APR was good, I was offered 3.9 as opposed to 9.9 on any other models by McLeeds.

Hatfield told me a £230k list car can be had for £200k with 3.9% Apr...lightly used ones at the £160k mark though. Great car for sure I enjoyed the one they leant me for 2 days.

I thought the APR on new cars was always much lower than second hand cars?

It usually is, but I thought this margin was a liitle higher than usual. At least that I had been offered before.

I really liked the superformed aluminium rear decklid, its all a bit busy now and 68kg heavier, not for me!

That's just a decent lunch out

I have to say I quite like the look of that spider.

It looks fab!

A bit off topic, but as some have mentioned on this thread, how do people seem to get these cars for the weekend? When I was looking at 911s they’d sit with you to drive around the block, some wouldn’t even let you test drive without a deposit. An extended test drive would really help to see if the car suited. And yes, I could afford the car

Interesting thread.

I am looking at Aston and McLaren. Visited MC dealer today. Loads of GT’s pre and unreg for £140-150k. But they are chucking the kitchen sink at Artura. Going to drive both Friday and I can have one for the weekend. Excited about both and feel they are motivated to get some March registrations…

Have a long standing relationship with my MCL dealer (and their Aston franchise before that) but only on the service side have never bought car from them. Had an Artura for a couple of days earlier this month while my car was being serviced...think they're super keen to shift them so that probably helped also. Great car but not for me right now.

Exactly. Known the dealer for years. They have also seen me drive many times on test drives. And they know I know just how fast a 720/750 will catch you out, even in the dry.

I cannot imagine for a second being allowed out even on a chaperoned test drive at Ferrari.

As a coupe owner I am biased, but I agree. Fussy, but is needed as it was a huge engineering challenge to move the airflow from the Chimney. The heat out of that is off the scale and they couldn't fold a roof onto it!

You also lose behind the headrest bag storage. Doesn't sound like much but that effectively cuts storage from 4 medium bags to 2. That is not other half friendly for a trip across Europe!

The power increase should deal with some of the very early reviews saying it was 'held back'.

Such good behaviour from the company to upgrade the early cars.

Need to remember this car is now only about 20BHP away from a 720. That is ridiculously good given this is next gen.

I suspect there will be a little hit in depreciation for the coupe but I am very happy with my choice.

I didn't get to drive the Artura when I visited the dealer. I tried to pack in too many things into one day! But since then the deals being sent to me appear to improve on a weekly basis.

2.9%APR . £220k spec'd Artura with £30k in 36/6000miles £1300 with GFV £135k

For nigh on 700bhp in an ultra modern machine, that seems amazing value. Just looking at same deposit on a 992 turbo with the same terms and it's £2k pcm.

Do I understand they have lifted the bhp since launch? Is 689bhp the new total?

I know I should understand this, but I don't. In simple terms, what does this mean the car will cost to own over 3 years and 18,000 miles?

A maxium of:

£30000+36*1300(£46800).

So £76,800 max is how I read it?

Or you could apply the same payment profile to a 570 or 650s and keep the car at the end of it!

That's what I worked it out to but I wasn't sure. Maybe my idea of 'amazing value' isn't the same!

£26k pa to finance a mclaren is not my idea of value either !
