There is a way to sell very good quality modified exotic cars... 1. You are selling an improved driving experience not a historic legend. 2. You are selling a driving experience based on high specs performance. 3. You must narrow down your scope of potential customers. 4. You MUST retain or keep all servicing records prior to sell your car. 5. You must ask for valuable advice from fellow car enthusiasts. 6. You sell based on performance by quoting on today's requirements... relevancy in performance figures, not on stock originality. 7. You need trusted testimonies from fellow enthusiasts who share your passion. You are selling based on relevance of how nimble and fast it is, not based on prominent history claims of originality. Sorry.
I understand and respect what your recommendations regarding servicing at an independent vs. going to a dealer for an oil change. However as an exotic dealership service manager and previous independent shop owner, what I can add is that "simple oil changes" done by dealerships are typically competitive with independent shops (at least in my area.) The cost differential is a primarily a factor when you are comparing "oil changes vs. annual services." It is best to keep in mind that often with newer exotics there are various software updates, bulletins to address known issues, break-in services for low mileage/1-2 year old vehicles, etc, as well as the technicians who are most up-to-date on the idiosyncrasies of their respective brands and where there is often communication with their TSE (Technical Service Engineer) with the manufacturer, and fellow technicians to get these beloved exotics back on the street and into their owners hands as soon as possible, without the "guesswork" and "repeat visits" sometimes experienced at an independents. I also would caution your statement regarding "voiding of warranties." Exotics not being serviced at the dealer for the reasons I stated above CAN be at risk for not having the respective bulletins, campaigns, etc, addressed if problems arise later in ownership. My recommendation would be to have a PPI (Pre-purchase Inspection) performed, and also having the VIN run by a dealer to find out if the vehicle has any open campaigns, bulletins, and service history checked and verified prior to the purchase.
I agree with everything you said. If you don't have a competent shop with all of the proper equipment and scan tools, don't take your car there. You're also right in saying that pricing on servicing does vary from dealer to dealer. It can vary quite a lot actually.
Holy shit I just so happened to stumble upon this channel, I followed SR4U long ago in high school/college during my soccer days, I’ve always been a huge car enthusiast and I’m so glad that you are too because of how well prepared and informative your videos have always been.
I learned a long time ago that adding diamonds to the bezel of a watch doesn’t make a jeweler pay more. They want the ORIGINAL. I agree with your MODS segment!
The problem I have with buying cars used is the previous owners history. Like yours had only 2,400KM....but if the owner was so hooligan, they could of ripped that car to shreds on a track or abused and floored it all day long since they knew they would get rid of it soon. Or questionable modifications done even though reverted back to stock when selling. So hence why I prefer brand new always.
I think, ultimately, I will prosper best in life with having access to one exciting (exotic) car that gives me the most I desire from a ‘car’; and one relaxing (relative) woman that enables the most I desire from a life making ‘partner’. Great video! I appreciate you sharing your great positives and, what so many don’t, the real unpleasant surprises that are usually realized after the fact. 💰 Best wishes to ya.
Currently the best priced exotic you can by that can actually appreciate is any version of the Ferrari 360, they're currently at rock bottom prices ranging between the low $50k's to the high $60k's and represent a lot of car for the money. Caveat: make sure the timing belt has been done. It's no longer an engine out procedure but if it's not you're looking at $3k - $5k
I agree with your comments regarding modifications. I keep my cars bone stock both for potential resale and for warranty coverage. Do your research. Buy the car new, and leave it alone.......... You'll have a much better ownership experience, it will be a one owner car when you go to sell it who can vouch for all the maintenance etc., and you won't end up parking the car while you wait for cash to repair the car you're making $1500-$2000 a month payments on. A dealership or potential owner will find the car much more desirable in stock form, and all the money you've indicated will be lost on depreciation due to the fact that you bought it new, will be retained because you didn't "F" with it.......pretty simple.
First time on this channel but you are 100% correct about the dealership charging you 3-4x what you would spend at a reputable independent shop. I don't own an exotic, but I own a couple of 6 series bmw's. One of them needed valve stem seals and cover done. The dealer wanted $7,600 to do it, my indy mechanic did it for $2100. I will NEVER go to the dealership for repairs that aren't covered under warranty again.
Hello, Wes hear from Windsor. Great info One of the reason I bought 2000 Viper GTS it is pretty easy to work on and I do 90% of the work on all my toys , otherwise I would not be able to afford them and I enjoy majority part of the repairs, oh and I picked up the viper in the GTA area almost 3 years ago.
One thing a lot of people don’t know, is insurance, invest in a good auto insurance plan, it will help you in the future. My fathers Brand New Audi Q8 got hit by a truck 2 months ago and because we got the car replacement feature on our insurance, we got all the money, including our down payment back from the Insurance company, if it was a shitty insurance plan, we would’ve faced a loss of at least $50k
Could just be running a bit rich. Some cars also pop right off the dealership - the new mx5 for example, every one I've driven pops (I've had a 2016, 2018, and now a 2020)
@Andrew H Yep, it has a small but noticeably rumbly pop/backfire when you come off a hard acceleration. Can't speak for the previous gens but the ND miata is definitely pop happy
Crappy and cheap sounding pops. Why does anyone like that? My RS4 has downpipes, high flow cats and aftermarket cat back and sounds insane with no crappy pops.
Omg what Josh I didn’t know that you did car videos!! Last time I saw you was the review of superfly 6 and then I started losing interest in soccer cleats so I didn’t see you coming but wow nice to see you again
I've got a GTI and did PPF and ceramic coating. Also, in terms of washing my own car. It's not allowed (yes illegal) in Calgary since it's considered harmful to the environment. Have to do car wash. But I do the hand washing ones (lots of those and close to exotic car dealerships too)
Awesome video! Love it, only thing I wanna speak on is that it completely does matter having routine services done at dealerships. If you have any issues with the car because of some of the maintenance not done right, and not performed by the dealer. It does in fact void your warranty!
That's what the dealer's like to scare people with. Like I said in the video, as long as you're bringing it to a reputable shop that knows what they're doing and provides proper documentation of what they did, there's nothing they can really do about your warranty. Obviously if it's your car and your money, do what you want, but having owned these types of cars and having them serviced at the dealer as well as independent shops, I can tell you that I've never had an issue in regards to warranty.
One way to tell if a shop is good is to see if they have a Ferrari F355 or Testarossa in for service. Chances are the engine and transaxle are removed from the car, and if they are comfortable with that, servicing almost anything else should be a breeze.
When i was in Laos, my boss, had a Lambo hurricane Perfomante, GTR black edition and BMW M3, pretty nice cars, and took it to his shop to do all the maintenance, they use a lot of primuim oil do, just for the GTR, we need 0w-40 hks perfomance for the GT-R Nissan. Never track it...
With regards to aftermarket parts, some people (not dealers) will pay more because of hype and wow factor. For example, a Ford Mustang stock with regular breaks, VS full 6 piston Brembo brakes will increase the value in the viewers eyes. Some aftermarket companies are very credible, just be smart before buying ANY part.
The only true investment in a vehicle would be a model with sticker price over a million and production numbers below 300. Many of you mention Porsche GT Rs series, which in fact are true exceptions from the rule. Same goes for some mid range models of Ferrari & Lambo, but as I said - these are exceptions.

4:40 - it's true for the Ferrari 7-year service plan. If you missed it and not done by a Ferrari dealership, they void the plan. There's a reason why it's called a plan other than "warranty".
Hey I watch sr4u but funnily enough I found this channel through a different route....anyways best ever....You should definitely do a vid where you go through the full process of getting a new (or used) exotic car.....like what research you do, selecting, financing, meeting dealers, viewing, buying....might need to do a couple parts obviously but definitely a series of videos I’d watch.....hope you don’t have to trade in any of your other cars to do this!!!
I am from Austria and for a stock GTR u are probably going to give 80k away but for a moded one 150k and more. Also sport cars are close to 1/3 more expensive than the ones in US.
If you ever want to rebuild an engine max out the cubes and retune it to suit and nobody will know until they drive it. My insurance company only covers stock cars so I can't have anything obvious or they'll reject any claim.
A fellow Ontarian, nice. Also that AMG is the only Mercedes I've ever liked. Side note, where in Ontario did you find these nice empty roads? You just using paved back roads?
Some solid advice that can apply to any car purchase really, And that AMG growl 😍. Also a bit of creative feedback, when talking to “US” please look at the lens, you seem to be looking at the screen next to it, it’s quite distracting.
Your video help me decidedly get my first GTR. I noticed that your front license bracket is located in the front bottom center of the grill. Is this factory? I thought they come screwed on the bumper drivers side. I much prefer your look.
It's actually an E-Class mount flipped upside down and zip tied in place. No drilling any holes in the car. The factory front plate mount for the AMG GT is awful.
I read the title, saw the video, (great content BTW), it really made me feel like my Audi TT Quattro S-line was/is a high-end exotic car....then I realized that you probably meant this video for people willing to drop over a 150k on a daily ride like the Ferrari Lusso FF & came to the conclusion that you should really just change the title of this video to "we the north car tips".
Wow .this video will be very useful for the buyers. This is the 1st video watching in your channel loved it and .your honest suggestion made me to subscribe to your channel 🤩🤩🤩
This is the first video that I've watched on your channel (came up in the suggested videos). Great video, awesome content, (not that I can afford an exotic). I just subscribed. Looking forward to more content.
When you are buying an exotic car are you buying it for prestige or are you buying it for a true driving experience? Alot of people dont know the difference...
Interesting video... and good choice of car 👍 You seem to be much into resell value; then I really suggest to service it with an official garage of the brand even though it costs more, you will get that money back if you are able to provide a full service history with the brand to a potential buyer. Protective wrapping? Costs way too much in my opinion. I just drive it both on and off track and have it resprayed before I sell it (2 years) for the price of a protective wrap. The plus is that you can paint it into a popular color at the time of sales.
In general however much you spend modifying your car take that amount off the value. If you're trading it in the dealership is going to have to take it back to stock so the mods are worth less than nothing since it's going to cost them to replace them.
If/When I buy my first exotic, depreciation would be the last thing I’ll be thinking about. I’m reselling it ever. Of course I’ll do thorough research on everything else, but reselling will the last thing in my mind. Other tips are very helpful tho. Thank you!!
That’s a very stupid way to think in terms of your finances, you ain’t going to keep the car forever (most likely) hence the resell value should definitely be considered if you’re not looking to lose a lot of money.
adam khalfi But the thing is I do plan on keeping it forever. I made up my mind that I will forever keep the first exotic I ever get. That’s why I explicitly said “first exotic” on my original comment. That’s my trophy and I plan on enjoying and using the hell out of that car. So yes, depreciation would be the last thing I’ll worry about.
I recognize that road. Effingham is awesome, especially when you start at the south end and head north. Is this your go-to driving road? Trying to find a few more good ones in the Niagara region. The parkway is great, if a little congested at times

Hey I watch sr4u but funnily enough I found this channel through a different route....anyways best ever....You should definitely do a vid where you go through the full process of getting a new (or used) exotic car.....like what research you do, selecting, financing, meeting dealers, viewing, buying....might need to do a couple parts obviously but definitely a series of videos I’d watch.....hope you don’t have to trade in any of your other cars to do this!!!
I am from Austria and for a stock GTR u are probably going to give 80k away but for a moded one 150k and more. Also sport cars are close to 1/3 more expensive than the ones in US.
2:13 how do u have a speed limit of 70 on a road like that. My 3 lane highway has a speed limit of 65
Its in km/h
If you ever want to rebuild an engine max out the cubes and retune it to suit and nobody will know until they drive it.
My insurance company only covers stock cars so I can't have anything obvious or they'll reject any claim.
I can tell you get a lot of smiles per hour driving that AMG😄👍🏾
Why does it look like a green cow 😂
Ur mom
A cow probably produces more CO2 than this car
I mean, it's a Mercedes-Benz. The grills on pretty much all of their new cars are butt-ugly.
A fellow Ontarian, nice. Also that AMG is the only Mercedes I've ever liked. Side note, where in Ontario did you find these nice empty roads? You just using paved back roads?
Some solid advice that can apply to any car purchase really, And that AMG growl 😍.
Also a bit of creative feedback, when talking to “US” please look at the lens, you seem to be looking at the screen next to it, it’s quite distracting.
As far as the other recommendations I couldn't agree more. Great video for anyone not just first time buyers.
2:29 is that a minigun on he back of that truck?????
Look like a Sentry gun 😂
@@ShadyContinues yeah i meant that xD
☠️☠️☠️
Not in Canada..... JS
Your video help me decidedly get my first GTR. I noticed that your front license bracket is located in the front bottom center of the grill. Is this factory? I thought they come screwed on the bumper drivers side. I much prefer your look.
It's actually an E-Class mount flipped upside down and zip tied in place. No drilling any holes in the car. The factory front plate mount for the AMG GT is awful.
Car Problems thanks! Very creative!
Solid advice. Agree on all points. (though can't believe you had to tell an exotic car owner not to drive their ride into a car wash - smh)
Yes thank you for helping my decision in buying a divo, i will go spend 20 mil now
Clearly you missed the opportunity to ask if he was taking his horse to the old town road. Yeah I said it... and I stand by it.
Clearly, you don't know that the "horse" referred to in the song meant Ferrari's.
Astrid Young no he meant gay men, tf
@@astridyoung610 He is riding a horse in his clip... it a horse..
Car guy priorities...
1. Buy with your heart
2. Use your head, but only after the purchase
This whole video be like:
Inhales:
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY
Word of the day... TRUST 😂. Awesome video man!
I read the title, saw the video, (great content BTW), it really made me feel like my Audi TT Quattro S-line was/is a high-end exotic car....then I realized that you probably meant this video for people willing to drop over a 150k on a daily ride like the Ferrari Lusso FF & came to the conclusion that you should really just change the title of this video to "we the north car tips".
Great video. Very informative.
Wow .this video will be very useful for the buyers. This is the 1st video watching in your channel loved it and .your honest suggestion made me to subscribe to your channel 🤩🤩🤩
This is the first video that I've watched on your channel (came up in the suggested videos). Great video, awesome content, (not that I can afford an exotic). I just subscribed. Looking forward to more content.
Good points man. Thanks for letting us know!
When you are buying an exotic car are you buying it for prestige or are you buying it for a true driving experience?
Alot of people dont know the difference...
Absolutely true👌
Interesting video... and good choice of car 👍
You seem to be much into resell value; then I really suggest to service it with an official garage of the brand even though it costs more, you will get that money back if you are able to provide a full service history with the brand to a potential buyer.
Protective wrapping? Costs way too much in my opinion. I just drive it both on and off track and have it resprayed before I sell it (2 years) for the price of a protective wrap. The plus is that you can paint it into a popular color at the time of sales.
Thank you for the heads up. I'm looking into a AMG GT-R Pro. Now I am considering a used one.
In general however much you spend modifying your car take that amount off the value. If you're trading it in the dealership is going to have to take it back to stock so the mods are worth less than nothing since it's going to cost them to replace them.
Guys! Just trust him when he says something! )
Is that a horse 🐎 Completely lost my train of thought when I saw it actually was 😂
I can see and tell you really love how your car farts. Lovely ...
kuuku Yankson 😂
Can’t wait to buy a 2017 Acura NSX and taking it to the Honda dealer 😎
If/When I buy my first exotic, depreciation would be the last thing I’ll be thinking about. I’m reselling it ever. Of course I’ll do thorough research on everything else, but reselling will the last thing in my mind.
Other tips are very helpful tho. Thank you!!
That’s a very stupid way to think in terms of your finances, you ain’t going to keep the car forever (most likely) hence the resell value should definitely be considered if you’re not looking to lose a lot of money.
adam khalfi But the thing is I do plan on keeping it forever. I made up my mind that I will forever keep the first exotic I ever get. That’s why I explicitly said “first exotic” on my original comment. That’s my trophy and I plan on enjoying and using the hell out of that car. So yes, depreciation would be the last thing I’ll worry about.
If you are overflowing with cash it’s a great time to buy a sports car. These are dropping like a rock as the economy tanks.
I recognize that road. Effingham is awesome, especially when you start at the south end and head north. Is this your go-to driving road? Trying to find a few more good ones in the Niagara region. The parkway is great, if a little congested at times
