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)
Probably get it cheaper now I imagine. There is a black one at JZM with only 1K miles compared to 13K on this one, for the same price. Does anyone remember seeing what price this was on before they reduced it?

That car was around £205K several weeks back and has been progressively reduced down to the current point, but compared to anything else on the market is pretty high mileage, so has to have something else to differentiate it - the price is the only thing that the dealer can change.......
Regarding the general state of the market why is everyone so surprised with trade bids? If a dealer doesn't want to buy a car currently, then of course they'll offer ridiculous money, if the vendor is desperate enough then they'll take the bid, if not they won't and the price offered isn't necessarily the market trade value.
I have been watching the market for a while and (from my perspective) trying to figure out when the cars that I'd like, reach a price that I'm prepared to pay for them - to a greater extent we are all like that - and so is the main market beyond the subset of PistonHeads commentators. We currently face unprecedented uncertainty in the UK super car market over Brexit, winter time, etc. etc. and most people will sit on their hands, but at some point there are people out there with differing circumstances, who for various reasons think that some cars now represent a reasonable deal - and if you buy one and are happy to keep it longer term, then even if prices dip further, then it becomes slightly academic.
And for what it's worth, I have quietly been willing the market to fall, but now think, given the performance and the (relative) exclusivity of the 720 that it's reached a point where I'm prepared to chance my arm and buy a car - whilst I may be in the minority, I'm unlikely to be alone in this market and hence support a price point - I'm certain the prices will continue to drop, but at what speed and for what spec, age and mileage really depends upon who's out there and looking - that is surely what makes a market, isn't it?
Just my 2 pence......

Not wanting to sound difficult, but that is exactly what the market trade value isSurely the trade value is only that, if the vendor accepts that price? If I make a new offer to a 720 owner of £15 and they turn me down, then surely that's just an offer, not the trade value of a 720? And as I mentioned previously, I'm sure prices will trend down further, it's just that certain cars on the current market, with all the information I currently have at hand, makes me think they are worth buying, so I have offered on a car listed on PH currently.
Now down to £175k.

Might be able to do a straight swap for one with my 570S by the end of the year!

My my that is cheap but then 488 are now getting down to low £180s no problem so it’s really inevitable 720s will find the floor around 180 to 210 with spec variations (my two pence and speaking as pure conjecture!)
I think said floor is going to be more like £140/150k....f1ten said:
If so then 650s will be 120k max if not 100k!
Big factor with all supercars is actual repair bills once they hit 3 yrs old/ ex warranty. I can speak knowledgeably about that
Good low mileage 650s spiders can be bought for 120k from a dealer at the moment. Big factor with all supercars is actual repair bills once they hit 3 yrs old/ ex warranty. I can speak knowledgeably about that
Looks a lot of car for the money.
Do people think the 650s will follow 12c prices, can a sensible miles 12c fall below 70k?
My following comment is merely a conversation starter:
If mclaren had done everything the exact same way from the beginning, but instead of a turbo charged engine, it had some kind of naturally aspirated engine, would the values of the cars hold better?
I am just wondering if one of the issues Mclarens have is that the cars don't have a "supercar" engine - yes, I know they are blindingly fast, but not particularly exciting engines. This means that mclarens become numbers cars in peoples eyes, hence why when a new model comes out, there is nothing to draw someone to the older model. Look at the values of lambos? Even very early gallardos are similar prices to a 12C. And I feel that that is because due to the engine, it is always going to be a special thing.
Just wondering what other peoples thoughts are.

I must be odd as I find the 650 (with sports exhaust) just as exciting/noisy/fun as any of them!!
Conversation piece; just looked at redline cars amazing stock perhaps some are Sor and I salute them for their quality and what they have achieved in a short time however :
Laferrari Aperta is being flipped for mega bucks moe than it cost the owner.
Looking further down their adverts, 812 super fast delivery miles and big Premium being sought, 2x 991 gt3rs both with delivery miles and premiums being sought (I.e speculators selling)
Mc 600lt clearly a speculator , 2 urus jeeps with a bit of mileage but of course bought to run then flip by buyers obviously inside if 6 months etc etc
It’s quite incredible this debt fuelled speculative game has gone on as long as this actually. I’ve been hearing stories of net loses on huracan performante up to £ 40k and we know the story with the 720s. The Merc amg gtr lasted for about 4 months hype and is tanking.
So when will this market return to normal ???
I would much rather buy in when depreciation sets back in !

I'll disagree. I had an LP560 and a 430 also and while the 650S with Sports Exhaust is easily as exciting and as much fun as those two (if not more) it's a mile behind aurally.I must be odd as I find the 650 (with sports exhaust) just as exciting/noisy/fun as any of them!!

2 La Ferraris, 1 Pista and 1 812. Maybe someone offloading their collection? Laferrari Aperta is being flipped for mega bucks moe than it cost the owner.

Wonder if the chap that's flipping a pista will be blacklisted by Ferrari?
