Car care plan are the OEM supplier for McLaren.

Based from some comments on this very thread I'm working on something that will genuinely be better than any of the other offerings and slightly cheaper as well.

Will have info out and launch done before the first ones come out of the 3 years.
Just to give you a target price, I've just bought 4 years extended warranty for my Alpine for £844...

Alpine and Porsche are two we wouldn't even bother quoting against. The Alpine one is crazy crazy cheap and the Porsche warranty is exceptional value .

For new owners a serious consideration, for those that bought the car when 5yrs was stated, most likely a legal battle

70% of cars sold by one dealer have paintwork problems? I thought from the defenders of the faith that the problems were way overblown and only a handful had any issues. Perhaps 70% is actually just a handful then!

Been very close to buying one but that thread on the Emira forum has cemented my doubts.

Lovely lovely car and just what I am after but whiff of 80's Maserati about some of that.

I appreciate threads are often unrepresentative and skewed to the negative and issues but the lack of support from HQ does not fill me with love.

Whilst I’m loving my time in my Evora 410, I still keep looking at an Emira.
Getting to realise I may shortly need a more easy driving weekend car, and I really do think the Emira is fantastic (save for the big screens and electronic handbrake).

But, I also really can’t now be arsed with any disruption to my life having to potentially be visiting a dealer as a regular occurrence.
I know, I may get a good one with no issues, but it’s probably not a chance I want to take anymore.
It’s a shame.

I visited a dealer in the midlands last September. In the walk around they gave me, they showed me two dozen plus boxes of doors sat awaiting fitment then paint to rectify the paint issues…

I dabbled with the idea of buying an Emira, but ended up buying an Evora 400 instead…

I saw my second Emira in the wild at the weekend, it was grey and to be honest the colour did it no favours at all, in fact being a little harsh it made it look pretty dull.

The other one I saw a couple of months ago was a vivid blue colour and it looked absolutely amazing.

So to my eyes at least it is a very colour sensitive car.

I agree - only seen two and whilst I’ve never wanted a blue car I saw one in the flesh and it looked amazing , it was enough to get me to put my money down on one.

Any car is colour sensitive when it's grey, I think. I mean, grey is simply a st colour for a car!

Been considering one for a while now, as I hastily sprint towards 50 getting my powerfully built company director 6'4" frame into the carbon seats of my Elise Sprint gets harder biggrin

Those pictures of the blue one are stunning.

Bloody hell. That happened quicker than I expected. Tremendous value at that. You'd be looking at a slightly ropey 15 year old Nissan GTR at that sort of money.

I think I am going to get one in the Autumn when my divorce is complete. One more summer with the MX5.

Whilst seeing auction prices is interesting, most buyers don’t have an option to buy from an auction. Even if they did,
the lack of comeback is again, a massive barrier.
You can’t buy ‘any’ Emira at sub £50k via a private seller nor dealer. You can post similar prices for 718 and 991.2. Not buyable for the public at that level.

What it actually sold for



With fees this is strong money especially for an old car. I wouldn't have paid that for a 72 with 10k on the clock. These cars still have great support from the trade quite clearly.

Trade prices across the board at all levels are truly insane atm for reference this nicer newer far lower miles Seneca Emira sold mid December 23 model with just 1.5k miles for £54k.

That yellow 72 plate had the engine management on too.

What is interesting is that 23 plate 9k mile 'ex management' Emiras (grade 1 and 2) were attracting just early £40k bids 12months back.
