    First time buying Huracan

    I've just been checking autotrader for UK and there's a few on there ranging from 175k - 190k.

    My main concern is the mileage on the current cars, the cheapest ones have like 7k+ miles, but there are some around 3k, and also a few around 1000.

    Would I come across any kind of problems at all with high mileage or anything else?

    Also are there some things I absolutely must know/do/don't before I buy?

    And one last question is how to get insured for an under 25 year old, I'm not aware of any good private insurance companies.

    Thanks very much!

    7000 miles is not high mileage on these cars, at all, mechanically. This MAY have applied to Italian exotics of old, but now, they are engineered extremely well, as a whole.

    Would you be wary of a one-year-old Toyota Camry with 7000 miles?

    Sorry, this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, this notion that exotic cars will implode if driven for more than a few miles a year, if any! Think of it this way - the car that has been driven, will have its problems revealed and already sorted out.

    Good luck in your search - and don't limit yourself simply due to mileage!

    The mileage itself its not a problem but how was the car was driven in those tousands of miles. Still, in the end you are buying a car thats still in warranty so you should be okay.
    Also, i think you should buy a car that has some key options like the lift for example.
    As for insurance i think UK owners could add a valuable input on this question.

    I feel like no lift is borderline bumper suicide!

    7000 miles on a Huracan is a total non issue. Plus you have warranty so as long you plan on keeping it past that I would go for it.

    Its not about age or record, its about the insured value. In ny case its 200k euros and the insurance percentage is 3% per year which means 6k per year. In some countries is lower like France or MUCH higher like Switzerland where is 10% or more depending on the insurance company. I'm texting Mr. Hurricane with this thread link to chime in and tell you how much he pays for his city car, you won't believe it!

    ah crazy. in the uk at least, everything plays a part, age, record, area of country, where the car is kept overnight, previous car history etc. Lucky for me I live in an area with very little crime.

    I pay 3000 pounds. 27 years old. no points or convictions with my pal as a named driver, also 27 years old. this policy lets me and my named driver drive any other car fully comprehensive also as long as we don't own the other car.

    had I been a few years older, the same policy would allow anybody over 18 to drive the huracan with my permission. I think that's called a chub policy when you call A-plan
