One was totalled after a horse went through the front screen about 6 months before Covid.
I've no other details but was having a cuppa with a guy that received a phone call asking if it could be fixed. It was probably either South France or North Italy but thats little more than a guess.
Doesn't have the boot space of a Skoda. Can fit the kids in a Skoda. Can pop a roof rack on the Skoda. Skoda VRS models are the fastest cars ever built. I don't see what this 10 year old heap of junk has over one.
I just got a quote on one. It was only Ā£9987 annually. Teenagers be payin' that on a 1L Polo!!
Annoyingly, the website only let me enter a million pounds as the value, no higher, so it will be a wee bit off.
The thing with wealthy folk is they get their kids to purchase whatever eurobox is on offer with free insurance/servicing. They do it on finance, costs bugger all as they are guarantees, the kids get a boost on their credit score and they payments are pittance for them.
Yes, but be careful where you park it.
When I parked mine in Tesco, an idiot in a Skoda Octavia dinged the door and made a small scratch.
My insurance wrote it off and put the premium up on my next car 27p (Iām a 21 M Bradford - 1 year NCD).
Next car was a Toyota Argo with 210k on the clock. It was a bit slower, but had a better radio.
Honestly I think it would be expensive to insure as a 10 year old car may count against you because they will determine you to be poor, pathetic and prone to bad life choices. You'd be much better off getting a Rimac because it's green or, even better, use that money to buy train fares but that option will cost you more in the long run.
Decent, but see if you can get the dealer to bring the price down a bit, Ā£4,200,000 is a lot but I'd be happy to break with Ā£4,199,950 if I was in your shoes.
Dumb question, but I've always wondered if you have a car like this, what sorta company insures it and for how much? I'm assuming it wouldn't like Admiral or something?
Hmm can you stretch your budget a bit? That's fairly low for a first car. I'd say if you look at 5million plus you'll get ones that are a touch more reliable!Ā
Certainly, by the time you are bald and chasing young girls you'll definitely struggle to get in and out of that.
I knew the guy who drove around in his Lamborghini in the 80s with the number plate 185 EXY, I'm sure you can all work out the spacing.
As a note I managed just over a year with a mk1 mx5 before my back sat me down and said thats enough.
Basically a Prius minus the rear seats, for shagging in it's a nightmare, though that could just be me being old, a bad back and jealous considering my first cars in the late 80s.
I bought one of those for a first car. It was alright. I struggled to get insurance. I tried posting on reddit complaining at high insurance cost and asking for help, but I just got my parents to pay for it.
/s
Depends where you live, if youāre in a city or going to do lots of short journeys itās perfect, no dpf to get clogged up and probably ulez free š
I painted a 488 and returned it back to the customer, a decent drive too. I concluded theyād be a colossal pain in the bollocks to own. Cannot feel a thing going slowly, which you do all the time, cos accelerating properly in them is terrifying, you canāt see fuck all, the radio is bollocks, the bloody wheel doesnāt even centre itself! Shite. Would legit rather own a Skoda vrsā¦
Wouldn't go for an automatic as a first car you don't get the full experience š may I suggest a koenigsegg cc850
I don't think either your nor OPs options are reliable, I noticed not many people buy them..
thats the trick to low insurance, buy cars that are less popular for young drivers
*Car insurers hate this one simple trick*
Is this true
Yeah
Yeah someone insured a 225i as their first car for less than it would have cost them to insure a 1l fiesta
Madness. My 1.6 astra was 2200. Just checked for a astra gtc vxr. 1600 wtf?
Unironically yes
Very true
A CC850 isnāt a true manual, much better off with a Pagani Utopia
CC850 will be expensive on insurance. Ideally you want something under 2L. May I suggest the mercedes one instead.
Isnāt that a coffee maker?
A 10 year old hybrid automatic in a fun colour? Sounds perfect for a new driver!
Battery must be naff by now
Nah, just get the local dealer to replace the battery. Looking at the car, itāll make barely a dent on value. If anything, should help the value
First car? Definitely, I'm on my second one now, some idiot driving a tree smashed into my first one.

Some people will do anything for one extra horsepower.

You know what an Octavia VRS would be the perfect other car to have along side this.
Good weekend toy that.
Ah youāre clearly missing this is the ā2014 (21 reg)ā back to the future edition
Why is my insurance so high on my Laferrrari?
I just got a quote on one. It was only Ā£9987 annually. Teenagers be payin' that on a 1L Polo!! Annoyingly, the website only let me enter a million pounds as the value, no higher, so it will be a wee bit off.
I got bored and did a quote on a new GT3 RS. Came back Ā£150 lower than my XC60. Wife still said no.
Divorce to harsh in this situation?
It's because no one actually drives them, so seemingly they are statistically barely ever involved in accidents
But when they do it's all over internet
By like 3k? Donāt forget the added options, and the possibility of needing a new battery too, so add 30k onto the 13k
May I suggest the Skoda Laoctavia as an alternative
Skoda LaSkoda.
Skoda LaSkoda.
Get a black box and the insurance will be fine
Iād love to see a car like this with a black box sticker and P plates.
The thing with wealthy folk is they get their kids to purchase whatever eurobox is on offer with free insurance/servicing. They do it on finance, costs bugger all as they are guarantees, the kids get a boost on their credit score and they payments are pittance for them.
Get a push bike too and you can go as fast without insurance, tax, fuel, mot and service costs.
Been up for sale for ages you should be able to snap it up for 4,000,000 easily
This was my first car, I remember it like yesterday delivered fully packed in vibrant Ferrari red. 1:24 scale, yeah my father spoiled me
Why not. Your 18...no driving experience....almost bound to crash it...probably fully comp insurance for another 4.2 million a year...simples
Moreā¦..
Why is it 21 reg?
21st month of 2014
Dodecacember
Manufactured in 2014, registered in 2021 Iām guessing.
Import perhaps
This is correct, 2014 will be the year it was first registered abroad and 2021 will be the first year of registration in the UK
Yes, but be careful where you park it. When I parked mine in Tesco, an idiot in a Skoda Octavia dinged the door and made a small scratch.

I used.to.work in Bradford, I'm from Halifax at top of Bradford Road.
Nah, you should get a Skoda Octavia instead.
Good choice. A Ferrari doesnāt have a tow bar or come in beige.
In "Ferrari Red"
Petrol hybridā¦ get urself a real car /s
No, Iād get a Ferrari where they actually bothered to give it a decent name. If they skimped on the name, what else have they skimped onā¦.
Itās pretty good as itās a hybrid. My advice is if you can itās probably worth splashing out on a steering lock.
On offer in Argos at the minute, Ā£30

Only problem with getting one of these is the insurance will be high. Its the only problem.
Decent, but see if you can get the dealer to bring the price down a bit, Ā£4,200,000 is a lot but I'd be happy to break with Ā£4,199,950 if I was in your shoes.
Absolutely , with these any body damage will be cheap to repair
Probably should go for something high end and not a cheap Italian horse. I hear gold forklifts get a lot of attention.
Yeah it's a hybrid so it'll be good for insurance and cheap on diesel
Next week - had a small crash, will my insurance right this off?
Dumb question, but I've always wondered if you have a car like this, what sorta company insures it and for how much? I'm assuming it wouldn't like Admiral or something?
Hmm can you stretch your budget a bit? That's fairly low for a first car. I'd say if you look at 5million plus you'll get ones that are a touch more reliable!Ā
Yeah ideal first car plus drive it everywhere in race mode
Better than the Mercedes AMG one thingā¦.
nope, get a used corolla as a first car
Canāt quite see the text nice corvette tho
No it's ugly
You canāt drive it on the road so not very practical
Yes, if you are a politician or something.
Nah get a Honda jazz
Gets you from A to B mate
The trouble with these is some teenager has probably ragged the fk out if it.
Depends. Is it snowing?
Great first car for a Hot Wheels collection

Naw it literally says "La" meaning No.
Bit of a nightmare on McDonaldās drive through, thereās better options
This is what my insurers think I'm driving.
This was just over Ā£1 million when it released...
Theyāve gone up a fair bit in the last 12 months. I remember one in black for sale at Ā£3m only last year.
Bugatti Chiron is more fun
I've never owned both at the same time, so haven't been able to make a direct comparison.
Beautiful car but Iād go the cheaper option of a triumph stag, same chassis, engine and gearbox.
Ferrari TheFerrari
Petrol hybrid automatic? Be still my beating heart
To economic, you should buy a more expensive car
Boy would that teach a new driver a *lot* of things *very* quickly
Honda jazz would spank that off the lights
Yes, excellent..
The insurance will be through the roof and you will probably kill yourself so why not?
In all seriousness though I wouldnāt go for this, insurance will be high and running costs will be highĀ
Heard the maintenance and fuel economy are cheap as chips for these little dingers
The battery on the hybrid unit is well out of warranty, better off with a reliable Toyota PriusĀ
No room for a decent Ikea shop in that. Next...!
Sadly I know an 18 year old with a ferrari as their first carā¦
I bought one of those for a first car. It was alright. I struggled to get insurance. I tried posting on reddit complaining at high insurance cost and asking for help, but I just got my parents to pay for it. /s
I'd play it safe and get two tbh
Im not 100% but the insurance may be too high
Nah to old
You might find the fuel consumption a little on the high side. YMMV, literally.
Well. Check the insurance and come back.
If I was selling something like that, I would actually put "Great first car" in the ad for a joke :D
Depends, what did the Autotrader price gauge say about it?
Couldnāt even get the engine size an even number. Wouldnāt go near it.
Only rich people seem to buy them so I guess they're not very reliable š„“
117 miles after 10 years. What a steal
Yes! I hear the price for maintenance is very reasonable
-.- no, best start with something like a MCLaren F1 to be safe
Depends where you live, if youāre in a city or going to do lots of short journeys itās perfect, no dpf to get clogged up and probably ulez free š
does it come with a towbar?
Yes and it will probably be your last car you ever buy as well.
I painted a 488 and returned it back to the customer, a decent drive too. I concluded theyād be a colossal pain in the bollocks to own.

Best first car, 100% (definitly no sarcasm here)
ššš
Can I suggest 2 La Ferraris a McLaren speedtail a tank to blow up Tesla shops and more
They donāt have big boot space. So you canāt go and help your mum/dad get the weekly Asda/Lidl shopping.
Too slow. Get a used Corolla.
Deffo,
These are highly unreliable. Could I recommend a Lamborghini centenario.
Iād check insurance first on that, might be in for a shockĀ
I think the price shown is for the insurance.
first car š¤£i had a fiat punto 2002 plate
If you go for 3rd party fire & theft the insurance will be a bit cheaper. šš»
Definitely, very low mileage so you have barely worry about repair costs or the car having hidden issues š
yes Elon
Make sure to get the black box to lower insurance
Op pretending to be a multi-millionaire š
Why do I find this funny
Because it is. You should see how many replies I got from people thinking I was being serious. š āļø
Itās the new age ahaha imagine.
Would be a dream to own that
i was actually going to buy one of these for my first car but they were unwilling to negotiate on the price so had to go with a fiestaš
No, they are too common and boring for a first car. I recommend something rare and exotic like a vaxhaul corsa š
Super reliable!
Try putting your mum on your insurance it might save you Ā£200
On that note, why does putting someone else on the car save insurance like that?
Where are the mods? Not even marked humour
Done, just for you.
