gogs3 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi there I'm having trouble with my Tesco insurance on understanding wot a starlet gt is every time I give them a number plate it comes up as a corrola? Also with the glanza it comes up with a cd or sportif Help please?Cheers j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 mine was like this aswell, if I was you I would use it as an advantage n just go with the sportif, wish I did this cause theyl just charge you a shit lot more, av got 7 years no claims am 25 and am still paying 600ish, its bollocks or if you want it done properly just use sky insurance or adrian flux etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Zoe* Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 mine does the same thing so annoying! but i would say get it right you need to insure the car you have, it costs more but nothing compared to being sued for not holding insurance if you (touch wood) have a crash wrong insurance is as good as no insurance not worth it!

Gainzy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 if the logbook says 1.3? get exactly that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 then if your in a crash or a traffic officer that knows what a turbo looks like pops the bonnet thats 6 points and your car crushed not worth the risk sad thing is its idoits trying this that actauly make it cost more for people to insure there cars properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 ^^^^^ I wouldnt.... It could lead to more poblems if something ever happened insured like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 is every single modifyed part on your guys cars insured? if its not n the cops pull you over you can be knacked either way.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 everything from my gearknob to my remap is covered. spent a fortune on my car dont fancy risking it for the sake of a couple hundred quid. and with 6 points on my licence i would be more than likely fired from work to which would cost me even more than the extra £30quid a month for my mods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 how much do you pay and who you with age etc, I could do with a better insurer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
craig-glanzaEP91 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) is every single modifyed part on your guys cars insured? if its not n the cops pull you over you can be knacked either way.... my glanza was imported by a company and never put down as anything but a toyota 1.3 , no starlet in the equation just simply a toyota with a 1300cc engine in the logbook , it was also insured as a 1.3 by its last owner , i too could use advice on insurance as im getting quoted stupid prices for mines with 1 year no claims and 20 years old :/ Edited April 19, 2012 by craig-glanzaEP91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 21 1 years no claims so its pretty high at 1800 but thats for up to 240 bhp. roll cage/uprated brakes/coilovers main diffrence is the roll cage as only a handfull of insurers will touch you if u have one and thats with a-plan.

Gainzy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 thats not bad at all, 1 years no claims!! I used to have a seat ibiza 1.4 i was paying 1400 on two years no claims! There's something not right like, its all a roll of the dice.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 depends on loads of different factors but your best bet is always call around insurers that mainly deal in imports like sky/a-plan and most in the back of banzai and give them the quotes other companys gave they normaly try to atleast match that pricetd04 the way forward am just saving up money and buying the odd few bits will be running full forged 5e on a td05 by next year see if i can push 320+ break Quote Link to post Share on other sites
