What are typical servicing/ownership costs to expect ?

[dng992]

Complete newb to the brand. Really just wanting to gather some initial info

What are the costs really to expect - I guess more on servicing, as ownership is like any other expensive/performance car right?

Assuming you buy a couple of years old

Also any personal comparisons anyone has had to other supercar/higher end brands would be keen to hear

I thought you were buying a McLaren - or is it an AMG - or is it a Ferrari ?

Your spamming appears to cover almost every question a buying guide and/or previous threads in almost every supercar section here have previously covered !

In March it was a budget of 40k for 997. Are peoples lives so boring they start a chain of fanciful threads on the internet.

yes £50k cash put down and I own that right now...looking at moving on to something in 100k range cash around year end. No need to hate lol, just asking around because I actually like to be shrewd in something I am putting cash into, or I could just go get a brand new shiny toy and be paying finance forgetting the considerable lump sum and end up in circle for the next 10 years

No need to hate lol, just asking around because I actually like to be shrewd in something I am putting hard earned money into, or I could just go get a brand new shiny toy and be paying finance and worry about all that later lmao

Any pics of the pork? Congrats on the purchase.

At the beginning of April it was subject to inspection - nothing since: I think the custard test is required

I think JM’s post was a sneaky way of laying down the custard test

As you haven't even suggest what model of car, don't expect anyone to just jump with helpful advice - What does it cost to run and service a Lamborghini... In short, a lot.... More than a Boxster for sure

I haven't seen your previous posts so cant comment on those
