Might be worth giving Mercedes a try?

When I bought the C63, I had an Admiral Multi policy - they wouldn't touch it. I tried a couple of different sites (best being Adrian Flux), and they were about 15-20% more than I had the SL insured for (about £600). I thought I might as well given Mercedes a go, and they came in @

..... £280

I queried the quote, as the Admiral price was originally heavily front-loaded with first year/new customer reductions and savings, which had happened with Aviva (who, oddly, underwrite the Mercedes Scheme) the previous year - cost was nearly double the first year, but I was told that there aren't that many C63C125s, and they tend not to get bent.

Haha, I'm thinking of cancelling but my hopes of a full refund look very poor.

I have given myself a good telling off over this!

I'll get a Mercedes quote.

Not at all Corned. I'm grateful to see what I have done. My own fault for not checking out the company and taking them at face value.

Pick up the car in 3.5hrs so it's not all bad.

Direct Line covers the CLS55 for £350, cheaper than they did the S203!
