Insuring a Jap import .

[MRBILLYUK]

Does it cost more to insure an imported Japanese motor compared to a UK model ? If so , how much more roughly are we talking ? A bit , hell of alot and why ?

yes it normally does, but i depends a lot on what car an your age

I'm considering a DC5 at the moment, I'm too scared to do any quotes at the moment though lol, watch this space.

Finding a decent one is a mission in itself

What japcrap are you thinking or buying mate?

Sky Insurance

Adrian Flux

A-Plan Insurance

I have been quoted £992 for a 2002 DC5, as long as it has a Thatcham Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser.

Fully- comprehensive cover.

Excess is £250.

I'm 24, have 5-years NCB and the car is registered to a low-crime, rural area.

Bell are ok too.

Imported RX7, 21 2 years NCB. Rural area comes to £790 fully comp.

Admiral did a fine job insuring any i have had....except a Honda Crx for some reason but that was yrs ago. Worth giving them a try.

It's not actually for me . A guy at work was asking me if insurance premiums are higher on imported vehicles . He's been looking at 350Z's .

Tell him to be careful with import 350Zs, they had some s**t spec levels available in Japan, no Brembos and gash wheels
