Hi there looking to buy a C5 RS6 avant, possibly modified but not engine/gearbox mainly chassis. I am 38, solicitor, wife is 34, teacher. Both clean licence and four years no claims, car garaged in Bexley.

Current car is M3 E46 conv. Cost for that was £600 a year.

Am I in for a shock if I insure an RS6 and is a tracker compulsory?

Any info would be appreciated.

try swiftcover.com - they have a pretty quick online quote system

swiftcover came back with £426.....yeeeeeeeee---haaaaaaaaaaaah.

by the way i'm 44 protected ncd, a couple of speeding SP30's in the last 5 years, garaged with tracker in lincs.

Location is always a massive influence. Northern Ireland is high full stop but the cheapest for me is £1016 - 5 years no claims protected 3 currents points but 6 declared (up to 5 years) age 34.

The insurance cost is nothing compared to running it.

Oh how true!
I'm paying about 260 a year with a 5k miles limit, 35 years old living in Lincolnshire. Full protected NCB included. A single front Plus disc cost me more than my annual premium! ;)

Yep - £500 for four new Vred's last Monday, and £1600 for new discs and pads all round tonight - insurance is the cheap part!

Tracker was fitted as standard IIRC

I found Admiral cheapest at around £800 with full ncb, 12k a year, Bucks - 38 year old IT middle manager. Not sure if Tracker made a difference, or "mods" - the replaced suspension - for that matter

£750 a year for mine with Admiral on the Multicar Policy. No NCB (i claimed last feb), no points, driveway, 28 years old, MRC map, miltek and Billies (no additional premium charges for DRC replacements as its a safety thing).

As mentioned above. The insurance is the least of your worries.
