Buy a cheaper i8!! And make sure you say there's a tracker fitted.

There are a fair few at about 62k and I've been watching them come down as I've been following UK prices closely.

So there's bound to be a deal to be done below 60k. And that seems to be a value trigger point for some insurers - so having a car worth 59.5k with a tracker could be the difference. Try some comparison sites and see what happens.

IMO you're better off buying one that's been used regularly with 20k miles on than one that's been sat mollycoddled and only brought out on a sunny day. Any teething issues may not have been found yet.
