No point driving the Fiat, all that does is mean that you'll reduce the premium a fraction on the Zed as you won't need much mileage on it. It really won't make much of a difference though. The first option won't be any cheaper either, as then you're insuring two vehicles with 0 NCB. I've done that with my MR2 as a second car, made sod-all difference.

 

Getting a job will DEFINITELY bring your premium down. Garage is usually a bit pricier but we're talking a few quid, for me it's more important to keep the car safe than worry about £10.

 

Just ring up some companies and get some quotes, at least you know where you're at then.

Somehow missed this post first time round. Cheers for your input. I have no problem calling around a few places, just figured I would try and get a handle on what I'm trying to insure so I can streamline the calling process. Will get some quotes and update this thread. Anyone know if I get insurance, say tomorrow for example, and then get employed 2 weeks from now, whether there is anyway the insurance company will adjust my payment for this year? Only other way around it I can think of is hold off for a couple of weeks until I get my job sorted then insure the car, if it's going to make that much difference. In USA when you adjusted your policy the insurance company would just credit (or debit) the card that you made your payment with, This was nice when changing from an rb25det swapped s14 to a bog standard s13 as they just adjusted my premium pro rata and credited $400 back into my account. Don't see companies doing that here somehow...

I don't think what mileage you declare will have much effect on the premium, the fact you're a 24yo male will make more difference. Certainly any saving you make by putting the zed on a limited mileage policy wouldn't be enough to offset the additional cost of buying and insuring another car.

 

Personally I would add it perfectly legitimately to the admiral multicar policy - that's who my zed was insured with all the time I had it, they worked out way cheaper. plus also, surely you wanna drive the zed as much as possible now you've bought it?

Thanks for your input mate. I have heard people say admiral doesn't like mods. Any experience with that or was your zed stock? Yea may just stick the zed on the multicar and then steal my dads van on occasions.

-- As I just got back from USA I am currently unemployed, although will be working soon. Will this affect premium?

 

 

Thanks people.

Yes, occupation or being unemployed can have a massive impact on what you pay, read this.

Interesting article! I play amateur Irish League so I won't have to worry about the premiership footballer rates until next season when Van Gaal sends me the call up! Really hard to know what to do. Drive as a named driver on my dads policy until I get a job? Doubt insurance is going to reduce my policy if I change status from unemployed to employed.

Hey guys,

Just bought a beautiful 350z! Looking to see if anyone on here can advise as to the best course of action for me

-- I live in Northern Ireland, I know a good amount of companies only cover the mainland UK so that rules out some immediately.

-- I am 24, male, and have just moved back from USA where I lived for 5 years. I've had my license since I was 17 but obviously only have a year or 2 NCB from 2008 or so. I was driving in USA but insurance works very differently there so doubt anything would transfer.

-- My family has an Admiral multicar plan which allows each person in the household to have their own policy while still getting discounts.

-- The zed I bought is very stock. I will be looking to add a few basic, subtle mods (thinking exhaust, intake, HFC down the line, maybe coilovers and alloys at some point) so need to keep this in mind.

Now you have a bit of background here is my question. Am I better to:

-- Keep the zed as a weekend car, and pick up a cheap diesel car to drive daily which will obviously help save petrol cost, but was thinking may also help insurance if the zed is on as a second/limited mileage vehicle or something? Advice here from any insurance guys as to if/how much this will likely affect quote would be appreciated

OR

-- I still live at home and my father has a diesel Fiat Doblo van and a BMW. I also have the option to just insure the zed in my name and then drive the Fiat on longer trips and sort of flip between the two when I need as my dad has other transport.

Other queries I've always had but aren't essential (just looking to feed curiosity)

-- I have the option to keep the zed in my driveway or in the garage. Will either choice affect premium?

-- As I just got back from USA I am currently unemployed, although will be working soon. Will this affect premium?

-- Are there any other worthwhile things to do that will have an effect on insurance? As I said I've been out of the country a while and feel I have gotten behind on knowing the system here. Please don't think I'm trying to cheat the system or lie in any way, just want to make myself as appealing to insurance companies as I can.

Thanks people.

Lovely car sir. Is that a set or prosplitters side skirts or something different?

Alright lads. Got her home there on the boat tonight no problem. One of the fellas working the boat deck was mesmerized by it, took me 20 minutes getting from the deck to the lounge! Ran perfect the whole 4 hour drive back. Enjoyed every mile. Many thanks to Ben aka rancer for meeting me at the airport and for the smooth professional sale. You are a true gent sir. Best of luck with the new motor! Post some pics up of it when you get it all sorted.

 

Time to pull my head out of the 'for sale' section, and get involved elsewhere on this forum. Have to say I've been very impressed by how welcoming this forum is. Some good lads on here which is something of a rarity online these days.

Im really pleased you have got the car you wanted. I remember seeing your original post stating you wanted black or blue. Ive a black z also. Love it in that. Looks like you have a gem of a z there. Brilliant. Well done

 

Everyone knows black is clearly the best looking, and fastest colour mate Also remember ages ago reading about a guy with a black lambo dressing up as batman and visiting kids in a hospital or something. Always thought that was an awesome way to use a passion for cars in a positive way. Plus batman would clearly drive a zed over a lambo...

Yep i agree that black is the best colour for the z. I have seen the batman guy I think it was on you tube where he gets stopped by the police and he has the outfit on. Yesterday was a year to the day i bought my z. Really pleased with it still and love the black stealth look ������

 

Guess that means we have the same anniversary...

crikey. I hadnt thought of that. Your right. Ps. Love the colour of your wheels.

Cheers mate! I think they really set the car off.

Ah tough situation to be in. Happened me when I sold my s14 in USA. You have to decide for yourself whatever you feel is fair, whoever contacted you first or whatever. All I can say is I'll send you a deposit tonight via Paypal along with travel confirmation and get on the next available boat/plane tonight, tomorrow or whenever suits you. I am free the rest of the weekend and have cash sitting ready. Need to know the car will not be sold before I book travel though. Newcastle is nice, but I don't need a weekend away for the craic at this stage!

Let me know when there is an update. Pm'd you a phone number also if you wanna chat.

Cheers

Pete

Haha 3 offers in as many hours! I knew advertising here was a good choice. There is movement on the price but 6k is too low.

I'll bring you your money If you want dry notes I'll get the boat over tomorrow or Saturday. If you don't mind soggy notes I'll just dive in the lough here and start swimming...

This is the one I've been waiting for. I'm in Northern Ireland but will book a flight over this weekend if we can agree terms. Have cash sitting ready. Is it possible to call dibs on a car You have a pm sir.

 

Now that's a great post

Consider this car sold people Us Irish lads don't mess around. Only back home from the USA after 5 years away but it's game time now!

Just now read through the whole ad. Fantastic looking car. Great build from the P/O, congrats to the new owner. Health to drive

Great looking car. If my budget allowed, I'd be all over it! GLWS

Welcome to the forum Mark!

Hi Perry, welcome to the forum!

Welcome!

Yea I saw that exec...figured there was still a chance it was for sale but it looks like the user hasn't been on in a while. Got the itch for a zed and can't find a decent one at the right money anywhere! Arghhh

Hey, I am from belfast also, currently looking a zed. Is this still for sale?

Pete

Congrats on the new car mate. Health to drive.

Looks well sir. Welcome!

Hello from a fellow Northern Irish newbie. Car looks well sir!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Nice to see a couple of fellow Northern Ireland guys on here also. Will have to meet up locally with some of you guys when I get myself sorted. It's also very refreshing to hear people saying 'zed' already after having to listen to 350 'zee' in the states for the past 5 years!

Pete

Hey lads and ladies.

I've just moved back home to Northern Ireland after living in USA for the past 5 years. Looking to buy a pretty stock, black 350z and just build it over time, so I'll be keeping a keen eye on the 'for sale' forum in the coming weeks and months. Looking forward to participating in a community of fellow 350z enthusiasts. Any questions or comments, fire away.

Thanks for having me.

Pete
