Who sent it to you? Surely they know where it came from?

The info is third/fourth hand. I have asked and will post here if I get anything of value.

Thanks.

What’s an extended warranty on used one? A quick google suggests circa £5k PA.

If that’s the case and you really can rent one for £500 a month why would anyone buy used? No tyres, no maintenance, no repairs.

No wonder every Tom, Dick and YouTuber is driving one.

A) a quick Google is wrong, it’s sub 3k per annum and a McLaren Qualified car will have a year.

B) that finance example is on a used car not a new one

That finance example was on a new car

Not at £120k for a 570S it wasn’t.

The discount from McLaren was £62,000. Car was pre-built and already in stock, but not registered.

That’s crazy discounting even by McLaren standards

Is that detail on the image ?

ETA - on reflection that explains the low cost of ownership underpinning the deal.

Depreciation from list over the period is £73k but dealer must be incentivised to shift the unit.

Please post details of where we can get a sub-£3k warranty from. In a WhatsApp Group with several owners who would like to know

Thorney Motorsport for non Mac warranty is approx 2.5k I believe

McGlasgow told me this morning that Super Series is 3.5k and Sports Series 2.8k

Including VAT?

This “deal” would have been for a specific stock car where the dealer has given up a substantial amount of their margin, and likely McL UK will have provided some stock support, likely the car was aged (like 1yr in stock unsold) and so together would have discounted the car by c.£30/40k

The actual economics are quite simple.

But it is not a “deal” available en masse and rather a one off.

Of course given recent market conditions, the lender may now take a much dimmer view of 13 month RV’s and so I doubt they would still be as high.

Despite being a great car, sold through a reputable dealer, and having a huge plug on here, 3 weeks later, and the car in the article is on Autotrader still, for just under £95k.

The market is stagnant at the moment, other brands are not selling either.
