Omg no ones heard of a GTS Turbo

Post by Damo »

Calling around to get a quote on a GTS Turbo T-Bar and no insurance companies have heard of them even tho i say its exactly the same as a GT except the leather seats and speakers. Shall i just say its a Gt or does any1 know a company that reconises the GTS import.

Just keep trying dude!! Some insurance companies just don't do imports.

You'll get there eventually! And LMAO at the gay music...

dude, im insured through elephant on my GTS.
i emailed them and told them that a "mate" of mine is insured with them on a gts, and that they insured it as a gt. even tho they no its a gts. they said theyd put it in there notes.

so im insured as a gt, but ive backed up (ie, an email) saying that they realise its a gts, but can insure it as a gt instead.
this is to cover myself if something goes wrong.

Ive been insured with elephant, bell direct and admiral on my tubby. Each time they have listed my motor as a MR2 Turbo (import). Its never been listed as a GTS or GT.

How old are you? I'm insured with Admiral, mods declared and as a GT-S, it's an option on the website!
