I've been meaning to start a thread on this subject for a while, but a typo in someone else's thread (whereby "lenient on mods" became "lenient on kids" ) finally prompted me to start a thread.
Junior D is 14 years old now and forever asking me how much her insurance will be when she learns to drive. It started years ago when she wanted us to keep our W163 ML so she could have it as her first car, but that's no longer with us, so then she said she wanted our W164 ML.
I've tried to help her understand that although I would for her to be able to have it the insurance will be too expensive if we could even find an insurer to cover her in it, and I think she gets that now, but I have to guess wildly when she says "How much would it be insure an Xyz".
I know there are many variables which will mean that you can't directly compare insurance premiums but I would be really interested to find out how much the first year insurance cost was for your children, and which car it was for, especially if it has been in the last couple of years.
PS Baby D told his sister that he wanted the W164 ML, to which Junior D made it very clear that he couldn't, as she had first dibs on it, and he couldn't have it because it's the only car she would want. Quick thinking, he asked if she was sure, before saying that he'd have the W166 ML then! The look on her face was priceless!
