shooter89 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Hi everyone, this is my first post in this forum, well i want to buy a nissan 350z but im only 21 and one of my friend told me that i need to be over 25 to drive 350z, is that true? (( Quote
Ekona Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 You can drive a Zed at 17 if you can find someone to insure you. Quote
Chris`I Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 You can drive a Zed at 17 if you can find someone to insure you. +1 - its all down to insurance and how deep your pockets are. Admiral/Elephant will be your best bet, if they will insure you for a price you are willing to pay - theres nothing stopping you Quote
shooter89 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 ohh, i feel better now thanks for the reply, im going to get trade insurance, its much cheaper i got ep3 type r now im trying to get rid of that when i get rid of that there is nothing stopping me from getting a 350z Quote

If not and you declare that you are then essentially you are not insured. Quote
Chris`I Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Ah with trade insurance they will probably stipulate you'll need to be over 25. Thats probably where your mate is coming from. Quote
Jay Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I'm not sure.... one of my best mates drove a Mustang when he was 18 and he was on trade insurance ( his dad owned a car garage and employed him through that) There are always ways of getting around it.... but it will still cost you a fair few ££££'s no matter what Quote
Chris`I Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Well they will cover people younger than 25, but it normally makes the cover very expensive unless its for a large company in which case it doesnt make much difference. For small garages you normally find its a lot cheaper not to cover younger drivers Quote
Jay Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Money is not an issue for them but still I think it only cost him £1500 and that was fully comp, which is bloody awesome for an 18 year old Quote
shooter89 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 well, my friend got a garage and he said he could insure me on the type r (group 17) for £600 a year (third party only doe) so im assuming ill probably pay around 1grand for the 350z, i not sure doe it might be less or high... Quote

Hope you dont ever have to claim, that could be interesting if they investigate and find out you dont work there Quote
Jay Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Jesus............. mate if ur not on the books then dont do it... as chris says you will not be covered. Quote
shooter89 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Jesus............. mate if ur not on the books then dont do it... as chris says you will not be covered. yea his right, if i had the money i wouldnt do it, but they want 5g from me to insure the car, so aint got any other choice, i cant pay 5g for insurance, Quote
AK350Z Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 As opposed to paying 1K for insurance thats worthless? Quote
Ian Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 My head hurts after reading your posts. I had to fire up Rosetta Stone to translate some of them I had my Z at 21 & piad about £800 a year Quote
Jay Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 You could just hold off a few years mate until you can afford proper insurance Quote
Stew Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Does 'doe' mean though???? Messing about with insurance isn't worth it. Do it properly or don't buy the car. Who wants £5k for insurance? Have you tried the comparison sites? I have found in the past that if you run a comparison then contact the lowest quote you can usually get it cheaper still. Quote

Not saying you are doing that because I dont know if you are but the people who do that kind of thing are partly responsible for the extortionate premiums everyone honest has to pay, and are proper t***s for doing so.

I think whats even more interesting about this is that we know that insurance companies look into forums, like Sky Insurance for example, so the OP better have a spoofed IP address, lol Quote
Ricey Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 *sigh* Dude - you stick alloys, big exhaust, decats, bodykit and a twin turbo on your car.........you don't tell the insurance company because its going to put your insurance up to 5k so keep schtum and it stays at 1k Think carefully before you answer............are you insured? I'll give you a clue - it got an 'o' in it and it begins with an 'N'. As someone state above why **** 1k into the wind for an insurance policy thats invalid from the day you pay for it!!!!!!! Why's it so high mate? Do you have points or an accident or something? 5k seems loopy even for a 21 year old - have you tried Admiral. Quote
Stew Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Why's it so high mate? Do you have points or an accident or something? . 97 points for da speedinz nd da racinz, 12 axidints when pratisin da driftinz and I lives in da hood yo! Quote
