Mercedes C63 AMG as a daily runner

Update - the lady inheriting the car got a quote of £6400 and that was the cheapest and third party with a £1500 excess. She also didn’t realise the road tax was over £600 a year.

She was stifled on how people can afford to run these types of cars

People can and do run such cars as daily’s. Not people who’re currently running around in mid-spec Fiestas, however.

And the insurance certainly won’t plummet back to real world levels in subsequent years 😏

Care to explain how in your fairytale you have an excess on a Third Party policy?

There is/was an insurer who did an all section excess. Couple of threads in the past about £3k.

It could do. My neighbour has one and pays just over £900 a year for comprehensive insurance.
