Car Insurance For A Mercedes

A German corporation, Mercedes-Benz is a division of Daimler AG with roots that trace back to Karl Benz’s invention of the first petroleum powered car. Dubbed the Benz Patent Motorwagen, the car was patented in 1886. The first Mercedes automobile was brought to market in 1901, with the Mercedes-Benz brand name introduced in 1926 after the merger of Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler’s automobile company. Today, Mercedes-Benz is one of the best known and most established automobile brands in the world and is the oldest car brand still in existence.

Mercedes-Benz has always been known for producing quality, reliable and durable cars, though according to J.D. Power surveys, this reputation declined in the late 1990s and 2000s. On the comeback ever since, Mercedes Benz climbed from 25th place to fifth place in the J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study in 2007 and to fourth place by 2008. In 2010, Mercedes-Benz is expected to sell around 200,000 vehicles in the U.S.

When insuring a Mercedes-Benz, the sticker price of the vehicle and luxury status will put you in the more expensive range of car insurance prices.
