Wait, are those guide prices or actual recorded sale prices?

says "Provisional"

normally means close but no cigar
Bids close to reserve but not enough.

Given it's a relatively new car why wouldn't they just sell it through a dealer?

Too much stock in the dealer network? It does seem strange.

[tyrrell]

It maybe a troublesome car that they have had to buy back from a customer, so don’t want it going through the official retail dealer network.

The car is a strange colour of blue imo with light cream interior not to all tastes.

7.5k miles too so thickish mileage for the age for the dealer network to retail.

The 12 plate 12c is back in the sale again next week.

Hi,

I'm weighing up a purchase of a used 570GT, was thinking of a 991.1 GT3 but when a newer McLaren is coming in at a similar cost (more depreciation I'm sure) it makes sense to explore.

Seen one advertised at Hatfield. I like the colour combination - look like a decent spec but new to the brand specs / used pricing.
Looks like the advertised price has drifted down already.

Anything jump out to more experienced eyes on this car?

Thanks in advance

Hi Eddie, I’m also looking to get a GT next year, I’m no expert on them so sorry can’t help on that but not sure if your aware 17 are listed on autotrader and only 2 on pistonheads.

Colour combo not to every ones taste, interior looks very dirty, drivers seat bolster looks worn and scuffed in the pictures.

The seat bolster is the stand out thing for me. A lot of ingress and egress for an 8,000 mile car.

It was the Autocar long term test car and so likely to have been well prepped by McLaren before they put it back on the market

Well prepped or well hammered?

True - I’m sure it will give years of trouble free motoring if looked after.

For some reason they are almost all listed under 570s on Pistonheads. There will be c20 if you look there.

Funny I thought it was the old PH/Autocar long term test car, lots of comments when PH specked the car on the weird interior choice, especially with the exterior paint colour.

Being ex press car explains why the interior is in the state it’s in, looks like the pictures were taken before a full valet

[eddiewright]

Thanks for the help, will look at other ones - not too keen on selling on an ex press car

& appreciate the tip on 570GT's being listed under 570S here on PistonHeads, has broadened out the stock I can see

Like the look of this one:
