Which would you buy?

[squirejo]

Thank you for all the assistance in my "basic questions" thread. I have decided I would prefer a spider but budget allows only for the following 2 cars. I would appreciate views on the relative merits of the spec: which would you buy?

For the sake of comparison, assume both are a popular colour (subjective) and both are available at the same price. Both have same interior stitch highlights etc.

Car 1
McLaren supplied. 3 owners, 20k miles

Pro's:
12 mth warranty / mc inspected etc
Iris 2
Carbon interior
Super light weight alloys

Cons
3 owners
Mileage
Standard seats (non heated/ elec)

Car 2
Specialist supplied , 1 owner,15k miles

Pros
Mileage/ owners
Heated/ elec seats

Cons
Iris 1
Standard interior (silver) panels ie no carbon

Thank you!

No sapphire black at McLaren london bought at a good price with some goodies like fitted luggage thrown in.

For posterity and future buyers, this is what I wrote to Alistair, who has the other car- volcano red.

Alistair,


I am now a member of the McLaren family- I have bought the sapphire black spider from Mac london. I am paying xxx with a load of stuff thrown in (luggage, cover etc) plus the other benefits of an approved used car.

I have owned a lot of cars and its painfully difficult to find dealers who are responsive and helpful. You are certainly best in class in that regard and your reputation entirely deserved. Thank you for all your help and assistance, I am sorry we didn't get to shake hands on a. Deal this time. I am quite sure as or when I come to sell the car I will ever calling you.
