Funny....insurance.. lol
 
hey all ...well just wanted to let everyone know i got my Z today, at the dealership.... drivers so so nicee and i love it to death....

but the added suprise was when my dad and brother told me that they contacted the insurance company and they only raised my insurance $200 because they told my dad... "its not a sports car because it doesnt have a turbo in it... if it hada turbo in it...then yes it would be considered a sports car"

dad told me and i was even more estatic..... :bowrofl:

Note: the guy in the pic is my dad. checking for scratches

anyone else have this happen?

Congrats on the car! I see you're from MD too! :hello:

I had something similar. Mine said something about it being not a V8 -- in the end I only end up paying $558 / 6 months.

JrumMusic 04-04-2011 10:13 PM

Yes i recently had a 2001 Chevy cavalier insurance and deductible all the same as what im about to say, no differences in coverage.

Im 21 years old.

*old car* 2001 CAVALIER - $156 a month

*old car* 2010 RX8 - $116

*current car* 2009 - NISSAN 370Z SPORTS PACKAGE - $106!!!!!

HAHA MINE WENT DOWNNNN

Congrats on the Z bro, im so happy with mine, just make sure to drive safe for the most part.

Nismo89 04-04-2011 10:26 PM

i LOVE LOVE LOVE my Z so much..... im a very safe driver... i dont see the point in speeding on the road because it leads to troulbe to everyone ..higher insurance.... injury , death..... exc..... if you want to speed. PLEASE PLEASE do it where speed is expected... the track.... or strip.... not the road.... and please be safe..

i know i was expecting it to sky rocket.... but instead? it went up only a lil because to them the z isnt a "sports" car till it hasa turbo in it..

Very smart man, my buddy at work said this...

"Why race a car you already know you can beat"

"Even if you cant beat it, your car is still sexier, looks like a super car" haha

But yes stay safe, but for the most important thing is HAVE FUN in it!! Its a sports car so your gonna smash the gas sometimes, i mean theres a time and a place, you understand lol im just happy to be apart of this RARE community of Z owners, im only 21 and im 100% financially stable on my own, no parents helped buy **** for me, im doing it on my own!!! *NOT SAYING HAVING HELP FROM PARENTS IS BAD, JUST SAYING I FEEL PROUD OF MY SELF* =]

jaedub 04-04-2011 11:54 PM

Congrats!

They go by VIN#, not what the dealership tells them it has under the hood. How old are you? That has a LOT! to do with insurance, as does the state you live in. When I changed states, my insurance nearly doubled on my F-body.

It doesn't much matter. It's totally different than what you will pay.

Vegitto-kun 04-05-2011 05:26 AM

here they don't look at engine size or turbo.

purely the HP and worth of the car new.

fullmonty 04-05-2011 07:00 AM

Welcome! When I bought mine it dropped my insurance and I was coming from a truck

allstate.

Astrosfan 04-05-2011 09:48 AM

actually the z is considered a sports car according to state farm.

My insurance increased by $4mo. It would have been the same if i was to get a corvette. still only paying $560/6mo.

birdmanx1 04-05-2011 10:10 AM

Congrats man, glad you finally got the ride you wanted. Have fun with your car and be safe. Nice color choice BTW :tup:

Red__Zed 04-05-2011 10:44 AM

thats what i thought as well....2 seater, the look of the car, the horsepower it has,.... but according to my insurance company "it doesnt have a turbo .. therefore to us, it is not a sports car":happydance:

great news for me! i got my Z AND my insurance didnt get jacked up because im 21 and have a "sports car" .... to them... im 21, and dont have a sports car =) :iagree:

Ron 04-05-2011 11:53 AM

So this is more of a sports car because it has a turbo?
