Hi there,
Running costs are exorbitantly expensive. It’s official claims of fuel and stats are all figures from lab testing. It’s likely the Ferrari will also be driven enthusiastically when the opportunity presents itself, hence giving much different real world economy figures.
The 458 Spider has an unappeasable thirst for unleaded petrol. The tyres also won’t come cheap.
Then keep in mind, specialist servicing and insurance costs. If the car is involved in an accident, skilled assessors and repairers are then needed.
According to research from MoneywebDRIVE, insurance premiums for high-performance or exotic cars cost in the region of 1.25% to 1.8% on the value of the car per year. This amounts to a premium of around R60 000 a year for a R4 million car.
Running a Ferrari requires a lot of cash especially if its resale value is to be preserved.
