Good way of looking at it, fingers crossed it works for you. Out of interest how many miles did it have on it if you paid way less than 90k for a 570s?
34k. Came with a 1 year Mac warranty and was for sale via MacGlasgow so faultless condition and just had major service/updates when it arrived. Nothing to spend for 12 months in theory.What are people's negative experience of McLaren buy back?
It's been listed as one of the issues - but if they are that picky on what they'd buy back, I'm surprised they were selling a 34K 2 year old 570.
(Note, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that car - it seems an excellent way to get into McLaren ownership. Just surprised it came from an official dealer given the earlier comments about their reluctance to buy cars back).

It depends on whether you are part exchanging I think. A car is much more likely to be accepted if you are buying another. As an outright buy from the dealer to take the car off you....well....I was advised to look into a famous online 2nd hand buyer than rely on the dealership providing a bid.It's been listed as one of the issues - but if they are that picky on what they'd buy back, I'm surprised they were selling a 34K 2 year old 570.

Fully specked GT3RS 2018 tops at £165k new,your telling me his dealer was offering £115k costing him £50k in depreciation when they are clearly selling in the market right now at £200k plus
Laughable Sorry
Unless he was not the first owner and paid stupid overs in the first place,circa £250k,still making the car £200k today which is still 35k over list
Nobody actually paid list for a GT3 RS though, nobody could just walk into a Porsche dealership and buy a brand new list price GT3 RS without having a long history of being financially buggered from buying and selling back other Porsches over years to climb up the ladder of dealer love. You try getting a new GT Porsche from a dealership cold, it simply won't happen.Laughable Sorry

Or... buy used and paying a ridiculous amount over list which is the position I has assumed this guy was in. Probably paid £250k for used Porsche that was listed at £165k and now being offered £200k to take it back would be my assumption. That's a £50k loss on an investment gamble rather than £50k depreciation, very different.
McLaren could learn a lot from Porsche on how to play with their customers, but I'm really glad they don't
It’s not easy to buy one for sure but also not impossible, I’ve just bought a new RS at list for July build and previously only bought GT cars from my dealer, it’s as much to do with your passion about the brand and the dealer!

I'm not sure how that works, but good news on the incoming RS.You need to be careful dispelling that myth though, once people think anybody can get a new GT Porsche the investors will leave the Porsche market and go on to other marques.

I just meant you don’t have to buy 20 cars to get one. I believe there are less than 100 RS WP cars coming though so fair to say pretty scarce!

I like your approach, sounds like you have a good useable car which comes with the all important warranty, in theory you paid gt4 money for a 570s!
I was looking at GT4's and Spyders but for similar money I got a 2016 current model McLaren instead. What's not to like?davek_964 said:
Wow. That is pretty appalling.
I might also add that was the same dealership I bought the car years ago and that I had spent a fortune in servicing and maintenance on. The inability to get out of a car that has reasonable usage and the (many) issues I had with servicing in the last 2 years I had the car means I'm simply not going back to any McLaren no matter what I'm afraid to say. Which is a bit of a shame as the cars definitely do drive right (when they work).

Btw, you know the 991.2GT3 is the most common variant!
