i saw on autotrader a bmw z3 roadster.it had about 39k miles on a 97 selling close to 13k not bad considering almost 10 years old. my question is will my insurance go up? i was told if its a safer car the insurance might be cheaper but insurance companies see this as a sports car so im assuming it will go up...

 

If you're comparing it to your lancer, yes it will probably be a bit more expensive. The parts on a BMW are not cheap, plus a Z3 is a sports car.

 

Way up.

 

i live in las vegas i have a 05 ES tricked and i pay 120 a month i think it is high compared to my 86 toy4 runner 50 a month LOL

 

blacksheep
i seen your write up on the gauge in-stall
i want to get the 3 pod on the a-pillar and go that rought for my ES 05
air-fuel , , , what would you sugest for the other 2
and or i want to do the raido swap to put it down were the cubby is and put the 3 gauges were the radio is now
is it hard for a shop to do ,,i do not want to take it and they act like it is so hard and what should i look for as far as when i pick it up
and is the a-piller hard to get off
thanks

 

The Z3 is a 2 door roadster that was built ona track. Your insurence will almost double compared to your 4 door Lancer ES that was built to get groceries and take people to and fro in a gas saving fashion.

 

Wow, this is a funny thread for lancer general. It goes from insurance questions for a BMW, then hops to gauge pod questions.. lol.

 

that is to funny

 

$311 a month.

 

Maybe maybe not. Insurance is totally subjective. Its all about the person, their credit, the length of time with the company, record. Obviously the vehicle performance has something to do with it, I'm not foolish, and I think its foolish to say the rates are all about the performance first.

I bet that Z3 would cost me the same or less than the lancer in insurance based on age of the vehicle 97 vs 2002

 

All I can say imn my drunken state is i paay less than 100 a month for my for door 100hp family sedan. A bmw ill be a little higher.

 

You're missing the point. The person, credit, length of time and record all remain constant.
But he's going from a car worth 10k to a car worth probably double that. That is going to cause his premium to change.

 

The 1997 Z3 in really nice condition and low miles is under 10k
