Hey peeps 
im 23, 24 in a month. Been driving colts, then fto’s etc (a true mitsi fan) over the past few years. I have 3yrs NCB and yet… the cheapest insurance i can find so far is £1400 FC on a turbo gto 
1 accident, but not my fault (yank driving on wrong side of road hit me)
i was hopeful to get the insurance to at least 900.
Does anybody have any recomendations of where i can get a reasonable quote?
Im getting a bit bored of just calling random firms and hoping for the best.
Cheers.
try sky 
or get an n/a instead of a t/t 
Try Sky Insurance like he says, maybe a non-turbo would be the way to go for a first one, give it a few years then on to a TT.
Possibly mines up for sale in the very near future. Some good ones up for grabs on this forum too!

Sky and get a UK car - Im 23 and paying £813 FC
Directline still works for me really well…good on actually paying out too should you claim…I wrote my A6 off last year, had a cheque through the door within 5 days…worth a try
the quote from sky was 1400

i may just hold on to my colt for another year and wait for the magic 25, but then again i did tell myself its a supra at 25!
i got another quote now, cheapest is £1100 so far, nearer the figure im after, but still not there
I just tried direct line, and they wouldnt insure me! sulks

Whats your quote on an n/a?

I had my 300zx insured with Directline, but when I got the GTO, they would not insure it without a tracker…but 300gt’s did not require a tracker, wheres the logic in that?

no turbos
Pfft, get the supra now, and when you decide you want a motor with real class get the GT, by which time you will be around 25 :lol:

Its possible!
I havent got a quote on a non turbo one, mainly because im not really interested in the non turbo version.
Had my heart set on a supra since i got my licence, but they seem to cost more than the GTO’s which is why it may have to wait a while.
Thats probobly wise.
Whilst there is nothing wrong with an N/A … if you hanker for a TT now that desire will only get worse when you experience the performance difference between the two models.
Try and get a 3000GT if you can afford it, there’s no REAL difference between that and a GTO but the insurance difference is significant.

Get a 3000gt instead of a GTO like J@mes said, I’m 23 and pay £1000 fully comp on mine with an agreed value of £8000 should I crash it.
Plus the 3000gt has the added advantage of rust, more power (320bhp instead of 280bhp), leather as standard and bigger brakes than on the earlier GTO’s.
i too would also prefer rusty and fast over shiny and slow
(i fear i may get severly flamed for this post)
Try Aon in Dudley. They came up cheapest for me in the short time I had to shop around (less than 24 hours). £493 fully comp, though I am 37 with full NCB and drive a company car too.
Might be worth looking them up? Even if you do have to settle for a “slow one”, like mine :roll: Not sure but I guess the UK models will prove cheaper to insure than an import?
Just got insurance with sky on my GTO TT. MODS
