the 458 spec was great value imo, surprised you declined- the parts alone come to 50k euros! and it was a £30k premium

He never said it wasn't great value...

He said it wasn't worth (to him) upgrading a 458 to a speciale, probably an 80/100k upgrade at the time.

The current upgrade cost from 458 to speciale is anywhere between 160 and 200k.. Although i agree that at the time speciale's were in production that the gap was a lot lower.

I was offered a Speciale build slot but declined and bought a Huracan... Boy do I regret that decision!

Cant see it on web, any price or POA?

Just to add to the 458 Speciale debate, you have to remember that back when they were out they weren't selling that well.

I was offered a new special by my dealer with a discount, but decided to stick with my 458 spider.

Hey ho...

When you consider how much whinging about mclaren = depreciation on forums, that’s quite impressive that there are people willing to spend their actual £200+k hard earned cash on the 600LT.

Parting way with £200+k shows faith in this model.

If you read the forums Mclaren drivers could not care less about depreciation they have in their opinion the best car out there and they have more money than those Ferrari buyers.

Having driven the 600LT this week I can absolutely understand why people would buy this car - having driven my 570S on track, it’s an amazing car but the 600LT is a big step up.

No wants high depreciation, but the McLarens are noticeably better drivers' cars...and life is too short. If you want an appreciating asset, you're probably better buying bricks & mortar smile

I 100% believe however that McLaren need to support independents, reduce build numbers and reduce used warranty costs. Awesome cars, lousy short term thinking management policies.

Am I right in thinking there are plenty of 600LT slots still available should someone want to place a factory order?

Yes definite slots available for Coupe (if you are quick) and Spyder. Ascot is the ticket.

Not sure why anyone would order one now.........by the time it arrives in the summer it'll be worth about £50k under list as soon as it's paid for.......the market will be full of them by then........look at all the Senna's appearing currently........

Impressive crystal ball you got there.

Maybe you'll be right, maybe it'll follow in footsteps of 675LT, who knows.

The same depreciation argument could be used for 99% of new cars though.
