Hello all as the title suggests I am thinking of picking up an E51 but as I am doing more research I have come across the word 'expensive' A LOT. I honestly don't mind as its a lot of car and I am happy to pay for maintenance and fuel. The one thing I don't like paying a lot for is insurance. My problem is that I have 0 years no claims (years of company cars and named driver on policies). Is there much difference in insurance for the 2.5 and 3.5L engine.
Just to give some background my current car (2.8L saloon) is under my older brothers name (so I'm named driver on the policy) and my first year cost 2k, which hurt but I didn't mind paying. The insurance magically dropped to 700 in the second year. The difference with the Elgrand is that I would ideally like to have it under my name, but accept that might not be the best decision financially.
I wanted to get some opinions from members if they have come across anyone else in the same boat as me?
