Phwoar-rari! Murray splashes out

Quote

Andy Murray appears to have more money than sense after it has been estimated he is paying £100,000 insurance per year for his new 196mph Ferrari F430.

In 2007, Murray said his most indulgent purchase was a Playstation 2 but times have changed and given his bank balance, you can't blame the 22-year-old for wanting to buy a supercar after passing his driving test earlier this year. The problem is, based on Murray's age and lack of driving experience, he's an insurer's worst nightmare.

The Scot purchased the second-hand 4.3litre engine Ferrari for £100,000, allegedly to cheer himself up after splitting with long term girlfriend, Kim Sears. Murray may have saved £50,000 by getting it second-hand but his annual insurance will likely be the same price as the car itself.

AA Insurance, which asked its panel of more than 20 insurers to estimate a quote, said: "Most wouldn't touch it. And those who would are likely to charge £100,000 a year."

If it costs as much as the car itself to insure fully, he'll probably just take out 3rd party insurance.

The rich tend to stay that way by being frugal.  (some but not all I should add) Just because you've got it doesn't mean you have to spend it all.  I think hes sensible.

Of course he bought it second hand - there's lots of bankers wanting to get rid of theirs; too good an opportunity to miss!  Whistle
