How much is insurance for a supra compared to other cars? Could anyone tell me?

> How much is insurance for a supra compared to other cars? Could anyone tell me? I think it varies with the insurance company but this is my experience to the best of my recollection. It may have been higher in the beginning as it was a 'sporty' car but I couldn't say exactly by how much. The biggest problem I had was that tho I was with my former insurance company for 18 years and was very satisfied with them, when I moved to California I was told that the 'same' name insurance company was 'technically different', corporation rules or something, so that I wound up being classified as a new driver and new client for auto and renters/homeowners insurance purposes. =:O And they gave me a higher rate. I don't exactly remember how or if it was resolved but I must not have been happy as I switched. That classification varies with insurance company tho. Another example, when I first came to California I was told by another company that they wouldn't insure a Supra as a new policy. But if I was with them before and then bought a Supra they would insure it. I wasn't so I didn't. (: But in any case it's a good idea to check around before buying any vehicle as that helps estimate the overall operating costs. I found that my current agent will give ballpark costs for various vehicles over the phone. Celie Rules!!

I'm putting off a trip to Cork as long as possible...not looking forward to it! I don't want square alloys, I like them round...and balanced! Sounds like you're out of Freon then. Go for a top up, maybe this is another reason I don't know about for the flashing A/C light. 300 quid! Lucky B**tard...just renewed at 570. I'll have to shop about again next year now. Is this the inside edges or outside edges or what? Have you standard wheels? If not then maybe the wheels have an incorrect offset for the car. If the offset is too much then they will wear on the inside and there's nothing you can do but get them changed. If it's too little they'll wear on the outside and you can buy spacers to fix the problem. Aside from that, you're running about 4psi more than me and my wear is even so don't know.

I have all my car insurance trough frizzel , which i believe also trades as london?Victoria. I've always found them very reasonable. he might be beter phoning , most companies are sypathetic to people who have no official NCB but have been driving for X years. Its better to explain that sort of thing in person. cheers , John B.

hi Marty, The cheapest quote should normally comes from his ex-wife insurance company. As they insured his ex-wife as policy holder and your friend as additional driver, they might be able to transfer his no claim bonus from the last 5 years (or more) providing that : no claim or losses in the past 3 years not more than 2 minor offenses in the last ... no major offense (Dr10 or so) he can proof his divorce by official statement. Those conditions may vary according the company you call. But definitely, try the ex-wife company first ! Good luck wosid

Took the nio nearly a year to pay out on my claim although I had the car so It wasn't too bad.

Feck! a year...i didn`t think they`d be that crap....well i`ve been to see an audi @ a main dealer so they are going to phone me back later so i`ll probably get that...its oright...but the celica is in a different league...its the best looking car iv`e ever had and  i`ll be fecked if i`m giving it up.   Well i`m away to watch top gear highlights from last nite...not really sure about the new show still it is half an hour longer...and thats far better but i wish they`d do less talking and more cars...cos i couldn`t give a toss about some of the cars they show...i want mad bad crazy cars...not limos and girly KA`s   So catch you

toodle pip

well i have got sorted...Hurrray!!!...i`ve bought another car and grahams of saintfield will insure both of them...so everything seems to be going well again, no thanks to those feckers quinn direct...scumbags direct more like..so i1m well relived

give us the low down - who, where, how much, what type of cover etc.
