jacr87 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 To be honest. Not unless you have a high income I would not pay £3000-£6000 to get insured. On the otherhand Welcome to the forum. You will enjoy the driving . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing we've all discovered here is that it's very much location, location, location. If you live in the ghetto you pay muchos bucks for insurance. If you live in pleasantville it's pretty cheap!

Bradders Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 20 years, 2 years ncb, 2 years driving - is that bad??? Don't mean to sound patronising, of course I don't know you driving experience, but at your age please be VERY careful with the Z. Car insurance is expensive for people your age in these cars for a very good reason; to put off the inexperienced from driving them. They are right up there with Porsche and the like, and are alot different from a 206. Driving one home and getting it to the red line on a country road is a different matter. They can be very hairy when you wind them up properly. I don't want you binning it or worse. Stay cool with it and stay safe I don't want to hear any bad stories here. Bradders.

Airro Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 yeah i know my age makes a big difference, thats why waiting 2 more weeks knocks a massive chunk off! i know im young, but i drive safe, after waiting this long, i dont want to see the car taken away from me! thanks for your support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep polishing for now and make sure you come to the famous Wales meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian.lewkowicz Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Another thing that will increase your insurance is if it's the first RWD car you've used. I know that mine was more expensive when I had my BMW because of that, but it meant that when I got my 350Z it wasn't my first RWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Welcome to the forum. A couple of weeks is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Just keep polishing for now Champion idea and constructive use of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
