So I’ve owned my 4200cc for a couple of years now. I am finding ownership of this car is such a roller coaster ride.
The highs
I’ve had loads of amazing cars. 5 Porsches, E60 M5, EVO 6, TVR etc and the 4200 cc holds its head up well against this opposition. In fact I would go as far to say it’s the best car I have ever owned. Suits me really well.
The Lows
The first year was relatively trouble free but the last 8 months I’ve had: a new clutch, gear actuator, F1 pump and now replaced water pump. Over £10k of work!!!!! I still love the car (my wife is getting close to her limit with it tbh)
In conclusion. These cars are relatively cheap to buy especially in the UK but the cost of ownership can be eye watering. Would I swap it for another 911— NO Would I swap it for an RS4–NO. Would I have bought it knowing how much it would cost me in 2 years- NO
