Default Traded 2001 Prelude for 350Z, insurance went down

Down by $360/year. I asked why and the insurance guy said maybe it is cuz the Z is harder to steal.... this happen to any of you guys who recently bought a Z?

I was happy aand everything, but I thought maybe they made a mistake, seemed too good to be true.

2001 Silver Prelude for 2003 350Z Chrome Silver Touring...sooo easy to keep looking clean

Anyone have a clue as to why the cheaper insurance?

Yeah, my insurance dropped at least 20% when I traded in my 98 Integra GSR for the Z.

When I traded in my Toyota Matrix my insurance went down as well (can't remember how much.) But that was the last thing that I needed to convince my significant other that the Z was a good purchase

Maybe insurance went down because the Prelude is considered a Sports Car.

To the insurance company the 350Z is considered as a Two seat passenger car...

My brother was looking at a RSX and it had higher insurance than i do...

Ihad a '93 Prelude Vtec and my insurance only went up $20 mth, and that's for a car 10 years newer, unbelieveable. Preludes are expensive to insure due to the high rate of theft and high rate of crashes (along with many other Hondas). Insurance companies look at the losses on particular models and base rates on that.
