Volcano Yellow 570s

[Am43]

Well, as any mclaren owner will know, every now and again you receive a text/email from the local dealer saying they are looking for stock and in a moment of total madness I decided to reply and before you know it the car is gone !

To be honest part of me is already regretting the decision as I really do love the car, I’m coming up to 4 years of ownership and thought it was time to try something new, however I don’t really know what yet..

The car has been brilliant during my ownership and I covered 10k miles in total !, mileage now on 24k as I handed it over.

Did I lose a little money over the 4 years, yes of course, but it wasn’t too bad. Was it worth it, absolutely !

The car is now for sale at McGlasgow

Sad times to say the least !

Plenty of owners reply - but the offer from the dealer usually makes them rethink!

If you only lost a "little" money by selling back to the dealer network directly - especially when it's not as a part ex for a newer car - you've done very well.

Thanks for the update.

Do McGlasgow own the car now or have they offered you a trade price once it’s sold?

They have bought the car from me, it isn’t SOR, trade upon sale or anything like that.

so true!

A real shame to see you leaving the fold. Has it sold already?

Im not sure if it’s sold yet mate, I’m sure I will be back in another one at some point though. Probably sooner than later !

This thread was one of the ones I read that nudged me towards a 570, so thank you for sharing your story with the car, which I still think looks fab in the photos here.

It would be interesting to hear what you go for next, if you feel like sharing, and how it compares.

Time to upgrade to 600LT?

I suspect you’ll miss your McLaren, few cars get close to it.

I’ve bought your volcano yellow 570s. Picking it up in the morning.

Good quick work!

Seems like McGlasgow had a buyer lined up!

Yeah suspected it had sold already, only reason I asked was I was having a look around yesterday and didn't see it on McGlasgow's site..

Sorry to see you leaving the fold.

Ive been toying with buying a 650 but have held off as access to my garage is very narrow, think Austin Seven width, just not sure about parking it outside on the drive. Not had any trouble in our area and well my Merc SL has lived on the drive for over 7 years now.

So AM43 does your car live on the drive with the BMW?

Oh congratulations , I hope the car brings you as much enjoyment as is it brought me.

I have missed it the last few days with the weather being so good.

No mate, the car lives in the garage, I also never used it from oct- April. Not that you couldn’t keep it on the drive though, quite a few people do.

My first 650 spider lived outside for 3 years with no issue - no way it would have fit in my garage, at least not unless I lived in it.

Current one also lives outside - it would actually fit in the garage where I am now but only if we moved some stuff and I can't really see any particular reason to bother.
