Andy Murray's early Christmas present to himself, a used one-owner red Ferrari F430, may end up costing much more than its $160,000 pricetag when the 22-year-old multi-millionaire goes to get the beast insured.
British tabloid media showed the world No. 4 with his newest toy but inquired with motoring experts as exactly how much of a bargain the insurance will costs.
Best guesses say that annual insurance for an unmarried 22-year-old driving one of the fastest cars on the planet would easily cost the entire purchase price - per annum.
Statistically, Murray, who only earned his driving license at mid-year, fulfills almost every category for high-risk young drivers. And it doesn't help being celebrity in case of a prang, with any victim sure to try and milk that aspect for a bigger insurance payout.
Murray bought the Ferrari only weeks after splitting with long-time girlfriend Kim Sears, daughter of a tennis coach.

The real question is...what 22 year old would pass up the opportunity to own a Ferrari if given the chance?
You have to wonder how good a driver he is after 6 months practice though. Might have been better off starting with a Honda Civic.....

Good on you muzza. Get the Ferrari in before you need space for the baby car seat.
