Hi All,
I realise for many that this might go against the norm and also part and parcel of owning a "supercar". However, I imagine some on here change cars frequently so would appreciate some views.
This won't involve any finance. Cars will only be bought with my money.
I owned a 4200, am now in a Vantage, so understand the costs associated with cars of this type.
So here's my thoughts....
Thoughts?
Cheers

EDIT...
I suppose an example might help....
Gransports have gone up in value largely not down over the past 18 months.
Buy
Feb 2017 - £30k. 35,000 miles. Serviced January 2017. Pristine.
Sell
August 2017. Advertise £30k, sell for £29k. 37,000 miles. Serviced January 2017. Pristine.

So here's my thoughts....
- Buy a supercar (I am counting my old Maser and current Vantage in that definition), that has been recently serviced. Sell it before it needs its next service.
- For large duration of the short ownership, it will have a warranty (if bought from a car dealer)
- As its not owned for very long, resale price should be fairly neutral (assuming i sell privately)
- As its not owned for very long, large costs associated with ownership (paint work, big services etc) will not hit your pocket.
Thoughts?
