........regarding running costs etc. I've read as many old threads as I can on 575s but would be grateful for any specific advice/comments from guys or girls who own or have owned a 575M and been through the ownership experience. I do know that they are not cheap to run obviously but wondered about component lifespan ie clutch,brakes,tyres etc; any big things, apart from cambelts...just read about those! My understanding is that if used regularly and serviced annually then they should be good for a daily runner and not wallet busting if an independent service centre is used?

Thanks in anticipation.

I have a 550 so not exactly the same but I cannot imagine any real difference.
Mine is a high days and holidays car and is kept in perfect condition with anything not 100% being fixed/replaced

The car does about 3k mileage a year and servicing/maintenace costs run at about the same.
As with any car you could buy one just after a belts service and run it with just annual services fairly cheaply for a couple of years if you were lucky. On the other hand discs/pads,tyres, suspension actuators etc are not cheap.

They are epic cars but I suspect the costs of running it daily would be steep - if you google for the evo running costs of the owners 550 it will probably give you some idea.

Have fun
