Hi there

So found a potential car, checked it out today and it’s in superb condition and absolutely stunning the spec is:

2020 600 LT Spider
Volcano Red
Carbon Louvre front wings
MSO Black Pack
Body colour roof
Diamond cut snow flake wheel design
Black calipers
PPF
P1 buckets with red stitching
Red stitching on dash and doors
12 speaker audio
Carbon and alcantera interior
Motorised steering adjustment column
AC, camera, sensors
MSO carbon sills
11,800 miles
1 previous owner


Owner offered it to me for £155,000 which I think is fair for an MSO car with good spec, I’m a little undecided on colour as only got to see it on a dull gloomy day. Can’t find anything to suggest it’s been remapped or messed with and brakes in good condition.




Perfect specification for me and just need to device if it’s the colour for me, never seen a 600LT before in Volcano Red.

So manufactures warranty until March 2023, I guess in Feb I take it to get extended warranty before the manufacturer warranty expires and they can then address anything under factory warranty and then put me a 1 or 2 year warranty on the car?

Does it have nose lift? Just it's one of the more significant options when it comes to resaleability.

Seems a fair price (pretty good price, but perhaps about right for a private sale).

I think Volcano Red is one of the more sought-after colours (have seen a few VR 650S/570S sell quickly), and would certainly be near the top of my list, but only you can decide if it's a colour you want, obviously.

Yes it had the lifter as I tested it to make sure it worked. smile

Thats a great spec and volcano red absolutely pops when its in the sunlight; the volcano colours are the best IMO.

I wouldn't hesitate or think about what the market may or may not do regards values, life is too short.

Looks like a F355 keeping it company; sign of an owner that is a real car guy.

Great it has lift, but I think I have used it twice in the last 16 months and the carbon front spoiler seems bigger and lower on the 675; maybe that's an optical illusion though.

Get it bought before someone else does!

Yes the owner like myself is a petrol head with a lovely collection. Forgot to mention it also had stuff like soft close, security pack, pretty much has everything it should have along with some nice MSO upgrades, it also has coloured roof which I prefer to the dark roof.

Judging by the age and mileage the owner is probably coming out of the cheap lease deal.

Have it checked out thoroughly before pulling the trigger.

The owner owns the car outright, he is second owner and had it a year. smile

I’m not really into McLarens but any time I see them at car meets it’s always the volcano red ones that stand out for me. That looks lovely.

Sorry when I saw 1 previous owner, I presumed that was him.

Looks a good price and the 600LT spider is the best car I have owned, just get an inspection for peace of mind.

Volcano colours look amazing in bright sunshine, but look a bit dull and uneven in any other light in my opinion.

Car looks lovely though and a nice spec. I have seen 600LT prices seem to be dropping at the moment, so given we are heading into winter if you are worried about values it may pay to wait a couple of months and see where they go before pulling the trigger.

The owner will need to transfer the warranty to you, in case you werent aware.

Looks like a great spec and price too, get it bought and make the most of it, you will love it.

its under manufacturers warranty as less than three years old, is that still necessary?
Not an issue as Mclaren Manchester have been hugely helpful, Ben there is amazing!

It probably wouldn't be my choice (the colour), but preferences aside, it does look very nice.

Sorry for the bump, but can I ask about your front / rear number plate.
Is that a particular make or brand to make that shape?

Lovely car by the way biggrin

Looks like a Four Dot plate to me

Road legal (because the regs specify the character size/font/spacing, not the shape of the plate) and pretty popular on Macs.
