These are the things for the car I want. The Total price is £42,000. Can anyone give me an estimate on what insurance would be for a new driver on this car?

There's so many factors which determine how much an insurance premium would be. Do quotes, we aren't the insurers.

My guess though is that a new driver will not be able to get insurance on a car like that though.

This thread should be in the Cars and motoring forum. I'll just tag @AngryJellyfish to get this moved over there :smile:

Too subjective. In London, no-one would insure me on that for less than £7k with probably a high excess and/or a box.

Too many factors to name but unless you’re making bank, I doubt it would be affordable. It certainly wouldn’t be a smart idea

Probably would cost an arm and a leg to be fair.

Best bet would be to get a quote on a reliable search engine like comparethemarket. Loads of factors are taken into account such as your age all the way down to whether you have a driveway or not. Having a driveway means you pay slightly less.

My guess would be that it would cost you at least 5 bags meaning £5K

Get a quote.

Depends on the age of the new driver, location etc but i’d guess about £10-15k without a black box, £3-5k with.

I know someone who got this car. Let me tell you, they spent their entire savings just to buy this car. The insurance cost them £2000 without blackbox and the car itself costs them £32,0000.

As others have clearly stated it depends on the insurer itself. And there is no way that a new driver would be legible to drive such a car in the first instance anyways.

My previous car, the C250 was similar in power and in insurance group (It was grp 38). The spec you're referring to would be around group 40.
For comparison, I had 5 years exp, 0 NCB, age 23, costed around £1700 for insurance at the time.

Edit: I probably wouldn't get it brand new if I were you. Chances are you're going to kerb all the alloys and ding it all over, especially given its size.

Are you having a laugh?
Good luck affording that.
Like someone else said- There's so many factors which determine how much an insurance premium would be. Do quotes, we aren't the insurers.

I doubt anyone will insure you on one of those. But feel free to try.
