Old boss had a F355, told me a service cost him like 10k or something. You can pick them up for what 30-40k now! Still a 100k car though.
Even things like an RS4/6 will cost the earth to keep, £1200 for front brakes etc etc

Granted, but, and I use the term loosely, an RS4 is in essence just an Audi

True. Still cheaper than a Lambo with relatively 'normal' service intervals.
I guess what I meant is the hourly labour costs will be the same as a 1.6 A3, rather than stupidly high like Lambo etc.

to be honest, audi's aren't as expensive as people make out. Keep taking it to your audi dealer then fair enough but audi parts from Germany can be had cheap, add on a family mechanic and it'll will keep the bills on par with owning a saab (which he had before hand).
The lambo would probably still be half that in 5 years time, but if it's a minter and kept in a secure garage then i don't see what the problem is. Bills are high, but it's not as if you're going to be putting many miles on whilst your out at sea.
I would save the cash and see what prices are like in 5 or so years time and go from there.

Yeah I think they usually need a new clutch every 10k or so, that will be a few grand bill straight away. Crazy idea imo.

Prices might not shift, look at the price of Diablo's just now 50-60k for one worth having! Galardo's could maintain their price, I cant see them becoming worth 30k!
