W219 CLS 55 AMG Insurance

[szucchet]

Hi everyone!

Been looking around for my perfect CLS purchase but in the meantime been looking at Compare the Market for insurance quotes. They seem inline with what I was expecting but was wondering if there are any insider tips for AMG insurance/experience with specialist insurers! Also debating if a 2005 CLS would fall under "Classic Car" definitions

Thank you!!!! Think the only thing that might help out is the adding someone with a good driving record!

My post was slightly tongue in cheek but without knowing your age or driving history, it is difficult to make suggestions.

A tracker/alarm, such as Ghost, may reduce premiums as might limiting mileage.

I doubt that a 2005 car will qualify for "classic insurance.

This link regarding classic insurance surprised me.

As you suggested, insurance is a postcode lottery. Two drivers with identical driving records and ages/occupation can have wildly varying premiums based on their location. Adding an experienced sometimes older driver with an unblemished record can help reduce the premium.

Ghost is not availalbe for W219s.

Ghost is not availalbe for W219s.

It appears Autowatch Ghost is only suitable for cars from 2011>
I'm sure there are capable alternatives that will fit the W219 and earlier cars.

I would always recommend adding a partner regardless just to see.

I once added my other half not long after she had had a minor prang and my insurance on my car was still cheaper even though my record was clean...

Try Admiral. I got a decent rate from them recently.

I ended up with them too! Really reasonable quote for the insurance with the mods declared too!

Good to hear. they seem quite competitive at the moment. I added my home insurance onto my multicar policy and saved about £300 on the home insurance and all the cars got an extra 10% discount.

I should have done this! But have quite a good quote with Natwest on the home insurance and a few toys I keep inside! I’ll give it a thought come renewals!

Will definitely do!!! Thanks for the tip!

You can now get a 2005 cls55 on a limited mileage policy, like a modern classic. This is what i have done with mine as its not my everyday car. Brings cost down significantly.

Have you tried MoneySuperMarket? I am below £300 for my car, however, I note your are in the Manchester area so I would assume you will be slightly higher.
