To be fair in the whole time I had mine it cost me the fuel and a couple of service - which were expensive, but not killer. Tyre cost was the worst - damage one, replace 4. Until you build up your own stock of part used.
It was a fantastic car and I loved every moment of it, especially bearing in mind how far ahead of it's time it was. It was without doubt the best car I have ever owned, and it had some strong competition. It had no faults, nothing I didn't love. No passenger ever failed to be impresed.
But you would have to be out of your tiny mind to own one of these out of warranty. I forget the exact figures now but a small pipe on the power steering was replaced under warranty. and it was something like £14 for the part and £1,400 for the labour.
I tried to watch the video but I'm afraid I'd have slit my own wrists if I'd tried to continue beyond 30 seconds. However, I got the impression that he bought an older, luxury vehicle and then tried to maintian and service it like it was brand new. Bit dumb really.
