Hello. I've just registered and this is my first post.
I am in the market within the next year or so, for a high end sports car. The MP4 is at the top of the list for me. I was wondering what kind of ownership costs would be involved with daily driving it and using it for 10-15 track events per year, with a total mileage of 8-10k per year. I live in Washington State and the nearest dealers are either in California or in British Columbia. I'll plan on doing a lot of the easier maintenance myself (like fluid changes, brake pads/rotors) if it is possible to get replacement parts.
I currently have two kids in college and it's unknown how much longer they want to go to school. I'm not wealthy enough that if ownership is going to cost $10k a year for this use, that I feel I can afford that. I currently have a 2011 Corvette which fits this need pretty well and is very cheap to maintain under this usage, but there is no comparison between it and an MP4 or any of the other cars in that category.
Is the MP4 suited for this kind of usage? Thanks for your opinions.
