Default What's the insurance rating on a Z?

im not really asking what yall are paying a mth or every 6 mths on your car....cause that might scare me. but i may be looking into getting one around this summer and im curious as to what it ranks?? for example, i believe the RX8 is rated at 17 or something...which is really good. i believe a Nissan salesman told me the Z is a 19...which still isnt that bad. i just want to confirm this. thanks....and w00t for my first post!

i believe it's either 17 or 20. these are the two numbers that stick out in my head when i recall asking my ins co about it when i was lookng to buy my z. that's with farmer's ins.

yeah, i have a crap load of tickets too. but i still have decent rates. actually i have stellar rates considering...

and for sure it's 17. my accord was 14 (b/c of the theft) and the z was only 3 points more. both the ins lady and i were suprised about that.

if it's any help, my 03 z track is $7 more per month than my 03 accord ex (4cyl) was.

I pay less for the Z than I did for my 01 Celica GTS with the same coverage. Go figure!

Yep... my '03 Z runs only $60 more per year than my '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee did for the same coverage.

My total insurance bill comes to right at $750 per year on the Z!

The Z is rated as a safe car...especially with the side and curtain air bags. This helps us have a lower insurance rate compared to many cars. Especially if you are used to owning an older car that lacked these features.

In Charlotte? If you mean over by UNCC, I know where it is, but I haven't been out there for any meets. If there's a SC-ed Z in Charlotte, I'd like to take a peek at it.

usually we're at the Circuit City off of hwy 52 and 74 (Independence). it's a new shopping center, i think its called sycamore commons. thats where i usually see the supercharged Z. lately people have been goin to the abandoned K Mart parking lot off of Independence near 485. Underground Racing is working on another 350 putting a supercharger on that one.

My G/F is a licensed ins agent. The Z is a symbol 17, as per Farm Family specs, each company rates vehicles differently.
In perspective, my 03 Accord EX V-6 Coupe is also a symbol 17.

I pay $10 more a month with the same coverage as my old car.
It was a '03 Spec V. The Z was about twice the cost new as the Spec V, go figure?
