I had a bit of a shock today.
I paid £800pa for my XKR-S so, 4 months into the policy, I was expecting a small increase for the SLS
Try nearly £600 extra for the remaining 8 months
So, as an annual equivalent, that car is £1600 a year to insure
![Crazy :crazy: :crazy:](/styles/mbclub/smilies/crazy.gif)
This is with a £1k voluntary + £350 compulsory excess.
Saying this, it does cover my girlfriend and her dad too - she's only 28 and makes virtually no difference to the premium, her dad is 59 and he costs me an extra £150....work that one out!! All of us have clean histories and only I have 3 points for an SP50.
Anyway, whilst this is not unexpected for the kind and value of a car such as the SLS, it shows how much of a bargain both the Jag and my previous 911 Turbo were to insure...both had similar performance to the AMG yet both cost nearly half the price to cover. Only my Maserati came close to the SLS at £1450pa.....and for no reason either as that had nowhere near the owner and was considerably lower value than all the above.
