Shop around if you get 3 refusals a company has to quote you under the law Skylines are hard to insure simply because there seen as a boy racer car another way is to just buy the car and transfer the insurance over from a Bravo want model Skyline are youu looking at is it Turbo

Have you tried on a 200sx?

:rolleyes: read the charter OP or even post a comment in the help and feedback thread.

In regards to your question. Skylines dont tend to be usually well driving by young people to powerful, back wheel drive, boy racer rep. Also insurance companies dont think highly of this comment "since im clearly a safe driver"<that would set alarm bells ringing to me of a driver why thinks their good(and therefor a little cocky) but is clearly in need of more experience before getting their hands on a skyline.

Haynesey · 21-07-2010 05:10PM

im keeping the bravo though aswell its just a 2.5 litre non turbo a 200 sx jus aint the same as a skyline its the car i want and nothing could change my mind not even my girlfriend!:D

Do you actually know anything about cars? If the skyline is a boyracer car I'll eat a cowboy hat.

Skylines are hard to insure because they're in the highest insurance risk bracket. If you want a quote on it - Ring quinn, ask to speak to a manager. He'll quote you if you already have the car.

Haynesey · 21-07-2010 05:22PM

so he would only quote me if i have the car?

djimi · 21-07-2010 05:22PM

There are a lot of insurance companies who wont quote anyone of any age or experience on a car like a Skyline; I know when I was trying to get insurance on my Integra before I gave any information to the company I told them the car and most said no straight away.

As has been said you could try transfer the insurance from the Bravo to the Skyline as they have to allow you to do this, but that is not to say they wont charge you big money to make the change and then for your renewal. Same goes for them having to quote you after 3 refusals; nothing to stop them asking for €7k or something.

Find a broker in your area who deals with Setanta and try them. Also try Britton. If you can handle their terms and conditions then XS Direct are another company who will probably quote you, but you could (and probably will) end up with a €4k excess on the policy.

I sympathize with you tho; I was 26 with 8 years driving experience behind me before I even got a quote of any kind for an Integra Type R. You may just have to put that dream car on ice for a while!

If you'd taken the time to read the charter before posting you'd have known not to bump old threads. I suggest you read it now. Oh and welcome to Motors.;)

A 200sx would be a much better buy than a 2.5 n/a straight six Skyline, you get the same power but in a car thats cheaper to tax and vastly more tunable!

Are the 2.5 nasps in the Slyline as powerful as the 200sx ? I'm surprised at that, I'd take the 200sx personally. Can you get insured on the 2.0 nasp skyline OP ?

I know a bit about them alright

Most Skylines I see have Loud exhausts dump valves bodykits lowered suspension therefore are seen as a boy racer car in the Eyes of the general public and Im not getting into this whole boy racer v modified car enthusiast debate

Ive seen pently of muppets drive them same with any high performance jap car

Haynesey · 21-07-2010 05:38PM

so its the general publics fault i cant get insured damn them all to hell!!

cml387 · 21-07-2010 05:38PM

Two young people I know were killed in a Skyline 5 years ago.

21-07-2010 05:41PM

Not being a boy racer but having owned a lowered Celica with a noisy SS exhaust

and a Prelude

I would agree with

23 year olds with only 2 years NCB is hardly very experienced for a rwd sports car to be honest, surely you can appreciate that.

i can appreciate that how much experience do u need to drive a car 80mph? cause i wouldnt b speeding or doing it around corners!:D

21-07-2010 05:50PM

You can lose a rwd at an awful lot less than 80mph

How much are you paying to insure the Brava ?
