Episode notes
Do Rigorous Pre-Purchase Checks
- Always perform a pre-purchase inspection and check maintenance records before buying used.
- Remember supercars are finely tuned and less forgiving than SUVs on poor roads.
Modifying Is The Wild West
- Aftermarket mods are risky because supercars are highly refined and dealer guarantees vanish.
- Changing parts or structure can alter physics and compromise integrity.
Plan For Higher Running Costs
- Budget higher repair and replacement costs, especially for carbon fiber components.
- Buy specialty insurance from Hagerty, Chubb, or similar and declare limited annual miles.
