I love Lamborghini I want to own one when I grow up or a Aston Martin. I think I might be able to afford one when I grow up, based on the job I am gonna get. I going to save up for one my entire life!
Agreed - 25K, that is just not right for maintenance, way too much. I'd say over 5 years you'll average $3000-$5000 a year for most Ferraris, or $3 a mile, unless you blow an engine, which will cost you maybe $20,000 (for used) which includes all labor and a full service to make the car like new again.
My experience is friends that try to make them semi-daily drivers are in the shop once every other month, but usually because "something is not right," like a weird sound; catastrophic failure isn't that common on any of these. I mean, it will leave you on the side of the road if hoses blow off, for instance, but usually, catastrophic damage is due to negligence.
Insurance for most supercars, $1500-2000 a year. Not that bad.
I'd say that a person that makes around $140,000 a year and is not married could easily afford it; married, probably $200K a year. That is a decent income but not unattainable if you have a good day job say in IT and turn your hobbies into cash on the side.
I'm a college student, but I know someone that has a Gallardo.
These cars are crazy in-person. Ever since I saw the Gallardo in person, my life has changed. I don't care if the universe falls apart, I'm getting the Gallardo!!
