The five most expensive vehicles to insure Buyers must consider a host of factors before purchasing a new vehicle. While the make, model and color of the vehicle may garner the bulk of buyers' attention, the cost of the vehi- cle bears consideration as well. The sticker price is important, but the cost of insuring a vehi- cle also can determine just how much a vehicle will cost buyers each month. Insurance premiums are de- termined after providers con- sider various factors, including the age of the driver, his or her accident history and how much he or she drives. The make and model of the vehicle also goes a long way toward determining just how much drivers will have to pay to insure their cars and trucks. The insurance compari- son site The Zebra (www.theze- bra.com) notes that the follow- ing were the five most expen- sive vehicles to insure in 2020. 1. BMW i8: Getting behind the wheel of this high-perfor- mance sports car cost drivers an average of $4,303 in insur- ance premiums. That's a rela- tively small price to pay for a ve- hicle with a manufacturer-sug- gested retail price (MSRP) of $147,500. 2. Maserati Quattroporte: A luxury sports sedan with an MSRP just under $100,000, the sleek Maserati Quattro- porte cost drivers an average of $4,062 in annual insurance premiums. 3. Nissan GT-R: As a manufac- turer, Nissan might not be asso- ciated with the world's most ex- pensive automakers. But its GT- R, a high-performance sports luxury vehicle with an MSRP of $113,540, will cost drivers a luxury-like $ 3,864 in annual in- surance premiums. 4. Maserati GranTuris- mo: With the highest MSRP ($150,380) of any car in the top five, the Maserati GranTurismo might be seen as a relative bar- gain to insure, costing drivers an annual average of $ 3,735. 5. Mercedes-Benz S -Class: The S -Class is a classic Mer- cedes-Benz luxury sedan with an MSRP of $ 94,250. Drivers can expect to pay an annual premium of $ 3,684 to insure this sleek and stylish example of classic luxury. Now's the time to get your COVID-19 vaccine!

For assistance, call 211 Smoke at Solutions A faulty washing machine in Solutions last Friday morning caused some tense moments for employees and customers. "It didn't real- ly amount to anything," said Petersburg Fire Chief Ross Elmore. He said the timer on a washing machine in the hair salon on Main St., Petersburg started smoking. The employees smelled smoke and evacuated the building. Elmore said they used a thermal imager and found the hot spot on the washing machine. "We unhooked everything and let them get back to work. They just couldn't do any laundry," said Elmore. A-8 Wednesday, September 8, 2021 The Press-Dispatch
