How many miles do these type of sports cars last???

Approx how many miles do SLR's, ferraris, and lambos last?? Like a honda lasts approx 175k miles. I was told that these expensive sports cars only last around 25k miles, true?

No, not true.

The question is not, "How many miles?" but, "How many years?"

And the answer is, "Many".

Thats a silly post.
If i have a Ferrari F430 - and Drive it to and from work everyday - that means i dont care about taking care of the car? Even if i take it to a track, id still bring it in for routine service check ups, oil changes, tranny checks, the whole 9 yards................... same for SLR, same for S550.......

Whoever told you that knows nothing about cars.

How much an exotic car driven is up to the owner...Some like to drive them regularly. Others like to "save" them in the garage while others collect them.

I'll tell you one thing, my first exotic is going to be driven hard and often. I could car less about the resale value or miles.

if you drive a ferrari to/from work, you'd have to care about maintenance, since you'd likely spend all your non-work time under the car fixing it!
