I don’t get the appeal. These non-luxury Gwagens are cool, but I’d rather just buy an old Montero and save myself $11k. CP.
The highest mileage I’ve ever seen on a Gallardo was 120,000. The highest I’ve seen on a Ferrari 360 was around 150,000. Highest on a 430 was like 90,000, but on its third engine. Highest I’ve seen on a Murcielago was 64,000. Highest I’ve seen on a 458 is around 100,000. This McLaren, at 32,000 was the highest I’ve…
there are cars you can afford to buy, and cars you can afford to own.
Straight 8? Pfffft, I want mine to have a straight 16.
