Hi
Would anyone happen to know the owner of this 650s, I believe it may be on SOR and I have a question regarding the specification / original order.

Blimey, that looks lovely.
2k miles and what, half price?

It does look a nice car, I would like to get a better understanding on why it has the unusual wing vents.
Have these been retro fitted?
Not sure on the list price as I think these got discounted when new, from ready other threads these have taken a hammering in price lately so it could be half price I guess.
It’s also a Coupé, I think the cab carries more of a following and is priced higher.

I noticed that car too and it's now 2K cheaper as well. I had been looking at 720s, but given the way the market is going everywhere I wonder if this is a more sensible option - the coupes have a nicer roof line in my view.
Am I correct in thinking it’s been up for sale for a long time? No, I think it has only just come on the market recently. There is a similar priced, aged and mileage coupe (in Orange) which GVE have had for a long time and the price has progressively followed the market down from £160k + to £124,900 now. I'm probably not in a position to buy currently, but have to wonder whether a 2018 720s with similar mileage really is worth £70k+ more than these relatively rare 650 coupes, especially in the long term? Is the 720 really that much better/faster?
Hi Brad, thank you for the input, having owned both, I guess you've voted with your feet and gone from 650 to 570 via 720, so are well placed to answer that - is the 720 really noticeably faster on the road (I know Mclaren figures show 0-60 in 2.9 vs 3.0 or something similar) but do you really notice 0.1 of a second? and from my perspective, it's the more intangible differences, plus the reliability question - the depreciation is a known (or rather we can make our own judgement, based upon the vehicle's values on the market) Sorry for the rambling question, but I'm trying to judge if it's worthwhile and am therefore interested from an ownership perspective, which I cannot judge from a 5 minute test drive of either car.

Only circa 40-50 Coupes in the UK........apparently.........Spider came straight after the Coupe and almost no one ordered Coupe after that......
They were made available at the same time.Charlie360 said:

Yes it really is noticeably faster on the road. Whether or not it's worth due to that difference in speed is subjective but there is absolutely no doubt the 720 is blisteringly quick to the point of being hard to believe.Clearly that dealer has seen this thread and know people are talking about the car so has decided to take his chance and increase his asking price. If so it’s not good business IMO.
I’ve kept an eye on the coupe which VVS have had up for sale since the summer at £117k, it hasn’t been dropped in price yet but assume a drop on this car may be coming or it may get taken off sale as it doesn’t look good being for sale for so long.
There’s a few Mclaren dealer spiders priced around £125k now, IMO it would make sense to try and secure a deal on a siper which has been Mclaren inspected and you also get the benefit of the 12 month warranty.
I’m contemplating another car and a 650s may fit the bill compared to other cars available.
Do people think these will follow the 12c pricing? I don’t really want to take a £40k hit over 2 to 3 years on a car I will do around 2000 miles a year in at most.
Would anyone know what the trade bid would be on the black car in this advert?
