Sorry for the off topic! Wasn't looking for one but the deal struck me and I couldn't resist...Bought it earlier this year.

I figured someone would give the predictable cliche answer of "this is not the car for you". Your answer provided no info I was looking for. It's not a matter of affording it, but a matter of is it worth affording... Plus, you have no ownership experience. I was looking for someone with actual experience. As far as the wheels and tires go, I'd be inclined to put HRE wheels with Michelin tires on it. I have zero intention of taking the car to its limit. If I want to go fast I'll jump in a car I consider to be actually fast. This car is for the experience.

Having a few experienced Bugatti people in here, I've read all kinds of different things about Bugattis and their maintenance. As the early Bugattis age, what would you say ownership and maintenance costs would look like. I could see spending $1m on something like a 2008 car with some miles on it at some point down the line. But am I opening myself up for disappointment and potential six figure repair bills? I just wonder how they will age. A car like that would be worth the price of entry, but would not be worth it if the maintenance is painstaking. Any info or input you have I'll soak up like a sponge:)

I was looking at a 2012 Aventador from a family member of one of the members on this forum and it had a check engine light on. Dealer was 300 miles away so that's why he hadn't had it sent in yet. I told him I'd take the car once it got checked out and engine light issue resolved from dealer. Turned out to be a head gasket replacement as well. Fortunately I didn't just go ahead and buy it. It was just past warranty period but they did end up taking care of him on it. With that said, I still passed on the car as it concerned me... Pretty crazy. Would definitely stay away from 2012's for this reason and for transmission issues...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting a PPI done on an Aston Martin in the San Francisco area? Thanks!

Honest curiosity, what don't you like posting your kids online?

One thing I have a hard time withis any more 840hp is soooo easy to make and have it be reliable. So I get that this car you should be able to flog on all day under warranty, but for the money it's going to cost and the ugliness and weight of this pig, I don't see what all the excitement is about.

Finally bought my first Ferrari--well 2 actually!

I will absolutely own a CS in the near future. Had a deposit on a 2k mile 1 owner car a few years back and purchase price was $160k. Ended up passing on it for no good reason. But it's probably my next "big" purchase. That or a 675 LT but the CS gets me giddy every time I see them. My first time experiencing one was about 5 years ago at Houston Cars and Coffee. I was down there to look at a Rosso Metis Gallardo at the Lambo dealer and went to Cars and Coffee first. Of all the cars there that morning the CS messed me up the most for some reason. Then I proceeded to the dealer to look at the Gallardo (passed on it because I didn't love the color) and low and behold they were having their running of the bulls. It was when the Aventador had just come out, so to see several that morning was pretty epic. But what stuck with me was the CS. It also attended that morning among about 40-50 Lambos and believe it or not, the CS was my favorite car there and the Lambo dealer. Still can't explain why... But needless to say I fell in love with them that day and will own one. Congrats! -
Man, this would really frustrate me as a Mclaren customer to have them change body styles this often.

86k miles! Congrats! -
I actually have not bought one yet. Wanting to talk to someone about what the potential is on the V8's. Because if I can turn those up to 600-650 then I'll probably go the V8 route. If not, I'll go the W12 route. I'm indifferent at this point so I'm just wanting to talk to someone about power potential and make my decision on which car to buy based on that...

Who's the go to guy for this?
-
Yep, I'd move over having two mortgages and the trouble it would come with.

It sure is... Having a hard time spending $180k on one over a newer less mile GT speed. I personally thing the CGT is the prettier of the two. But you're right, driving an FF is as good to me as a 458. Anyone with experience with an S63 coupe?
-
Really have an itch for a luxury car with four seats. My first priority is comfort but secondly power. I've driven the V8s and really prefer the extra 100+hp of the GT speed. I haven't driven the supersports yet but I hear they are a little rougher ride? Also, it's hard to beat the new body style. Another factor is how well the supersports have held their value where the GT Speed still has a ways to go with depreciation. This is probably the third most important factor to me... Would consider an S63 coupe but those depreciate even worse! But love the new tech on them. Obviously leaps and bounds better. But I also hate that the styling is a little dull and hardly distinguishable from a c class, not that image means anything to me (mean that sincerely)... Anyone have any thoughts. Any other over the top luxury cars I'm missing? The Wraith did very little for me when I test drove. Just too over the top in the looks department... Appreciate your input!

Which models will these fit on? -
Weird that he says in the description it was very well maintained but on the phone he's changed the oil twice in 7 years??

It's all about the social media following...

With these lease companies if you sell the car before lease is up you automatically forfeit at least one months payment, possibly two months as kind of an early termination fee. But then you can sell it or pay it off however you please. Rates won't be as good through a lease company though. Only way it really makes good sense is if you can write the lease off. Otherwise traditional financing typically will be cheaper financing...
