Prices on the up

[RamboLambo]

As everyone else seems to be talking prices and sellers are thinking of a number and adding a nought when advertising interesting to see this car re appear £10k more expensive.

Is it the first sign prices of the mighty McLaren 650s are finally on the up as summer demand increases and no more production means supply is limited

Prices of convertibles goes up just before summer? Who'd have thunk it🤔

[Russell996]

Yep lovely car.
£275k list, 3700 miles, now £191k before deal is done.
Why do you say production has stopped?

There seems to be a few for sale which surprises me,maybe buyers are flocking to the 12C??

"new" price on that is misleading
They have added up the list price of each option when nearly all were part of one pack or another
I paid £20k more for a new build with a similar spec (no sports exhaust and less CF)

Agree pack prices are cheaper than individual components but even so its a high spec car and considerable saving off list.

You pays your money and takes your choice. Like you I decided to go the new route and pay a premium only because I'm ultra fussy about my cars. Its the only way I know exactly how its been driven and looked after.

If you got a car built to spec for £210k you have done well. I bought a stock car in December and got a very good deal and TBH I don't think I would of specced it any differently. The only thing extra I would of considered at the time was the surround sound 3 extra speakers upgrade but at £3k and coming from behind the seats where the exhaust window is located it would of been a waste in hindsight IMHO.
I much rather listen to the exhaust sound with the roof up and window down

How rude ?! Apart from being factually incorrect What's that got to do with anything ?

Are you the chap that still desperately aspires to own a car with a 7 year manufacturers warranty but cant afford it ?

It would be good to balance this thread with a link to your earlier thread "I lost a shed load on my 650S from new"

Well not really Dave because its not the case. Yes I've lost a little for a new car premium but in the scale of things its not vastly different from any of the other supercars I bought 2nd hand in some cases.
Maybe I bought it right being a December stock car

Just of idle curiosity I checked the classifieds for 12C spiders just now and there is 1 for sale (pretty ordinary but not wrong with it) and 3 dealers with wanted ads. Which is nice.

I have one....
I also have a little pot of cash, that the wife has an eye on to turn into a new kitchen so need to spend it quick...

If I sold it (the 12CS not the wife) - what next ???? ...I cant justify the £40k to a 650s spyder
So in many ways values are irrelevant ..what I would like to see is the price gap to the 650s reduce(sorry 650s owners ) .....

or 991 GT3 RS/ 675LT or Aventadors drop significantly (fat chance of this)

So do I. And I am wondering if it's 40k...

That's like wanting your cake and eating it. The missus wants me to buy a big house with 6 garages but to do it I need to sell 3 of the cars -
That's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

I could have bought a brand new high spec 650 spider in February for March delivery (not to my spec) with a massive discount for £185k, maybe a touch less. With hndsight, it would have been a good buy with some of the prices being asked for 570's, I didn't go for it as I prefer the coupe but couldn't find one that looked good, The 12C is a much nicer looking car IMO than the 650 from the front and all the stock cars just didn't look right at the front.
