There are Ferrari badges inside
I am sure they could buy what they wanted regardless of a team or sponsorship deals.
True that but sure when he was on Top Gear he admitted he was only driving some kind of Fiat family wagon because he didnt need anymore. It was later episode with FXX though I will admit.
Still that's just my pessimism, having watched Fast N Loud episode with Emmet Smith Merc other night it shows this stuff does happen.0 -

"No traders. Will go to first person to offer in excess of €5,000. Dublin reg,"
Modern classic
I think he overestimated how rare these are and that there is no demand for this special edition.0 -

Why why why is the fücking Dublin reg advertised as a selling point??? Is it an advantage? Why!?! When I think of the "DL" reg I think of dirty diesel and fûcked injectors, when I think of the "KY" reg I think of the suspension hanging out of the car, when I see the "D" reg I think of tonnes of dings and scrapes from traffic bumps and trollies slamming into them in car parks.0 -

At 3k miles per annum a comparable lower capacity petrol car makes much more sense and would in my opinion be a nicer and more fluid drive and likely a lot less hassle along the way..
Unfortunately it is you who did miss my point... Diesel does not only mean low running costs. If it did we all be driving a mere 1.4...
Yet there are much stronger diesels out there. Why - they are more expensive to buy, more expensive to service and less economical?!
They offer not only improved efficiency over petrol engines (which agreed - does not balance the purchase price), but also the flat torque characteristics is something that many people desire. The petrol V6 3.2 from Audi A6 C6 has comparable max power output, but max torque at 2750 rpm, which is already low. But 3.0TDI has the whooping 500Nm (it means nothing, but it's such a big number) at 2000rpm. Comfort might be something else - motorway driving with a diesel is usually quieter - high available power at low revolutions allows cruising with very low engine noise. FSI engines were something new at the time - the buyer might have opted for a comparable TDI which is a recognized brand? Maybe this was a dealers demo car and was purchased at a very interesting price? I am pretty sure you'll find another reason if you want to
People don't buy or change cars only to cut on running costs. There are millions of motives - and keeping the cost low is just one of them.
Don't forget that there are situations when it is one party that finances the purchase and another party finances the running costs... In that case the purchase price might be completely irrelevant for someone that makes the purchasing decision.0
