Get behind the wheel of a Ferrari f430 (change relative to graphic) with an exotic car club membership from Extreme Car Share, LLC.

When Money Matters

It is no myth—exotics are expensive to purchase, and aren't cheap to maintain. The Extreme Car Share program makes it possible to satisfy such an indulgence at a cost which is reasonable, and virtually eliminates the downside.

Many owners of exotic and highline autos don't get as much use from the vehicle as one might expect.

Research of Mileage April '06 (Vehicle Use)

A sample of ten '03 Ferraris (360 Modena) in the marketplace (auction listings on Ebay motors) showed odometer readings with a low mileage of 2,898 and a high mileage of 10,929, averaging out to 177 miles per month.

A sample of ten '03 Lamborghini Murcielagos in the marketplace (listed for sale at DupontRegistry.com) showed odometer readings with a low mileage of 800 and a high mileage of 27,000, averaging out to 186 miles per month.

Based on the above, these beauties are only being driven 177 to 186 miles a month.

We are not suggesting individuals who purchase these rare machines aren't enjoying them. It seems they aren't enjoying them enough. It is hard for us to believe that any person who purchases a membership in Extreme Car Share won't get 150 plus miles behind the wheel during their monthly time with the vehicle (hmmm...where to go?).

The point we are trying to make is that the average owner's cost of owning ONE exotic, due to its very limited use— the low mileage on average and the costs associated with 100% ownership—is significantly higher than the relative costs of the Extreme Car Share program, without even considering that each membership you buy represents an interest in a collection (more than one extreme car). The major difference is that the time is scheduled in advance.

Why go through all the expense of owning one car outright, yet drive it so little? Not to mention monies tied up in a vehicle that continually depreciates. When you consider the average mileage driven noted above, it is easy to see why Extreme Car Share is much more financially appealing.

Run the numbers—it's easy to see that the Extreme Car Share program just makes sense.
