nop, definitely way more than that. something like each bottle of oil used for the car is couple hundreds, then you need this many bottle, and then labor, etc... i almost fainted

I read once where a guy with a 550 Maranello was thinking of selling it because of the maintenance costs. He said a brake job was $10,000. Although he could afford it he thought it was ridiculous to pay that kind of money for something like that. The guy had a stable of cars. Couldn't understand needing a brake job with so many cars. If I had just 2 more cars, neither would be used enough to ever need new brakes.

Nah, the oil changes for an Enzo are $800. Saw it on SpeedTV, but who knows, they could be wrong

$800 sounds outrageous enough.

basically I would take this over Ferrari or Lambo. Think of it as a Murceliago with Toyota reliability

Have you guys seen the Murciealago Convertible? Now that is one sexy car. That one would be my top choice, then the 360 Spyder.

Geez, either way, a brand new civic every oil change or brake job
I think you are driving too much then when you have to change the oil or do any maintenance on it, like someone mentioned
It's suppose to be a weekend car I agree with globeclk

This is why toyota/lexus needs to start making supercars. Not only will the be amazing but rest assured the work on them is going to not only be reasonable; it is also going to be staggeringly less frequent then on any of these other "supercars/ultra lux's"
