The Nissan Fairlady is a two-door sports car with a large V6 engine. Few people in Singapore insure one, and that shows in how few insurers price it online. This guide takes the costs one by one: the list price, the COE, road tax and car insurance.
The insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They are a way to compare, not a quote. Your premium depends on your own details.
One version on sale
The new-car list read on 2026-10-10 has a single version:
- Fairlady 3.0 Z V6: petrol, 2,997cc, 400bhp
The list gives its body type as Sports, made in Japan. Our quote form prices the same 3.0 Z V6.
The list price
As listed on 2026-10-10, the Fairlady 3.0 Z V6 was S$307,000, with COE included that day.
That figure moves with each COE round and with the dealer's own pricing. Ask for a current price in writing. When you compare offers, check that both include the same items.
COE for a 2,997cc engine
The price page is clear on this one. With a 2,997cc engine, above 1,600cc, the Fairlady needs a Category B COE. Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.
That premium changes every round. See the COE page for the latest bids.
Road tax: a large engine pays more
Road tax in Singapore rises with engine capacity. For the 2,997cc engine, LTA's formula, checked 2026-10-19, gives S$2,381.58 a year. That is before any age surcharge.
A car more than 10 years old pays extra:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
The road tax page covers other engine sizes.
Insuring the Fairlady
The Nissan Fairlady price page uses one fixed set of details:
- Car: Fairlady 3.0 Z V6, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 years
- Record: 50% no-claim discount (NCD), no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
Just 2 insurers price it online. The lower premium is S$1,677.70 a year. The other asks S$2,102.76, which is S$425.06 or 25% more. Both include 9% GST.
A wide gap in excess
The two plans differ sharply on excess, the sum you pay towards each claim. One carries S$600. The other carries S$2,500. Read both figures together with the premium when you compare.
Most insurers have no price
The page lists 17 insurers with no online price for the Fairlady. Almost all have no price for this model yet. One does not list it on its online quote. If you want more than two figures, you may need to ask insurers directly.
What changes the premium
The page keeps the driver and car the same and changes one detail at a time:
- No NCD (0%): S$3,279.72, which is S$1,602.02 more
- 20% NCD: S$2,625.40, which is S$947.70 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$3,431.11, which is S$1,753.41 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,833.38, which is S$155.68 more
- New car, registered this year: S$1,728.16, which is S$50.46 more
- Car 8 years old: S$1,596.89, which is S$80.81 less
A young driver with a lower NCD faces the steepest rise. The lowest price climbs 105%, to S$3,431.11. Losing the NCD alone is nearly as costly. The car's age moves the price only a little either way.
Each line is the lowest price of the two insurers. With so few prices, one insurer's change sets every line.
Next to similar cars
The price page sets the Fairlady beside six cars with engines of about 3 litres, for the same driver and car age:
- Alfa Romeo 166: S$2,897.48
- Audi Roadjet Concept: S$1,524.39
- Audi Q8: S$1,323.18
- Audi S4 Saloon: S$1,209.34
- Audi A8: S$1,092.69
- Audi Q7: S$1,002.60
Their average lowest price is S$1,508.28. The Fairlady comes in 11% above that, and 5 of the six are cheaper to insure. Some of these cars are priced by 8 to 14 insurers, so their figures rest on more prices. Other Nissan models are on the Nissan car insurance page.
Costs we cannot put a number on
- Petrol: a large engine and how far you drive set the bill, along with pump prices.
- Parking: season parking at your HDB block or condo, plus parking at work and elsewhere.
- ERP: depends on your routes and the time you travel.
- Tyres and servicing: sports cars often run on wider, costlier tyres. Ask what the maker's schedule and warranty cover.
- Depreciation: the drop in value over the COE life depends on the price you pay and what the car fetches later.
