I dont wont sell the car, but i want a toyota supra mk4, i was wondering what is the insurance cost of the Mk4 turbo? is it a lot more to keep both of them? has anyone of u have two supras? and whats the cost like? a lot of people arguing that i will be in debt, if i have two of them with insurance both covered. Im not rich as well, im average, so cost is okay. The supra i am looking for is probably in the range of 20k-40k. also have a toyota rav 4 (family car) , which is highly irrelevant.

-thanks.
To me, your Rav4 is one of the most important pieces of information you provided. Here's why: I say sell the MKIII, because you'll have the rav4 as a daily driver for when (not if) you start modding the MKIV. Oh, and you'll need the cash from selling the MKIII to mod the MKIV...especially if you want to go 'apu' and upgrade the fuel system ($) and turbo ($) and ecu ($).

If you're 100%++++ sure you'll never mod the MKIV, then it's a tougher decision...in this case I think your friends may be correct because the MK4-TT will be more expensive to insure than the MKIII.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
