GeordieSteve Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 On here. UK specs seem to be few and far between. £1200 aint that bad for your age. You'll insure a J spec TT for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapMan Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 p.s. why do all young Supra owners post about being young Supra owners? lol Was thinking the exact same thing myself. It seems like a bit of a 'look at me i'm only x years old and i have a supra' kinda excercise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADD Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 On here. UK specs seem to be few and far between. £1200 aint that bad for your age. You'll insure a J spec TT for that price you can get it much lower than that, ive got a tt j-spec with all the mods on my sig and it cost just under 1k to insure.

Homer Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Where r u getting ur quotes from? im only quoting for an sz and im being quoted more. The SZ models can often cost more to insure that TT's. Madness, but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 "The SZ models can often cost more to insure that TT's. Madness, but true." why are imports hard to insure any way? i've got a mate insuring a TT 300zx cause if he bought a n/a (import) he cant get insured?!?!?!

CapMan Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 People (insurers) claim one of the reasons is that parts are more expensive for imported cars, therefore in the event of accident/damage, repair costs are going to be higher. I can understand this if it for areas of a car that are completelty different to the UK spec cars (eg.Turbo components/uprated suspension in JDM cars), but i'm of the opinion that about 90% or so of a UK car is going to be the same as a Jap version and the massive premiums for Imports aren't justified at all. Just my opinion though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
