Will they ensure me for this car?
|
when im 18 i will go and study in england. my dad told me that he will buy me a Mercedes slk (the new sports) for my birthday. the only problem is... will they ensure an 18 year old in the uk with such a fast car? ~it goes 200km.~
thanx in advance :-) Additional Details Sorry for the spelling? That’s why i can't become an English teacher.

Your Dad may be rich enough to buy you an SLK but will he be prepared to pay for insurance which will cost you or him thousands of pounds per year that is assuming that you can find an insurance company prepared to take the risk.
Perhaps you should set your sights a bit lower and buy a more sensible car which is better suited to a new young driver. |

you could get 'insured' not ensured, but it will cost your daddy a fair whack...
i hope your cosmetic procedures will be better than your english......
its 'insure' hun, not 'ensure' |

If you are willing to pay then there will be a company willing to insure you. Obviously Daddy has plenty of cash, so money won't be an issue for you will it? |

A top speed of 200 km/h (125mph) is not fast.
As you don't know how fast the car will go, it's pretty obvious you are not actually getting one, isn't it...?
155mph is 249km/h, not 200km/h as you incorrectly stated. Why are you bothering to make this all up? |

Sorry there is no chance. You will have to make do with a much lower value and engine size car at your age. A Vauxhall/Opel Corsa for example and not a sporty model. You will also need a UK driving licence to get UK insurance unless for a hire car.
Also remember that unless you have an EU country licence you will need to take a test in the UK within 12 months of arrival if you wish to continue to drive here |

If your father can afford the car im pretty sure he can afford the insurance, you will get insured but it surely wont be cheap. |

As auto insurance is mandatory someone MUST be able to insure you, however be prepared to pay between £10,000 and £20,000 per year for insurance, if you're lucky. |

It's very likely that no company will insure an 18-year-old with a car that fast and that expensive, unless Dad knows someone at Lloyd's of London. Better lower your expectations. |

Firstly, it can only go 70 mph in the uk, that's the country max limit.
Secondly, you will have to be at least 21 with a good driving record to be able to get a quote, some companies will probably insist that you are over 25. |
