Odd request, I'm intrested in buying a 350Z but would ideally like to have a few days with one? So has anyone seen anywhere that could offer something more than just a test drive? Thinking my age may be more of a problem with a rental to.. (20)?

Google is your friend here. Try prestigehire or similar. You can get a variety of high end cars for 400 to 1500 per day. Good luck though at 20 years old. Out of curiosity, what's your insurance going to cost if you do buy one?

Given people of your age are having to pay upwards of £1500 just to run a £200 shopping box, what is your secret to insuring a Fiesta ST for under a grand ?
2nd that

Hmm possibly, although i have just got 5 years no claims and mine has only gone down to mid £600's so it's a bit hard to believe.

I insured around the end of June, I'm not sure i'm allowed to name? But they are part of a group with a big grey animal, a ship geezer.

I'm on a 10 month accelerated policy, which gives me a years no claims 2 months earlier.

I am the main driver, i have added my mum & my aunty to the policy to bring the price down.
I have declared exhaust and induction kit.
It's based on 5000 miles per year although it is not a limited mileage policy.

They main catch with this group is the intrest, If i chose to pay monthly it was more than double. So a big saving by paying up front.

Other little things i noticed such as leaving it on the street instead of the driveway, £200 difference was silly, similar to Trenter5 (?) with his GTR...?

The price was approx £900

Also for those asking about shopping trolleys.. a 1.2 Corsa (52 reg) Would have cost more..

Accident figures etc is all i can think of the reasoning behind this?
Value of car?

Thats another. with it valued at £20 more it saved money... just being the other side of £5000.

I'm 21 and have a 350z. If you want to hire one to see if you like it, have you driven one at all?

Might be worth poking your head in the 350z-uk forum and seeing if there is anyone local to you. Good bunch of guys.

Would highly recommend a GT car with the optional brembos and rays wheels! My insurance was about 1200 on my 21st birthday I think.
