Why insurance Mercedes, especially the class C, so cheap? It's funny how I was qouted a cheaper rate of insurance for a 2003 Mercedes, a 1994 Toyota Corolla.
MB buyers tend to be older drivers with higher incomes. This demographic is a pretty safe bet for insurance companies. They are also less frequently stolen and tend to have owners who are demanding the protection of the car.
DUH! where the person is most likely to destroy their cars? Mercedes Benz car owner $ 40,000 or $ 12.500 a Toyota Corolla owner? Scion Car insurance rates have astronimical because many drivers crash teenager he grafts. I know we pay for the sins of others.
Insurance premiums in most states are calculated by postal ZIP code of the owner, driver age, marital status, insurance claims, the amount of insurance coverage and driving record .
H_charlies is right on. I used to have Hyundai Tiburon and now C320. Guess what, the Tiburon is more expensive to insure and for good reason.
Curiously, if people cut me off now, I really did not care. My very slow for others to come in my way. For some reason, you are a driver more relaxed and attentive in the C320 compared to the Tiburon. I even recently driven to work and kept my speed to 70. I am 24 years old. Its crazy. My average speed on the Tiburon 85 years. I think there is a reason for the difference in insurance.
Of course the characteristics of active and passive safety does not hurt.
How many Mercedes cars have you seen recently in an accident?
There are several factors that go into insurance rates.
Some answers here are logically wrong in regard to your question. Although driver age, sex, income, etc., play a role, these factors DO NOT CHANGE depending on your car.
What change is the engine power, braking ability, handling and safety. If you do not provide a model C-Class AMG C-Class is your slow like a slug. This allows insurance. Mercedes is also a world leader in security. The safety features built into your car (airbags, DSC, ABS, etc.) makes you more likely to be able to avoid an accident.
In addition, the solid structure and absorption to help reduce crashes cost the most expensive - personal injury accident.
So if an 18-wheeler trying to sideswipe you on the highway in a corolla, not only do you not being able to avoid the accident, as you can in a MB, your injuries are more serious in the corolla 94.
These factors offset the higher cost of fixing the 2003 Mercedes away.
What the Comany is REALLY sure of ...
This is the main risk because the cars do not drive themselves ...
