Bobbyheinz Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Admiral has always been the cheapest for me...I got my 350 at 20 and they were the cheapest by an absolute mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy.farrow7 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Also look at the difference between paying the policy in one lump rather than monthly as there is usually a big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Have you called Sky, Adrian Flux, Greenlight and the usual specialist suspects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombooth Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks for all your help guys, I've managed to get it down to around £1000 now so it's become manageable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Unfortunately buying it is generally now the easy part. Maintaining it is the bugga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy11 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I don't think maintenance is that bad at all on the zed, the expensive part is the modding which is just irresistible! Edited July 30, 2014 by Daveyboy11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'd agree with Davey, so long as you don't go to a main dealer, it's actually not too bad. Things like the oil filter and the wheel studs are the same as with the Micra, so they're pretty cheap. Dealers seem to charge a Z tax though. They're pretty intuitive to work on, even for a clutz like me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Mad how cheap zeds are now. As ive said before, i was paying over a grand when I got mine a few years back and i was 40 with 20 years NCB living in a quite cul-de-sac full of old pensioners. Seems to be insurance companies no longer think they are such a high risk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Maybe it was the old pensioners who were the risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Maybe it was the old pensioners who were the risk I wish. It was defo the car. I was paying £160 a year for a Golf GT TDI at the time, my Yamaha R1 was costing me £60 a year and the zed came in at over a grand. I was staggered as id already been quoted about £500 for a Porsche Boxster 3.2s, £600 for an E46 M3, £460 for a Lambo Gallardo (yep, just £460!), and about £600 for a brand spanking new NIssan GTR. So, it was defo the zed they just didnt like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
