limby Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Just been ringing round for some insurance quotes to see what the damage is as I'm thinking of buying an import 350z. Best so far is Sky Insurance at £941 26, 5yrs no claims Sound about right? any advice on others to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dunk Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Try A-Plan in Thatcham. They got me £599 through Markerstudy with protected no-claims in an average area (33yo - 9Yr NCB tough ), just £200 xs too The number for imports is: 0845 0711234. They're open until 12 today. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam.mt Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 You could also try Adrian Flux, they gave a very good price on the Leon Cupra I just sold...... but unfortunately, weren't competitive for my 350Z. Another few names: Noel Gazely, Liverpool Victoria, Elephant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats with a £250 excess and all the legal cover thats the stuff ian, ill need them when mine arrives. elephant was the best 4 me so fat but i think bell may just have beaten it. They OK with mods? think 'Elephant' avoid them like an american with a tranquilizer gun and a t-shirt saying 'piano keys inc'! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Bell and Admiral are OK with some mods. Its the performance ones they don't like but they often are replace with standard. I'm only a year older and only paying £450 but thats in a safe postcode. Whats the first part of your postcode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2themaxuk Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 humm well i live in Guernsey, and they wont do it for over here, but im moving to the UK so im gonna put it to that address. . . .its not the safest place, its london. . . . .W4. . . ill prob keep it somewhere safer most of the time + guernseys safer. . . .

Ian Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I live in a medium risk postcode. Bell only replace with standard items. Charge a fair bit to add them aswell, charged me £120 for an induction kit last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Bell and Admiral are OK with some mods. Its the performance ones they don't like but they often are replace with standard. I'm only a year older and only paying £450 but thats in a safe postcode. Whats the first part of your postcode? Admiral, Diamond and Elephant are all the same co. Take a look at their websites and spot the only difference - the colour!! IMO, avoid them like the plague. I've just got passed a threat of legal action from them, still no explanation as to what they claim I've done wrong and a letter saying they were cancelling my cover! All because they had an internal misunderstanding. Now, find a local broker you can build a relationship with if you're planning on modding. A little extra now could save you loads of money and hassle in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Just got an online quote from Bell's for £321.90, with legal cover etc. and excess of £350. It was £338 to include guaranteed NCB. My current insurer, Highway Insurance, charged £346 in April this year. (cheap post code, old man, no problems) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limby Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 sounds like the Sky quote is not too bad then. I'm currently with Adrian Flux for my Celica but they're quoting me over £2000 for the Z!!. A-Plan were pretty good at £987 but Sky are still the best, lower excess too.

Ian Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Flux wanted 3500 for the z. Ive never been quoted anything remotley sensible by them for any car ive had. Cant see me moving my insurance away from bell anytime soon, Every renewal tends to be unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky was no good on the Celica but the best for the Z. Oh well, just shows its best to shop around. Found an insurer, just got to find myself a Z to insure! Whereabouts in South Wales are you Ian? I'm in Newport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Im from Caerphilly. Good luck finding a Z, wouldnt bother withe Newport dealer though. I went there looking a few weeks ago & was told they didnt have any for sale even though there was one parked outisde the front door for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to get many Z's in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwr Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I usually start looking through confused.com. the JDMs had fewer insures but when you say it a UK model Admiral came out top plus with a low excess. I gave them a call and surprised they did imports but didn't advertise. They gave me my best rate I could find out the mainstream companies. Would be interested in a list of specialist import insures to see if I can beat them but guess not much room for reduction given I'm a 30 something with an OAPs 9years NCB.
