Hi,
Newcomer just joined both the forum and MB ownership. Bought a pre reg SLC250d, this was to replace my wife's 2015 Mini Cooper S convertible and my 2016 Mazda MX5 Sports Nav.....thought it about time to get respectable. My wife and I are 77, no medical problems, I have a three year old SP30 my wife license is clean, both of us have maximum NCB in our own right . Mileage is around 5000 a year, the car is kept in a locked garage.
However, bit surprised at my insurers quote for next year, £ 621 fully comp. Previously my wife was paying £312 and the MX5 cost me £246. In fact my current insurer Esure is the cheapest I can find so far. Many insurers just give silly numbers when I tell them our ages......£4970 in one case.
Incidentally I have been with my present insurer for about fifteen years.
Any other old codgers experiencing ageism?
Brian.
