[car.chic]

Have brought a celica didn't go for the alfa and am waiting till i can buy a gtv!!

But brought a 1994 Toyota Celica GT is an auqamarine colour and is totally immaculate its done 60k which has gotta be good for the year?! The insurance has ripped me off to a grand total of... £1700! and its not on the raod yet cos i've gotta put some tax on it!!!

Pictures will come shortly!

Depends how old you are and how many years no claims you have. If you are under 25 you will have to shop around a bit.

For reference, i'm 24 with 4 years no claims driving a group 17 impreza. Fully comp = £900.

[car.chic]

Where did you insure your supra? BTW i'm 17 so insurance is expensive i was £1200 for a 1.5 106 diesel and this is a 2 ltr celica!!

[renegade07]

lol, forget that...due to me living in a really high risk area...3000quid on a ford fiesta 1.25 under my own name..im 18, had my lisence for 15months, so over a year. 3000quid...for a 1.2!!!!!!!

[car.chic]

Oh my god!!!!! 3000 that is unbelievable. seriously insurce is mad and not fair!!was argueing over £1700 for my celica!

[sadako]

Damnit I paid 1700 for my MR2 when I was 25 and driving for a year.

If you fancy a pair of clear front indicators (new), get in touch.

Bought them on ebay as spares without getting my brain in gear....mine is a GT4 with different front bumper.

Have you got any pictures of your GT4?

Not yet. I'll bung one up when I get round to it.

Take your ARDS Test and then get the car insured through Competition Car Insurance! Plus you can have some fun racing!!

Insurance is so much more expensive than when I was at school! I had an mgb, and that was only £400 to insure.

Its no wonder so many kids these days are going for the 6 points and £200 fine over paying stupid amounts for insurance!

[Mr E]

Unusual colour though, not many of those about.

We like the Celica so much, we have 2.

I got my Celcia Gt two weeks ago. Love the car!!

[S13_Alan]

I find Celica's and Supras are pretty reasonable to insure.

Jap ST205 for me is £900 FC .. 22 with 1 years NCB. Could probably have got it cheaper if i wasn't as lazy. Thats with Admiral, who seem to be pretty cheap just now.

Try using something like Photobucket to host the pics.

I'm paying £1100 through bell for import WRX, had lots of companies tell me to come back when I was 25 though. I remember when getting quote on my old MR2, my ex could always get quote for £300 less
so fair play for insuring a Celica GT at 17

Where did you bring it from???


I think when I was 17 I was paying well over a grand for a 1.0 Mini

I know this is going to make me sound like a sad old man, but would you not be better buying something cheap to buy/run/insure, and put the money you would have spent into a savings account, so when you've built up a few NCB you can get something really tasty


Looking back, its what I'd wished I'd done

[bint]

Pay £10 to join Celica Club and get discount from Sky Insurance - they love modified cars, imports and the like. I'll rub it in and say I was paying £470 FC on my modified 1.8 Cleica with nitrous. Now paying £281 FC with Sky and no nitrous. Tell you what, thank I'm a girlie - I've never paid more than £1200 for insurance - and that was on a new Celica when I was 23 with 2/3 years NCB and business class 1 ! (company gave me £300 a month to get whatever car I wanted.......................... )

[WildCards]

I'm paying £1100 for my VR4. 24 at the time of insuring it with full NCB and it's a group 20 car - not that the groups have much bearing these days. Should be loads less when I come to renew as I had lots of the more specialist companies tell me to come back when I was 25.

Sorry to bring this up again, but can you give me some more details of this? I'm 17 soon and hope to do some race training anyway, so if I could combine it with cheap insurance as well I'd be so chuffed!
