n/a vs turbo insurance??

[SupraSoul]

im on the lookout for my first supra and was wondering what the difference would be between yearly insurance cost of an n/a mk3 or 7mgte?
bear in mind i am a young male driver so im gonna get destroyed anyways haha

 

[tbcmorris]

theres not much differance i pay like 5 bucks more a month than i did with my na

 

[deabionni]

Not much difference at all. (And this is coming from an insurance agent).

I swapped the GE for a GTE in my Supra, and my insurance didn't go up at all. My company even added an additional rider to cover the cost of the engine, should the car get totaled or stolen.

in bc it was about 250 more a year for a turbo mk3
i had to ask just to see how much more it was when i got insurance for my turbo mk3

 

[Atsushi7mgte]

when i first got my 87 turbo my insurance was only like 650 a year. the thing about turbo is the tickets lol. 2 years and 9 tickets later state farm deemed me uninsurable and raised my rates to 5000 a year

yeah i have progressive now lol

 

[rayall01]

^ +1 on Progressive!

 

[Nick M]

+1 on State Farm not carrying people that are a liability. BTW, I don't agree with speeding tickets. The danger is greatly exagerated. People are oblivious to their surroundings, and is a much bigger concern.

The rate shouldn't change much.

You can get hard numbers quite easily on any of the insurer's websites for this sort of thing.

couple more dollars on progressive... having a N/A as my first supra and now a turbo

i've had my license a year, no accidents or tickets

When I went from an N/A 87 to a Turbo 89 my insurance rate actualy droped $30 a year. ABS made the rate lower:icon_bigg.

 

[suprarx7nut]

I own a 90 N/A and last year I had an 89 turbo. Insurance was exactly the same. Not a dollar different.

**To add:

I'm 22, perfect driving record, good grades discount, multiple cars in my name. I'm sure my insurance company sees me as a very low risk.

i got a quote for my car,when i first put it on the road.once they got the vin in the system it ended up being a couple of hundred more a year.92 turbo which has abs and airbag.my nephew(19) pay's $3900+ a year for his 91 turbo

good god! $3900+ for auto insurance?!? what the hell kind of driving record does he have?

 

[Kota]

my 86.5 n/a is $280 per month with state farm... but i have 2 accidents on my record

edit: also, im 17 and male

 

[7mMoneyPit]

For me there was no difference between turbo and non turbo, however abs and airbag do lower it, and the only thing that made mine more was because it's a targa top.
