Any onwers of both 540 and 570?
Discussion
I am in the market for a Mclaren 570s but before I bite the bullet I was wondering if any owners had any real world experience of the 540 vs the 570. If so how do the compare in real world day to day and did you find the 570 worth the extra £?
I was too slow off mark missed out on a 540 that went on EBay for £68k last month (66 plate, 8 months warranty) that's now up at a dealer +£10k.
In no rush at all as its just a weekend car (I generally do less than 2k miles a year) and the longer I leave it prices I am sure will soften again in the next 2-4 months (noted a few are up a few £k).
Willing to spend up to £80k for the right car as have a max £85k budget but sensible head on factoring in a service and warranty extension within the next 12 months. Meaning £80k is my actual purchase limit (unless its been serviced in the last month and comes with a full 12 or 24 month warranty).

Budget was flexible and the spider has really grown on me so man maths meant I put a £99k offer in on this earlier

Not willing to go any higher as 2 owner and the first was the dealer (demo) and due a service in April. It’s a SOR car so hopefully the seller is on here and we can cut out the middle man.
Offer was rejected initially but I am not in a rush at all so interested to see if it sells or starts to come down so will watch it.

A sensible move in my opinion I think a £100k spider is in scope there were a couple earlier in the year, I am waiting patiently for the right colour and spec before I make a move.
Good luck with the bid.
Worth bearing in mind that many highly specced and desirable Macs are never advertised. Many are OftenGood luck with the bid.
sold within the Mac Clubs or sourced direct from owners by specialised dealerships or Individuals. But good luck

Yeah I thought that was the case but seems the owners clubs want proof of ownership to join.
If you join the ‘McLaren Owners and Enthusiasts’ FB page (free to join and no proof of ownership required) most of the UK Owners Club membership is on there anyway. Lots of UK based owners.There’s two main FB groups worth joining:
McLaren Owners & Enthusiasts. Worldwide but lots of UK owners.
McLaren Owners Technical Group. This one is operated by Thorney. It is mostly UK owners and a good source of information.
Thanks for the responses all. Hopefully have a 570s sorted.
Just need to arrange to go and see it and all being well collect it. Typically we are at opposite ends of the country but hopefully will be able to sort over the next week or so.
Higher mileage and more owners that I initially wanted but hopefully at a price I wont take a complete bath come re-sell time. Within the ~£85k initial max budget can factor in getting the warranty extended to August 2022 and pay for next service when its due in the summer. So all warranty and service costs will be covered until mid 2022.
Also being slightly higher mileage should mean the major bugs worked out. Noted allot seem to do less that 1500 miles a year (that's allot of sitting about). 3 options it doesn't have that I ideally wanted are reverse camera, BW and soft close doors. But does have a track pack (not that I will be tracking it) so should help retain a bit more future value than a standard car with the above 3 options.

I had soft close fitted to my 650 for £1,100 - so it's not all that expensive to add if you want it.
I don't have reverse camera, but did when I had a 540 for a few weeks. Don't miss it
Thanks yes I will see how annoyed I get having to slam the doors. I was the same in my exige learned to live without one but handy at times.I don't have reverse camera, but did when I had a 540 for a few weeks. Don't miss it

I use my reverse camera quite a bit, but more so the sensors.
I'd also say mileage is good, if or when I swap my 540C for another McLaren, I'll deliberately look for a used one as like you said, the niggles should be ironed out.
Congrats though, which colour have you gone for?
Volcano yellow - hopefully it comes off - getting there is even more of a PITA with the new restrictions etc. Car trailering quotes coming back mentally high. Looks like everyone is getting their cars shipped around currently.I'd also say mileage is good, if or when I swap my 540C for another McLaren, I'll deliberately look for a used one as like you said, the niggles should be ironed out.
