Keeping a 570S or 600LT outside, no garage

[dank]

So I am looking at the 570S, but don’t have a garage. Is the car going to suffer from being exposed to the elements all the time. Also when I am away with work I won’t have the ability to use a battery conditioner, again is just starting it, and letting it run whilst parked for half an hour every week ok to keep the battery from being buggered? PCP deals on the, seem quite doable, PCP deals on the 600lt are insanely tempting, but would be worried about the car being kept outside.

Ah so essentially I can’t have one until I get a garage? My car spaces are too far from anywhere near that I could run a cable from.... dream shattered .... ☹️😫

I have a solar charger for my 911 turbo and it’s rubbish, does nothing - so don’t think that will work for the 570S...

I live in a gated area and parking is fine, never had any issues in 13 years so that’s the issue - the battery dying and costing a fortune to replace is the issue with living outside

Ok so it seems I should be ok, as long as I drive it weekly or don’t leave for long periods without use... in truth I think I’ll be driving it all the time!

The rear engine cover has a lot of holes / open areas - and the 600LT has some rather large openings, is water ingress going to cause any issues - assume proper water channels are built in to remove rain water etc

Thanks for all the help, looks like i am back in the game for a 570s or 600lt !

Thanks for this! Cannot wait to get one now!!!

Just been doing some man maths on 570S

so essentially PCP means you are 'hiring' the car for say 2 years - cost of hiring excluding fuel, tyres insurance etc is around £45k - so £22.5k per year

Then hand car back

Or, i could buy a used Gallardo for £70-80k - keep for two years - sell for say £50 in 2 years and only loose £20k?

Then again are running costs going to be £10-20k for 2 years??? I am used to running a 911 turbo, so know services etc can all add up, easy to get a £2-3k bill, but not used to 5-10k bills and that scares me!!

thats a stunning colour, caleum blue!

I understand that the newer Macca in theory shouldn't have issues, but is it worth £20k more over two years... ?
