Guest CharlesQ Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hello, I'm Charles, 18 from Hertfordshire. Don't own a supra yet but I'm looking to get one, preferably a N/A due to the crazy insurance prices but I'm getting less hopeful as I see all the insurance quotes I'm getting. Been driving for just over a year and a half, currently own a '08 Golf 1.4 TSI. Nice to meet you all in advance! [GRIN][/GRIN] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi Charles, Welcome to the club. Good luck in finding a NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Welcome Charles, the best decision I made when purchasing a Supra at a young age was to buy an NA as it gives you an appreciation for the vehicle/power and how it handles in various conditions. As you've only been driving under 2 years I'm assuming the Golf is your first car in which case the NA Supra will be a decent step up. If Insurance prices aren't great, you'll love the maintenance bills (should things need replacing, which on a 20 year old car can do) Best of luck and welcome once again.

Guest CharlesQ Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If you don't mind me asking, how old were you when you got your supra? Golf is my first car and I want the supra as a second car without getting rid of the golf preferably so that I will still have a more practical car to run about with. And thanks for the warm welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Welcome mate, good luck with finding your own supra soon! I started off in an NA auto and then moved up to a TT auto and then moved up again to a better set up TT auto, which is now 6 speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CharlesQ Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks! Currently finding a supra seems to be easier than finding insurance to cover it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CharlesQ Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I tried elephant but they wouldn't cover me as I'm under 21 (18) but I will try Adrian Flux! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CharlesQ Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 BTW, I have seen several supra ad's stating the year as 2006 etc, does that mean the car was imported and it is the year of import as opposed to the year of manufacture? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I tried elephant but they wouldn't cover me as I'm under 21 (18) but I will try Adrian Flux! Tell them you belong to the club. And ask if you can get it on a classic policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
