£1.5k per month will barely cover a ford fiesta. I wouldn't buy any of tbe cars you mentioned with £5k per month spending money

Browsing old posts about R8s brought up this classic piece of ignorance.

In case anyone else was reading this thread looking at the various claims for costs, here’s another data point.

Bought my R8 V8 three years ago for £39,000, paid £400 per year for insurance, about £200 a year for servicing, and £600 for two new tyres.

I sold it yesterday for £42,000.

Total cost to own, excluding petrol, was therefore -£600.

Resident troll’s suggested no-one should enter into buying a car like this unless they’ll have £180,000 spending money available over the three years...

A 13 month old whoosh parrot required?

Yes, he was trolling, and as I pointed out, I thought I’d add another data point that went against his narrative.

I entirely "got' Audmars's trolling, equally though, James was responding beyond Audmars's point, which I think was kinda obvious by his post.

Have your parrot back.

He referred to it as a classic piece of ignorance, hence why i put a question mark on my post. Stop getting upset over a parrot reference that wasn't even aimed at you.
