Just looking into the possibility of going for a Tuscan, either nearly new or new. When i check for insurance quotes online i see a vast list of Alarms & immobilisers and also it asks about trackers - so couple of questions:

1 - What is the standard Alarm Immob make & model on a Tuscan
2 - Does anyone know if having a tracker makes a huge difference on insurance
3 - If so what's the best bet to go for on a tracker
4 - Also any advice on how much to put away each month to cover running costs (100, 200 etc)..cheers

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the info Matt,

Is that on top of sticking a few quid away for services or covering the lot.

I have a feeling though that whatever figures you mentioned i will have to find a way to afford it (fraud, bank jobs etc etc). They really look the biz.

cheers again

i have tried a few and tesco online was pretty good. I will of course try any that are recommended.

not too sure what good is though for this sort of car - but using my current car V6 4motion as a guide it was only £100 or so more (not bad for a car double the price).

Age 32, 5 yrs ncb -quotes have been around 1100 - 1700 (sound about right?)

cheers

Thanks to all for the tit-bits of info it was genuinely useful.

So up to a ton a month for the insurance, another 2-300 stuck away for servicing & niggles....now for the 30-40 grand to get the thing...

Thanks Matt...

I've been speaking to a couple of people about wanting the Tuscan and you can almost see them shudder (one of them has a mate which works as a director in the local TVR dealer in Kent, another my old man who i know will try to persuade me away!). It seems the reputation on reliability is still there.

Any come-backs about this, in people's honest opinion what is the Tuscan like, are they breaking down alot, in the garage etc or is this like an 'old-wives tale?'.

thanks
