Yeah, even though I'm on the commercial side now, I still need a good technical understanding, so I try and stay on top of things:tup:

Rock on!!! :rock:

It's decent career to get into. You have to be more committed to learning and understanding about cars. There's far more to it when you have to work on them day in and out and repair w/e is wrong. The pays gr8, supports myself and my fiancee and as a extra bonus I get to work on and drive some really cool cars. I still prefer my Z though lol. Go figure.

Did you go to school for this

Started working for a chemical refinery company in the fall 2005 and was quickly moved up the ladder and making great money and had my own house and decided to get a toy :) Then I purchased the 370Z while still employed by them but now I started a new job with a Pipeline company...





DAN

Yes I did k20z3. UTI like I said earlier and I made it into BMW STEP graduate program.

Got my first Z this year in April. Im 28. I work in an Oil refinery Plant. Before that I was in the Army for about 6 years. Been looking what to do ever since I got back. Tried to get into Police I pass their tests but didnt pass the interviews for some reason. I know now that they wont except truthful people. Tried getting into Wyotech. Teachers were good the administration and office people screwed up my paper work. Left them and got into the Oil Industry.

I'm 43 bought my first 350Z when I was 38,my 370 when I was 43.
I was a Mazda Tech for 12 yr. now auto body Tech for 13 yrs.

I was into the Corvette thing before I got into the Z's
As far as insurance I have Allstate but I have 3 cars insured so I'm not sure what costs what.

2010 370z (full coverage)
2011 Altima (full coverage)
2004 Honda civic (full coverage)

$169.00 month

It pays to be married & semi old:icon17:

that sounds horrible man sorry... thats as much as i pay and im 22

Thats kick *** dude Im Army currently deployed as well take care and be safe man your Z is waiting for you :)

What were you honest about if you care to say so i can know what not to say haha.

Well they told me it was only 5 bucks higher from my scion tc when i called before buying the car and then now i renewed and they raised that sh*t so i was a little upset.

Thanks for all the awesome responses Allstate sounds like the winner. I have a 5th gen prelude,my Z, 2008 r1, and renters insurance on a house. My rate was $360 a month the bike was $150 and the house was $14 a month the
cars were $196. Thats me and my 22 year old wife (this isnt going to turn into:worthless: pics for my wife thread i saw that happen in a forsale thread hilarious!) anyways so my insurance renewed and they raised $419 and my bike and car went up... (i made a claim for 6k on the bike last year) but that shouldnt raise my car premium and i renewed my policy after the crash and it only went up 9 bucks a month now it went up $50 i dont understand insurance they rape you!

Bought mine this year at the age of 30, felt good to not have to finance it. Now that I got my toy, it's time to hoard my money for a house.

I've had my 2011 370Z for 4 weeks, I'm 66, 0 tickets & 0 accidents, semi retired. Full coverage was $750 a year. Pays to be an old guy with a young spirit. It helps to insure everything through the same insurance co. I have 2 cars, 1 hot rod, 1 motorcycle & home all insured thru Commerce Ins.

Since this thread has turned into a "what I pay for insurance" chat, we need to all keep in mind that location and overall policy have a lot to do with what we pay.

My insurance in Houston is 75% of what it was in New Orleans. All of my insurance is through State Farm - homeowners and the insurance on my new Z, my wife's MDX and my son's Tacoma. That policy includes a $1,000,000 umbrella. The umbrella brings it's own set of minimum coverages. All of that jacks up my rates.

There's a lot to be said for sticking with an insurer if you can. I've been with State Farm since 1978. I'm sure Progressive or Geico could low-ball them for awhile, but I have NEVER had a problem with a claim, including one associated with hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of the storm, a lot of folks found out how really good there underwriters were; it was a rude awakening for many.

As is always the case, in the long run, you tend to get what you pay for. Choose wisely and remember to always know exactly what you are paying for.

im 31 married 0 accidents 0 tickets and i pay 149 a month u should be happy with 100 a month

I was 19 when I leased my S5 and 22 when I bought my Z..... I dont know how much in insurance because of everything bundled together

Got mine at 64.

I got mine at 49....after pounding a Frontier against the same bridge FOUR times after an ice storm a year before. So much for good insurance rates!

:tup:

Good point! :tup:

My very first car was a 350z and I got it when I was 22. I got my 370 when I was 26 and I'm in the military. I have one accident and one speeding ticket and I pay 234 a month with usaa. Geico wanted 900 dollars a month.

Bought a 350z when I was 24 and a 370z when I was 28.

Sounds like the 370z members, young or old, worked really hard to get their respective toys. Proud to be a part of the group!

Purchased mine last year at 25 working and going to school as a pharmacy intern. Will be purchasing a GTR before I turn 30 working as a pharmacist. As for insurance, I pay $140 a month for the Z and my 93' Toyota MR2, full coverage.

Hahah this is to funny, I also worked as a Nissan tech while going to UTI in california. I went to STEP in Orlando, graduated and worked in Ft. Lauderdale for a few years. Then Moved back to the west and bought a 370z. We might have a few thngs in common. just dont tell me you were in the military as well

Oh yeah I bought the Nismo 370 as a 28 year old. I have 2 rx7, 1 older bmw and a subaru 2.5rs I really need to sell some of this junk haha

Got the z when I was 24

Was 22 when I bought my Z. 23 now.

33 When I bought the Z earlier this year

no accidents, $140/month insurance, married but they said it made no difference on my premium

I'm old enough to be your father, clean driving record, and I pay the same in Minnesota.

wtf im 22 w one accident and i pay a ridiculous amount on insurance. Whovers in their early 20's can u tell me who ur insurance company is? im w progrssive and im getting raped.

Insurance rate vary widely from state to state, even different regions within states. Hard to draw conclusions from the internet.

Best bet is to go around pricing insurance. This is not something you can do accurately on the internet, you actually have to visit a variety of agents. Independent agents are usually your best bet as a place to start.

I am 23 and Progressive gave me the best rate out of several companies. I pay 150 a month for max coverage on my Z, tahoe, and apartment and have two tickets on my record. I think most of the reason behind you getting raped is the fact that you live in New York.

bought my 370 when i was 21 turned 22 last thursday

I was 20 when I bought my Z

You guys are making me feel old.

Nope boss, you are hip and young at heart just like all of us on this forum; that's what counts :icon17:

Thanks, man. You made my day.

:tup: Glad to hear.

23. Just finished school and paid my school loans off before I graduated thanks to a internship with the Gov't, working at the local course and landing with Lockheed Martin while my last year of school. Was fortunate enough to get a good job now that will keep me afloat, as well as having amazing parents that let me stay at home for the time being.

Paid half the Z in a down payment, and financed the rest. Meanwhile keeping half my savings. Im very happy and lucky the way it worked out and smile everytime I see that beautiful blue Z. Kind of does make those crappy days working worth it.

You must be my evil twin :rofl2:

22 When I bought mine.

17 when my parents bought the car for me :stirthepot:
I hope they'll buy me a GT-R this year :stirthepot::stirthepot:
