Guest Geneb Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Why is it Cheaper to insure a UK TT than a Jap N/A? this has cost me the sale of my car damn insurance companies:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Because it's just another excuse to make more money! Probably a fallacy or myth that parts are hard to come-by when it comes to repairs, have to specially ordered, estimating replacement values etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Your forgetting Uk's are slower then Japspec NA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Your forgetting Uk's are slower then Japspec NA's. lol its the big scoop on the bonnet, causes too bigger drag effect. And if you have those dildo headlamp washers!! its not even worth contemplating the impact on the overall speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Don't forget the fatboy turbo's and sky high suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 barmy! well fed up of selling this car just gonna keep it and do some more mods:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Because NA's were never available in the UK so parts are more expensive etc to replace if it crashes (its okay only TT's have a tendancy to crash ) You may find that Jap import TT's are cheaper to insure than the NA because it is similar to the UK TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
