sasha@lazytrips Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Welcome to the forum So where abouts are you based and what type of zed you after? I'm based in the Midlands and have posted what I'm looking for in the "Wanted" subforum of the Trading Post. I'm fairly flexible geographically so as long as there is something within reason (ie not some island north of Scotland), I'd be interested.

sasha@lazytrips Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 An import absolutely cripples me in terms of insurance. And yes, I have done my homework and checked every single avenue for insurance prices. The problem is that I am an ugly combination of every single insurance risk that exists all moulded into one and when that gets multiplied by the import factor, costs spiral into oblivion. Hence why I wanted a UK spec car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ugly to insure then a group 20 'Z' is gonna cost you lots even if its UK. Theres an insurance company on here that gives discount to members, might be worth giving them a shout (Chris Knott) before you rule out imports as they have had a few good reports.

sasha@lazytrips Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've called them and they said they couldn't help as I don't have previous performance car experience. Bell is best value for me and an Import means +40% to an already high price. The interesting thing with my situation is that it is almost irrelevant what car I drive in terms of insurance costs as it would cost me about the same to insure a diesel golf or a volvo c30 as it would a 350z. The import thing makes quite a bit of difference and I really have shopped around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of being "young", "foreign" (not resident since birth), "limited driving experience" (1 yr on UK license, nobody cares about 5 years on a standard European license), "accident last year" (fraudulent claim I have disputed with the insurance company for many months where my car has 'sustained' no damage, not even a scratch and the other car had >£1200 worth and yet in the end my insurers paid out instead of doing an inspection - very long story I'd rather not get into again), no no claims as a result of above reasons, living in a Nottingham postcode (in the UK top 20 postcodes for robberies according to report from last week) etc etc etc I live in Nottingham btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
