5 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE BUYING AN EXOTIC CAR

Buying an exotic car is typically a dream come true, but there's so much about buying, owning and selling a car that expensive that you wouldn't know unless you've actually owned one, or several. With that in mind, if you're planning on one day buying a "supercar" here are 5 things that I certainly wish I knew that would have saved me a lot of money!

Me and my 177$ in my savings account: "Interesting, please do go on"

I understand and respect what your recommendations regarding servicing at an independent vs. going to a dealer for an oil change. However as an exotic dealership service manager and previous independent shop owner, what I can add is that "simple oil changes" done by dealerships are typically competitive with independent shops (at least in my area.) The cost differential is a primarily a factor when you are comparing "oil changes vs. annual services." It is best to keep in mind that often with newer exotics there are various software updates, bulletins to address known issues, break-in services for low mileage/1-2 year old vehicles, etc, as well as the technicians who are most up-to-date on the idiosyncrasies of their respective brands and where there is often communication with their TSE (Technical Service Engineer) with the manufacturer, and fellow technicians to get these beloved exotics back on the street and into their owners hands as soon as possible, without the "guesswork" and "repeat visits" sometimes experienced at an independents.
I also would caution your statement regarding "voiding of warranties." Exotics not being serviced at the dealer for the reasons I stated above CAN be at risk for not having the respective bulletins, campaigns, etc, addressed if problems arise later in ownership. My recommendation would be to have a PPI (Pre-purchase Inspection) performed, and also having the VIN run by a dealer to find out if the vehicle has any open campaigns, bulletins, and service history checked and verified prior to the purchase.

He a salesman and this is his best selling line "trust me when I say"

In addition to the PPF I would recommend ceramic coating on the whole car. They even have self-healing ceramic coating out now lasting 5+ years.

Trust me when I say, you say a lot ”trust me when I say”. 😎

Holy shit I just so happened to stumble upon this channel, I followed SR4U long ago in high school/college during my soccer days, I’ve always been a huge car enthusiast and I’m so glad that you are too because of how well prepared and informative your videos have always been.

"You really need to do your research on market value, is that a horse?"😂😂

[bludsport]

when you accelerate, that thing make a large roar I LOVE IT MAN !!!!

[LNTunes]

I think, ultimately, I will prosper best in life with having access to one exciting (exotic) car that gives me the most I desire from a ‘car’; and one relaxing (relative) woman that enables the most I desire from a life making ‘partner’. Great video! I appreciate you sharing your great positives and, what so many don’t, the real unpleasant surprises that are usually realized after the fact. 💰 Best wishes to ya.

I learned a long time ago that adding diamonds to the bezel of a watch doesn’t make a jeweler pay more. They want the ORIGINAL. I agree with your MODS segment!

[urbanizeddreams]

The problem I have with buying cars used is the previous owners history. Like yours had only 2, 400KM....but if the owner was so hooligan, they could of ripped that car to shreds on a track or abused and floored it all day long since they knew they would get rid of it soon. Or questionable modifications done even though reverted back to stock when selling. So hence why I prefer brand new always.

Yo dude, love the look on your face with those cracks and pops 😂 Great advice
