Insurance - Click HERE for Original Thread

Hey, my friend bought a skyline gtr recently from Japan.

He was telling me about the appraisal insurance.

Since the gtr never came to Canada, he'll need to appraise it to pay insurance.

I was wondering, does this apply to the Fairlady Z as well? I know it was here in North America as the 300zx, but will appraisal insurance work?

Thanks

Your insurance company should know better than anyone. If you do plan on insuring for fire/theft/collision with your insurance company, then they usually say an appraisal is mandatory for an imported car that is unique to our Canadian market.

You might be able to get away with the value of a 300ZX if you can convince them that the only difference between a Fairlady Z is the name. But it might be better to get an appraisal anyways.

what about for something like a supra? would insurance for a JDM supra be similar to a CaDM supra? their pretty much the same car, except the steering wheels on the other side

I'm not 100% certain, but I think as long as it's the same car with the same name, then they go by the same value as a LHD car.

With basic coverage, insurance won't be more unless your company is filled with douchebags. They appraise the value of the car, thats what determines how expensive your full coverage will be. I don't have collision, therefore I only pay $111 a month for PLPD and fire and theft.

can they actually charge more for basic coverage then the rates set out by the govt just cause its JDM? im not sure if AMA is filled with douchebags, but they are pretty easy to deal with whenever i have questions. how is fire/theft rates usually set on a JDM car? its like 60 a year for my BMW, so how did it compare to your CRX?
