'm only 22 with 2 years no claims, but the big thing for them was I had insured a rwd car before, I pay 1650 with them so it's still cheaper going with what ya got.

I'll check prices and stuff later then report back. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Admiral, low mileage, add your dad, their the only company i can get to quote (reasonable) insurance is on the up tho stock cars are boring, get straight into BPU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Admiral, low mileage, add your dad, their the only company i can get to quote (reasonable) insurance is on the up tho stock cars are boring, get straight into BPU! I wanted to start BPU but I think it'd be more sensible (and cheaper) to start with stock power levels as my Golf is the most powerful car I've driven on the road As for the Jap vs. UK, as the insurance is going up, if it goes up by 30% then that'd be a few hundred more for a UK whereas the Jap car would go up by like a grand.

Scooter Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 you IMO have a problem searching for a UK manual................in recent years the (very) few i've seen come up for sale have been high milers and a bit rough around the edges or pretty good to mint cars that are expensive. If any did pop up at all that looked good and were at a reasonable price then IMO you will be doing well to beat a dealer to it as they can and do react and view within a few days. With such a saving on the UK insurance I would seriously consider an auto...........or if 100% set on a manual you will need a (bigger!) fund and for that fund to be just sitting there ready to go/pounce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I sort funds I think I'm going to go for it. I'll keep people posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
