Herewith that the best way to avoid expensive repairs .... is to use our cars regularly !

(Why wouldn't you ?)



P.S. The cost of a Porsche 991.2 GT3RS air filter is £500 as part of a £3000+ major service ....

It's not at all surprising the brand he's built maintaining Mclarens with just doing things well, without pissing off your customers.

I sold my 650 spider 5.5yrs ago with 31k miles and it was an absolute corker and ultra reliable.

I sold my 675 spider 6 months ago with 16k miles, again ultra reliable but the amount of enquiries that thought 16k miles was far too high was incredible...average of 2k a year 'high mileage'....

These are built to be used like every modern supercar, and its no coincidence the problematic cars are the garage queen's.

You can't win - I was selling a car that had only done 1500 miles in 2 years (on was Covid) and someone said "but that's less then 3 miles a day". "Yup", I said "I took it out every day, regardless of weather, ran it just long enough to get everything damp in the axhaust and then put it away wet.". They didn't buy it.
