How old were you when you bought your z

houkouonchi · 09-29-2011, 09:02 AM

I bought my '10 370z when I was 25. I could have bought a 350z when I was 21 but I was in the middle of a lease that wouldn't have been easy to get out of. In the end I am glad I didn't as I was able to save up more and bought a house before I got my 370z. I am also glad that waiting got me the 370z over the 350z as its greatly improved IMHO (My dad has a 350z which I have driven many a time).

what do their "parents" do is probably the better question, lol.

Bought my first Z in 06 (350Z RevUp) Insurance was $680 W/Progressive every 6 months and I was 35 at that time. Bought my 2011 370z and now my insurance is $342 W/Allstate every 6 months. Progressive wanted $980 every 6 months for the 370z.

Bought my first "Z" and sports car in Nov 2010 at the young age of 63. Bought it for myself as a combination christmas and birthday gift since my birhday is on Dec 26. For insurance I pay State Farm $312 every 6 months for full coverage.

Paying 150/month for insurances... with 1 speeding ticket

I bought my first "Z" a 280Z when I was 18.

I now pay about $800 per year in insurance for full coverage. Exactly what liability cost per year on the 280, back then.

I was 25 yrs. old. I pay 200 a month for three cars, and they are all classified as sports cars. I think the Z raised me up 60 dollars a month from what I was paying. I get a little discount for having my house insured with them as well. I use Allstate.
