Oh I know exactly what you mean lol... I'm 23, car insurance is surprisingly good for me. Just a little over 200/month and I'm the primary driver. I think it's cheap mostly because of my location though. I live by Yonge/Stouffeville rd. The Z is my first car too. I'm working 38 hours a week.

I picked up my Z never having test driven it before and it just surpassed all of my expectations.

Have you had the opportunity to test drive it before?

$200/mth for a 23y/o and as a primary??
Sorry, I hate to doubt you, but I find this almost impossible to believe.. Vehicle insurance, especially for a Sports Car, for males under the age of 25 in ontario is ridiculously expensive.. Your paying the same price as people almost 10 years your elder..
-How many vehicles are under the same household/name.. Home & Life insurance as well?
-Which company are you insured with?

Belairdirect. My mother's car is also insured with them. We don't have life/home insurance with them though.

I've been insured for 6 years as an occasional driver with no claims. it's the location too, i'm all the way up north. Yonge/stouffeville rd.

I pay $205 a month for insurance.

Goto: belairdirect.ca for an online quote.

They give discounts if you have winter tires, car alarm, and tracking system.

Actually, belairdirect.ca is much higher for me.. so strange..
I am 35 y/o.. with state farm and when I had my revup z's.. I was paying about $230 ish for the z, home ins and life.. which wasn't bad.. I only wish I got your deals when I was your age.. LoL!

So multi-line discount with 6 years occasional.. that explains alot.. I am also guessing you have a spotless driving record?
Anyhow, thanks for the reply... and congrats on paying so little!

hehehe

Also, if you want to learn more about where to shop, which shops to trust..etc in the GTA.. just check out the East Canada section on My350z..
One of my trusted shops/guys is a forum vendor on here and my350z.

HOME - Advance Power House & Dyno
Ed@APH
-at least 7 years working with the z platform.
-Great shop with excellent Techs
-Honest and trustworthy.. *Some of the most stand up guys I have met in the industry*

Go by the shop, talk to them.. ask Ed to take you for a ride in his 550whp monster z.

If you're a JDM nut like myself... You can order from:
HOME - SPEEDSTAR.COM

I am a z super freak.. owned a '92 z32 tt (in the late 90's.. lol), '05 SB 35th anny and an "06 GT PPW...all are sold now.. but a z34 is in my sights..
If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a pm.. I will try my best to help.

Cheers,
R

Hey Reality,

I was really surprised when I found out how much I had to pay a month for this car at my age to be honest. I had to shop around. TD would have given me something like 285/m. it's probably just my clean record.

I'm pretty huge on JDM stuff haha! Though I don't have the money now, I will certainly be shopping around for parts.

Need to get the "Fairlady Z" trunk emblem for sure though lol...

I was looking everywhere for local shops for the Z but couldn't find any - thanks very much for all the info!

Where are you from by the way?
