ML62 AMG 6.3 Insurance

[cjb44]

Before I totally commit to one of these I have an insurance question. Anyone with this model care to impart what would be a reasonable fully comp. figure.
I live in a low risk area and the car would only be used for low mileages, not used for commuting to work, full no claims etc. parked on a driveway. So far I have received a quote for £589.00 from my current insurer and a quote of £1,500 from Classic Line (who I have used before), the chap from Classic Line agreed that the quote was ridiculous but he felt the on drive parking and capacity was the problem. I must admit I knew, that the quote would far exceed my current policy cost, and would consider that the £589.00 was probably not that bad.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.

I have recently acquired a Ml63, albeit the later 5.5 biturbo,I'm paying £503.00
Full no claims,nice area,46 year old.

I don't think its a bad price considering the performance.

Thanks for that, any clue for me on the company you used.

Any one else got any info to share

I'd suggest going on one of the standard comparison websites and trying there, it's a quick way to get a lot of quotes in one hit and you may well find a good number.

It's not quite the same level of power or capacity, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the £290 quote that moneysupermarket found for my C55 estate.

For more specialist cars (significantly tuned, imports, supercars) you may need to ring around, but I think the comparison sites may work well for many AMGs.

Direct line.
I added agreed value,legal cover and direct replacement hire car to the standard policy.

And triple check the excess. My Saga renewal 'quietly' upped at renewal from £250 compulsory to £750 compulsory and £500 'voluntary'.

Usual musical chairs and headed back to Hastings with a £100 total.

Sure I don't need to point this out, but you all know the deal with adding your wife, sister and mother. And try and be added as a named driver to any one of their policies.

New joiner quote of £960 reduced to £315.

And make sure to stress the lower mileage (as with lockdown). This saved me over £300 on policy

Should add Central London on street parking with 14y NCB but mega claim (my fault) previous year.

And just remembered, got into a really ill tempered call from them as to why I hadn't declared the replacement windscreen two years earlier.

My explanation that when I called it in (from the motorway) insurer said call Windscreen ((whoever) and deal direct with them. Never mentioned again but not a happy underwriter years later
