Does anyone have a Z yet?

[Dave K]

Nice to see more new Zs finally appearing around the USA. Although maybe I'm not worthy, because hands down I've got the most crummy looking garage of anyone on this site, lol.

Mine is looking pretty bad after a winter of snow and salt

What are folks seeing on insurance cost on the Z. I’m awaiting arrival of a performance I bought and checking insurance. My safeco rep gave me $3,500 with $750 deductible. Seems really high as I have two jeeps and Saturn sky redline and those three together are $1000 less than the Z. Z is new but jeeps were each $45,000 when new. Grand Cherokee and wrangler rubicon 2015 and 2014 respectively. Checking Grundy to see what they quote.

The quote listed it performance/proto so I have agent checking to see if that proto is just lumped into model or if she grabbed the wrong model. Ie...proto added when it’s not a proto.

state farm quoted me (24y/o) $150/month for full coverage on a Z. IDK who you're with, but they are clearly trying to shaft ya

Insurance is so subjective and difficult to draw conclusions as it’s so specific to where you live, demographics, driving history, claim history, I could be wrong but I think they even look at your credit score when determining your insurance rate… I wasn’t surprised by my premium on my new Nissan Z. It’s under $100/month with $500 deductible and full coverage including roadside assistance and loaner vehicle.

so this port hauling program would be a great way to test ev trucks. unlike other freight or food, cars don't have to be delivered in a timely manner. ?

i predict these trucks will be running out of steam or catching fire on a regular basis ?

It is so Subjective. Companies use so many rating factors that it is impossible to compare even when you are insuring the exact same Car. Companies use credit scoring, prior carrier coverage limits, time with prior carrier and many other obvious factors. I happened to insure my Z proto with Hagerty Insurance at a stated value coverage amount instead of using my regular daily driver Allstate Policy. Rates were substantially lower but there are limitations to mileage and use. In the end this worked best for me but might not for the next person. Good Luck!

Congrats! I was surprised that our Z performance is the least expensive insurance premium of all our cars, we must have hit some discount threshold or something. All with the same coverages.

Least expensive compared to your Sentra and Escape? It's got to be the miles driven annually, aka pleasure car coverage. Right??

 

[trackratZ]

Plenty of dealers now pricing Performance models just under $50K, lots of inventory out there, Nismos too!

Yes, it's cheaper than the Sentra by about $40 every 6 months and $10 than the Escape. Weird I know. And I have 20 year old and 16 year old drivers on the policy rated on all vehicles.
