Hi everyone. I am planning to purchase the 2018 Audi S5 Coupe. I am only 19, so I was wondering if anyone knows the estimate insurance cost for this car?

For 2018 Audi S5 owners, can you guys let me know the cost of maintenance of the car?

Many Thanks:grin2::grin2:

1. You’re far too young to have the readies to buy a 2018 S5.
2. That you obviously do is clearly the product of a misspent youth.
3. Opinion is divided over whether we should be more jealous of you having the cash for an S5, or the misspent youth. The debate is likely to go on for some time...
Seriously, tomm, if Canadian insurance companies are anything like Australian ones, you’re more than likely to face a couple of challenges. The first will be finding an insurance company that will actually agree to insure a high performance car being driven by a 19yo. Assuming you do find one, I’m willing to bet that the premiums will be well up in the “f**k-ton” range. That is to say, astronomical!
Good luck!

What would you recommend for a 19 yrs old student?

My friend got a gle63 coupe and his insurance is 9k per year. So I was thinking S5 would be slightly cheaper since it is V6. I didnt think that people would consider me as a misspent youth. It is not RS5, come on

Depends on your financial situation...

If you have no debt, own your own home and make over $100k a year, then you can probably afford the luxury of a new S5. The fact you have done this at 19 is an incredible feat!
If you live at home, have thousands in student loan and other debts, and earn about $40k a year and are thinking of getting one on a lease deal, then you might want to rethink your financial priorities....

Anyone happy to throw nearly $10k to insurance companies either has too much money to burn or has little concept of 'value'...
I'm loathed to spend more than ÂŁ500 on my insurance!

Anyway, these are just rhetorical questions. Obviously don't want you to disclose your personal details to strangers on a forum!
Think carefully about the true cost of this and where it will leave you in 5/10/15years time.

As for what a 19yr old drives...I was driving a 5yr old Renault Clio worth about ÂŁ3,000....:thumbsup:

Hiya Tomm you lucky fellow!!! I remember that when I was your age I owned an almost new Honda CB750 which cost me ÂŁ1,000 and this bike was of course my pride and joy. A car-mad mate/neighbour purchased a stunning Lotus Elan Sprint and he offered it to me for a very reasonable ÂŁ2,000 so I asked an insurance company for a quote. They asked me for ÂŁ2,000 so I was forced to forget the Lotus........

Good luck!!!
