I don't have a MB yet but just got some quotes from Allstate monday. I'm 18, no tickets, one accident not my fault.
My current Camry is $2400 per year for liability and theft.
A 300SDL would cost me $2680 per year for the same coverage.
A 560SEL/SEC would run me $3000 per year for the same.
Thats not that bad I know someone who pays 5k a year.
