    PLEASE HELP!!

    A Nissan Figaro has been the car I've wanted for years!

    I've agreed a sale with someone for one but theres something getting in the way.....

    INSURANCE COMPANIES!!!

    No one will insure me citing reasons such as the cars too old, your too young and most of the other ones from the book!

    Has anyone a Nissan Figaro that can help me out? Any information would be great! Just to find out if there is any insurance company that will actually help me out!

    Thanks!

    Well, you won't get classic insurance because of you own age.
    I don't see why age of the car would be an issue if it has a current NCT, maybe its because its a grey import?

    A "grey" import is an import of a model from another country that isn't available through the domestic dealers official channels.

    These Nissans were sold new in Japan, but not officially imported by Nissan to Ireland.

    Other examples would be Nissan March (Micra) and Honda Fit (Jazz). Insurers may or may not charge extra for vehicles that aren't Irish specification (or even decline insuring them).

    So in addition to that problem, you have that of your age. (under 25), and the age of the vehicle (over 10/15/20).

    Try Axa or Aviva as they will do standard motor policies on older cars. The next issue after that is the telephone number length quote they'll probably give you.

    There is also the 3 declines and refer option where someone declined 3 times can force a quote under the "Declined Cases Agreement" See the Irish Insurance Federation: http://www.insuranceireland.eu/consumer-information/general-non-life-insurance/motor

    Mt wife's first car was a Nissan march, and got insured no problem, here in Cavan. She was over 25 however. PM me if you want the brokers name who organised it. Nec.
