Your cost should be higher because the 370z is an actual sports car and rated in a different segment for insurance agencies from a 2+2 coupe.

Yep. At 16, even in areas of the country where insurance is relatively "cheap", it will be expensive for you.

When I rolled the Z my insurance was much higher than it is now with my G37s

Dude, its your first car. From experience: Get yourself a nice fun cheap car. They are cheap to mod and cheap to maintain.

Our cars (Z's & G's) are expensive as FU** to mod. I just spent over 700 on just High Flow Cats. Get yourself out of school (highschool and if your smart College) and get yourself into a nice car once established.

Again only advice, take it/leave it. Im just some random guy on the internet so you don't even have to read what I just wrote


SIDENOTE: Tazicon... screw you. I wish I could own both my G and Z. Lucky Bastard!


QUICK EDIT: Something else I thought about. I learned how to control my car like a boss simply cause I was able to have fun with my old beater and throw it around. I use to take it into dirt and throw it around, which taught me how to control spin outs, over steer, etc. Seriously when you buy a Z your gonna drive like a grandma hoping not to mess it up (at least you should being young with a more expensive car). So you'll never really learn how to control it when its out of control. And trust me, your gonna wanna have fun and not worry about the dents and dings.


I hear a clean 300ZX calling your name man. If you can find a 240sx go for it. Just please for the love of God if your gonna mod them do it tastefully. Too many ricers running our good name/legacy into the ground.

Listen to SgtGoldy & the others! It's a lot more than just the initial purchase price. Plus being your first car, you are going to scrape it up = $$$$ to fix correctly. Not saying your a bad driver, but it's the lack of experience of driving such a car. Look for something more economical & less demanding on maintenance & such. While the Z is cool, it's not a cool first car .

Yeah OP just buying a Z can be done. But maintaining it, and making sure it balances your monthly income and all that comes into play. Also if you plan to do any mods make sure that your Z takes well to them and that you can afford them. If so, then buy and enjoy.
