Well as some of you know sold my CLK55 AMG to Olly and bought an Audi A5 3.0 TDI Quattro. Now what surprised me is this.
1) The market value of the new Audi is £47K a lot more than the eight year old CLK.
2) the performance of both cars are similar (0-60 @ 5.5 for the CLK; and 5.8 for the Audi and both limited to 155mph max)
Yet when changing my car details LV advised me that my insurance will be £80 cheaper for the rest of the year - and that's on a premium of £515 for the CLK.
Puzzling - maybe they think the Audi is a car older slower drivers use
any thoughts?
