The 10 MOST Expensive Cars To Own - Would You STILL Get One Anyway?

22k for 5 years of insurance on a nissan GTR, does anyone here know if thats true???

This list seen to be missing a lot of exotic sports car from Lambo, Ferrari, Aston Martin and what happen to the Bugatti Veyron? IMAO.......!

if you read the article, they're only looking at cars up to $200k that sell in significant volume. not rare exotics like that veyron that sell only a few dozen.

YES! they will still get one.
The individuals purchasing these cars at these price levels don't care about "true cost to own" or depreciation. Why even write an article about it? Now that the econnomy seems to be turning the corner and as seen by the latest auto sales figures, the number of these cars sold will continue to increase regardless.

economy turning around? what planet are you on oh i know you must be a drone. anyway this is total crap these numbers can't be right. insurance on the gtr not possible unless your 18 in the risk category

1. SLS
2. R8

"For example, an Audi R8 has a price tag of slightly more than $170,000. After five years, the costs of ownership of the R8 are an additional $193,500 on average."

Unless the bloody R8 owner decided to crash his R8 and managed to completely demolish it, and then go out and buy a brand new one with more options, how could he possibly rack up an extra $193,500 in ownership costs ?

Anybody who can drop that much cash on a car can afford it, or is going to be facing financial ruin.

This list is absolute ludacris!! Its just one of those things that nobody cares about...

My 2009 GT-R with more than enough coverage in a southern florida city costs $550/6 months...22k for 5 years is a load of bull unless you are an idiot behind the wheel.

Hey moron, luxury cars are expensive to maintain, no matter who builds them.

and those who can afford that cars are more than willing to spend the money. mercedes makes some of the best cars in the world. and the best costs.

Paid cash for my v10 R8 spyder - could care less that it gets an average of 15mpg. Insurance costs in NJ are just slightly higher than my outgoing 997 at $1600/year. As far as quality, my rating scale gives it a 6 on quality and design out of 5. Audi offers pre-paid maintenance plan covers all charges for oil changes and major tuneups and saves nearly 20% over paying for each maintenance visit separately. I'll keep the car through the warranty period and then trade it in at 4 years. Mad at your wife, kids or business partners? Go for a ride in a R8 with the top down and listen to that bellowing engine - saves me $30K/yr in shrink bills.

@pcar4evr - know exactly what you mean... putting the top down on your drive home makes all the BS one deals with during the day vanish, even for a while.
