Your post mentions first time buyers. He is not a first time exotic owner.

Hi jay, none what so ever. I think it is already unique as it is. It's still the only V12 Vantage on the road (excluding the dealer demo) in the country.
I'm about about a month away from getting mine. I don't have much in mind. I do think that I will change the wheels. My car is lightning silver. I love the ADV.10 in the gunmetal met. I also like a sport exhaust because the factory exhaust is usually about 25lbs (apx 10KG) heavier. I can't wait.

Oil changes on a CGT shouldn't cost more than $1000.

That said, there's a decent bit of work involved.
They have to remove multiple carbon monocoque panels which have been screwed on.
Which means if they ruin a thread, they are liable to replace the entire carbon part.

Also, I understand there are a limited number of lifts which you can put a CGT on.
You can run the risk of having it flip over backwards while you work on it if you don't use the right one. lol

Thanks for input Jas! Wow, it's actually pretty cheap! So I can expect - 600, 1200, etc.
