BigJammy Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I am looking to buy a 350z sometime in the next 2 or 3 months, I have been looking around at the for sale advert over the last few weeks.My price range is between 9K to 13K. I have a question about insurance would it be worth waiting till May when I turn 25 or will it not make much diffarence. I have 5 year NCB, 3 points in (2005). I am hoping the insurance will be know more than £1000 a year. Quote
Andy Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Welcome to the site, you should be able to find insurance for well under a grand for a standard car. There are a couple of insurers n the site so might be an idea to give them a call to confirm if it is worth waiting. I know some won't insure Under 25's on the Z. Keep an eye out for local meets as well as they are picking up again in our area Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Welcome to the forum... Well worth getting some insurance quotes now, so you know what sort of price you can expect to pay… Quote
scottsoulby Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 before chris knott changed to only 25's and over i got a cracking deal, im 24, 3 yrs NCB, nismo kit declared, got it for 720 pounds Quote
BigJammy Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Also what are the service and maintance cost like? Quote
Jay Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Welcome to the forum mate! I am 22 with 2 year ncb and mine is 900 from bell.co.uk Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Servicing is every 9000 miles or 12 months and at main dealer prices averages out at around £250. Running costs are dependant upon how you drive, but you should get about 9-15000 miles from a set of tyres which depending upon the brand you purchase will cost between £400-700 a set. Quote
BigJammy Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Is there any differnce in performance and handling between coupe and roadster? Quote
martinmac Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Hi and welcome the the forum. The roadster is quite a bit heavier than the coupe but it doesnt make too much difference. Quote
bronzee Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Welcome to the forum. May isn't far away. As the guys have suggested do your homework first and will give you a bit more time to find the "right" Zed. Quote
SunsetZed Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 to the club! I reckon you should be able to get insured (protected NCB) for no more than £750 Quote
Jenna Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Although I'm 27 with full no claims, they seem to just say 5 years+ I got mine for £500 with Virgin recently...worth a try Quote
Stew Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 It's a postcode lottery! I never noticed my car insurance drop much turning 25 but my motorbike insurance halved. Saying that I just turned 26 and pay less than a grand for my 350z, Freelander and ZX-6R combined! As I said, postcode lottery! Quote
BigJammy Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 I after a while of looking I have found a 350z I am picking it up this afternoon. It is a 2004 GT azure with 17,000 miles it has uprated brake disc and pads. Will post some pictures once I a chance. Quote
martinmac Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Congratulations bud You are allowed a while to enjoy it before we start screaming for pics Quote
