. Is there really that much of a difference between a 997 and a 991 and a 992, or a 650 and a 720? Yet the car manufacturers do everything they can to induce us to get on that hamster wheel and buy the newest one, own it for two years then sell it at a £75k loss and buy another, which one would own for another two years. Rinse, repeat....
Therefore, if you want to have a different (I would say better, but obviously that is subjective) experience, the answer is not to start running on the manufacturers' new car hamster wheel, but instead to consider older things with less (but still more than enough) performance and definitely more character.
Fully agree with you there.Therefore, if you want to have a different (I would say better, but obviously that is subjective) experience, the answer is not to start running on the manufacturers' new car hamster wheel, but instead to consider older things with less (but still more than enough) performance and definitely more character.
My only point was that I did see a rather large difference in performance, even on the road, with a lighter car using a smaller turbo motor (and not just compared to the Aston). That performance is character in itself.

How long before these are a 150K ?
This year would be my guess!
As an example if you search for 570 and request delivery mileage in the search there appears to be 18 pre registered cars registered with delivery mileage but not sold
The Joker in the pack appears to be this 17 MY registered IN 2018 570s Spyder. So your new delivery miles bought in 2019 570s is actually a 2017 MY year car.

It counts in the 2018 SMMT sales figures as a sold car but is yet to find an owner along with another 17 570's.It would appear that the smoke and mirrors sales game is at work here!

Second you drive it out it will be worth 40k less ??
Never you mind said:
Crystal ball time.
Lets say someone bought that white 720s, drove it around for a few years - say 2 - and added 6-8K on the mileage. Roughly how much should one factor in losing on it? I kind of figure around 20K. Which for the car you are getting seems quite reasonable.
Which white 720? I can’t seem to find the link. Lets say someone bought that white 720s, drove it around for a few years - say 2 - and added 6-8K on the mileage.

I d suggest whatever 720, you’re going to burn more than 20k in 2 years even with low mileage.

I'd budget on losing £40-65k Lets say someone bought that white 720s, drove it around for a few years - say 2 - and added 6-8K on the mileage. Roughly how much should one factor in losing on it? I kind of figure around 20K. Which for the car you are getting seems quite reasonable.

What percent of the market for these is the flashy type? As with the lambo suv and the upcoming Aston and so on, demand for used sports cars may reduce a little in favour of the super SUVs?Lets say someone bought that white 720s, drove it around for a few years - say 2 - and added 6-8K on the mileage.

£50k was my guess.
easily, especially if getting rid back into the tradeTHAT level of depreciation is not impossible but the UK and Europe would need to be in recession or worse and if the MAC falls that far then I would say everything will have fallen considerably. So 458s and 991gt3s etc will all have to be much cheaper as I do not see a buyer of a 720s being in direct comparison to a gt3 buyer!

Does anyone remember seeing what price this was on before they reduced it?
There should be another a grand cheaper than this appearing soon if the last few weeks is anything to go by.
I make that £150k in August time (ish)

I wouldn’t be surprised if the cheapest ones were at 150k or below by year end. Quite a few coupes might come on the market once the spider gets delivered imo - esp from people who are spending money to get on the LT list
Also values seem to be falling across the market incl Porsches, Ferraris etc - just too much choice for buyers and a finite set of people who want to spend 150k plus on a sports car

Can't see that car being worth 120K in 2 years time. That's just ridiculous. You would have to be seriously mental to buy any second hand McLaren if that's what you get slapped with after ownership.
That might well be what you're offered in trade to get it sold if you wanted rid asap to be fair. Trade buyers even or should I say especially Mclaren's own official dealerships just do not like any Mclarens as a general rule unfortunately. Going SOR and being prepared to wait and be realistic definitely will do much better.As far as asking prices, assuming 12c/650 prices are indicative of price trends (big if), the 720 might well stick for a while having had it's first big drop but you'd have to get out in time before the next big downstep which will happen sooner or later.
