Depreciation is what hurts, a few years ago I worked out it costs you something around the £10/day mark for a standard silver mondeo 2.0 tdci saloon with 12k a year on it over the 1st 3 years.
£10 a freaking day, just for it to sit there, plus everything else, plus the fact (mondeo estate with the higher powerd tdci’s are nice enough) but seriously rather have that kind of money going on something decent.
The main issue with big fancy cars is if something goes wrong on the wiring/dash computer side of things, or autobox, the cost of fixing or even working out what has gone wrong just starts running away with you. However, at least that money goes towards doing something rather than just catching fire.
