Having owned a Audi S6 V10, i can say it was a joy to own. Subtle but scary. Classy but crazed. The sound of the straighpipe 5.2 V10 N/A revving to 8k is the stuff of gods. No turbos to get in the way, just straight displacement. Gutted when i sold it. Which brings me onto to why I sold it. The engine is so big that to do alot of the work you’ll have to drop the engine. £2k quote to repair a flexipipe.

[@asadzeethree2726]

Great car when it works! Effing engine needs to be dropped almost for any work on the car. Bloody bumper needs to come off for simple stuff to be changed. An absolute money pit!

[@ibrahimkharis3459]

I appreciate the efforts however most information in this video are incorrect

[@gyllessmyth]

As others have noted, there's a reason for the steep depreciation on these. My experience with a couple follows. Someone I know drove a Quattroporte for a few years; the first time it needed a significant service, the total to get the car sorted came to $13K (USD). And that wasn't anything major, just little things which, on a car like that, add up ($1,200 for this, $900 for that, etc.); pretty soon you're looking at a five-figure service bill. Additionally, up until several years ago, the only place to get a Maserati serviced in the area was the dealership, so unless you know you have independent options nearby, realize that a dealer may be your only service option if you go with lower-volume manufacturers. As for Mercedes Benz, back when cars relied on mechanical engineering, MB was without peer, but since entering the computerized world, reliability isn't what it used to be. The CL is the coupe-bodied version of the S-class, which is MB's technological flagship, which means a) stuff will eventually stop working correctly and b) when it does, it is overly complex and expensive to remedy. Given the option, I'd sooner own a C209-era CLK500, CLK550, or CLK55; same era, similar looks, and great to drive, but without 75% of the costly systems that eventually fail. I bought a CLK55 with 60K miles on it and drove it to 135K over seven years and it's still the most reliable and least expensive to maintain car I've ever owned (your experience may vary). Finally, realize that when you're looking at a Maserati, Jaguar, AMG, or any exotic at an incredibly depreciated price, especially if it's a four- or five-owner (or more) car, the reason for the price may be because it has either deferred maintenance to be done and/or an issue that is expensive enough to fix that the owner would rather just unload the car. A $30K Bentley GT or Aston Martin DB7 is a $20K service waiting to happen.

[@zdengvox]

In Serbia, most of these cars are around 25-30k. Nissan 370Z, Bentley and XKR may cost even more. For 10k you can get a nice older hot-hatch like Megane RS, Golf 6 GTI or Civic Type-R FN2/EP3. If you are daring, you can try your luck with a BMW 330/335 E92 or a turbo Saab.

[@harisaljovic2858]

In europe the f10 550i is like 20-25k

[@patrikandersson7442]

About the 435D he's correct about the "more hp than written on the paper" The 435D puts out around 320 hp with 630nm. And no, its not around 10k in Europe, a well looked after one is more around 30-40k €. Overall a very good and reliable car.

That’s really a lot for that car, you could already get an f82 m4 for that money

[@JG-fh7uj]

I’m very surprised you didn’t mention the Lexus IS 350, super longevity affordable to fix, and does 0-60 in 5.4 seconds! Whereas many of these mentions can result in an immediate 10k plus fix!

[@ThePCManTube]

@@jamesmarbles Good question actually it is possible to bring a car from abroad but this consumes a lot of procedures and time. 1- The vehicle must stay in the country where it is purchased for 185 days 2- When the vehicle arrives in the country, since the vehicle depends on the place where it was purchased it can never belong to Turkey and its license plate cannot be changed with the TR plate. 3- Every 2 years, the vehicle must stay in the country where the vehicle is purchased you must return and spend 185 days and also pay taxes every 2 years for the vehicle to stay in the country If it cannot stay abroad for 185 days, you will be fined and your vehicle will be banned from traffic. 4- The vehicle It needs to be invoiced when entering customs, so you will still pay all kinds of taxes :), so you have to take your vehicle back abroad and then bring it back, which saves you both time and money, and my 2- example ruins the whole plan seriously in the past 5-6 years ago when the TL was still valuable and taxes had not skyrcketed we could have easily owned a car but unfortunately the state has a very bad leader, whereas Turkey is already a rich country but you see :(
