I have a ZX3 Focus (lady driven, low mileage, autumn red) which I gladly exchange for 
a Ferrari (any colour) or Aston-Martin (only racing green). Are you interested?

RAC isn't meant to be cheap. It is a fault-tolerant technology.
You cannot buy a Ferrari or Aston-Martin for $15,000 with only 2.5% APR.
As a matter of fact, when you are buying a red Ferrari, you are probably
not even going to mention APR. That is a difference between Ford Focus or 
Dodge Neon and a Ferrari. On the other hand, Neon or Focus probably do 
have better gas mileage.
