Hey guys Im looking into buying a c63 in the upcoming few months. Im turning 19 next month so I wanna see what the average insurance rate is like for this age group. This is the first car I'm looking to buy within the US.

Im a foreign/international driver who moved over 5 months ago to study. I'm currently studying in the Michigan area.

Im looking forward to receiving the feedbacks. Thanks

it always worries me when a 18 yr old gets his hand on a c63

I concur, Its kinda scary considering the C63 is a lot of car for a driver with fairly little driving experience. Especially if they are driving it in bad weather!

wow, those insurance rates are better than I thought they'd be; only slightly less than mine, and I'm almost twice that age!

I was thinking of the same thing but then I realized that I had my first Benz
when I just turned 17.

Back then we could get our written license when I was 16 and then wait 8

months to get driver license and that's what I did.


So it all depends when someone started driving.

The videos I see on youtube- suggests that someone in India, Russia or China can drive better than some of the very experienced drivers here lol

Why? I had my CL63 when I was 19. And it was my first fast car ever.. Although it's true that, quite a few times, I almost crashed being reckless trying to beat physic laws. But thanks to my driving skills I'm still here

Ok I already left if you're looking for me

I wouldn't say its the age that matters I think it comes down to how much driving experience and how much time behind the wheel they have. I'm 20 and have already log over 4,000 hours of driving time and have done more driving then some people Ik that are in there mid 20s to 30s.

What he said

Kriston

You are right, but remember you represent a very small demographic. The majority of new drivers may not be as comfortable behind the wheel of a car like the C63 as you.

I hate you all. Insurance is expensive here in Germany. You have to have 1 million Euro as minimum liability coverage for property. I reckon it is in case you hit a church from the 1500's. Looking forward to being back in the states. The insurance on my MY14 was 80% more than the quote on a MY13.

Did anyone else see a big jump from the model years?

mikeyyyallday

i have like 6 speeding tickets..im 20 now. I'm insured through geico…$3.4k for 6 months lmao…2011 c63 w/ p31

edwardsflight33

I like mikey

mikeyyyallday

how long does it take before your insurance starts going down…? i like driving fast…but cops are every damn where in hawaii!!! this island is too small lol

dcho

it'll be less than a wrx or evo!

jmueller

Ironically, my insurance went down 50$ (per six months) when I switched from my 2010 G37 Coupe to the C63 Coupe. I guess this is a safer car? Insurance companies underrate them? Food for thought.

Mikey, wow those are some insane rates. Wonder if Hawaii is expensive all around regardless of driving record? Perhaps being over 21 will move you into a different demographic. I'd suggest you to get married, but that's an expensive way to save a few bucks on auto insurance.

If I were an insurance co underwriting an under 21 in a C63 I'd want a fortune.

After driving v8's and a v12 back home i don't think so i would be able to settle in for something less.

JayCeeBENZ

+1 This is the same as in my home country. You could easily start learning to drive by the age of 12 just because it aint that developed yet.

rediesel

Same as dcho mentioned with respect to the WRX or EVO being more expensive to insure. The car's rate has to do not only with cost and performance but also with the demographics who own them (make claims on them). Because WRX and EVO, and G37/350Z are owned by younger more spirited drivers there are more frequently claims against those models, so they become more expensive to insure. Not due to any performance, cost, or safety issue, but due to the habits of the car's owner base. Car's owned by older less spirited drivers (with fewer claims) become relatevely less expensive.

edwardsflight33

You can get quotes from insurance companies. See what is out there for sale and have them quote the VIN. Compare the different model years too. Like I said the MY14 was 80% more for me than a MY13. You might still be able to pick up a new '13 off a lot at a steal compared to the '14, even though there isn't anything different on the base model.
