I have a pretty good idea of how much some exotic supercars in
Singapore cost. Let's start with the Ferrari F430 F1. About
$780,000. It's rival, the Lamborghini Gallardo is $830,000
depending on various options. The Bentley Continental GT (2 doors
6litre V12 Twin turbo) is $710,000. Aston Martin V8 (the baby
version of DB9) is $600,000. DB9 $730,000 I think. High end
Mercedes like the SL55 AMG with kompressor is $570,000. Even higher
end SL65 V12 twin turbo is estimated to be almost $800,000! The
latest Ferrari 599 V12 is around 1.1mil now with full options. Even
then waiting list is more than 12 months. King of the exotic cars
must be the few Pagini zondas in Singapore. Cheapest one is around
1.6mil while the other end is one cost more than 3mil.
Fyi and interest sake, the insurance for a Ferrari F430 with 50%
NCB is about $12000 per year. Excess is $15000. Yup. 15k. To change
the front bumper would cost more than that!
Sometimes I see the drivers of these cars along orchard road. Most
are young. I wonder what kind of jobs they hold in order to afford
such high end cars. Installment would be at least 10k per month
even on a 60mth car loan.
Anybody knows the owner of a exotic sports car?
