Standard freight costs would be a good start. A few months ago it was about $8/kg for basic air freight. The car is about 1650kg. Works out to $13,200. Not including any special handling costs.

Damn!
:heckno:

ib it's pocket change make it rain!

$20k sounds cheap to transport a car when you consider the fact that it costs about the same amount flying first class for them.

I think that white Speciale is a local car.....

Was wondering the same about the shipping costs seeing the cars in Monaco

Considering the 200-400 million dollar yachts in the harbour, 30k seems extremely reasonable lol

Chances are at least some of those guys own air freight companies or have buddies who do so they get it cheaper anyways.

Lol cars are shipped via long haul containers to china. Cost is around 30k to 50k for shipping takes about 2-3 months. After that u need to pay 160% tax for import and the car sits in one of the many docks for at least 1 month. Not including bribery and registration and licensing

Something a bit different, spotted this Grand National on Terminal coming back from Porsche Centre.

I saw this McLaren pass by me and park, I noticed something on the side of the car but I just thought it was the sun shining and my eyes were playing tricks on me...

:facepalm:

I cried inside.

-looks like that McLaren MP4 driver scraped the car against a parkade beam.

:lawl:

Went by a quick show and shine on the way home today (Every Wednesday at the A&W in South Surrey from 6-8)...here's a few of cars including the Shelby Superformance Cobra a couple of pages back.

omg :cry:

What a fucken waste.

Unfortunately the condition of the car looked pretty rat bagged. Not at all how a true enthusiast would treat this masterpiece. It was a really sad sight.

It has become apparent that most of the supercars in this city are not owned by "true enthusiasts".
No surprise at some scuffs and rim curbs.

:heckno: wtf is wrong with these owners?!

I'm very very slowly warming up to the cosmic wrap

the fail button is calling to me don't make me use it :lol

Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm in SCIV thread or the HOS thread :x

I see Hello Kitty in the second pic of that cosmic Aventador lol

modern supercars these days are now capable of being daily drivers, unlike those of yesteryears that spend most of their lives being repaired/trailer queens/sunday driver, so yeah this kind of damage is going to be the norm.

That's part of the problem, they should be hell to daily drive so that we don't have to deal with these worthless weenies driving them who don't give two shits about the car beyond it being a status symbol.

Great spot. Dream car for sure. Looks like an '85 though so not as desirable. Loved these cars since I was a kid. I don't think I've seen one for sale that is below $17k.

True. But modern supercars are also loaded up with computers and aides to help the owners operating their cars properly; sensors and parking cameras are a couple examples. Real drivers and careful owners normally wouldn't end up banging their car against a cement pylon or curbing their 20 grand rims.

... until this happens :cry:

saw that lambo when it was half done.. and the original color wasnt very nice anyways hahhaa
