That looks quite nice - is it me or is the 12C shape looking more "interesting" with the passage of time?

I saw that one on marque 1 too. They had it for sale for ages at 119900 and then axed the price by 10k..weird. Looks like the values are dropping a bit this past month or 2

[briang9]

Possibly worth a quick Google search for reviews of any dealer you might be considering buying from I would suggest.......

[SELON]

If they're the same car, the "new" ad includes sport exhaust and maybe other bits like CCBs. So may not be the same car (?) or if it is, it's had work done. I recall the marque1 car didn't advertise the sports exhaust. May be wrong. Just from memory.

Defintely looks like the same car, the other one had ccbs, don't think there's many with that spec and red leather..

I was watching this too. I am sure its the same car because I noticed it still had the road tax in it

[cronk-flakes]

Maybe the original dealer had it for a while, then sold it trade to the other dealer? It happens all the time, I don't see what the problem is here?

[Juno]

They are both serviced 3 times at exactly the same mileage and I doubt there are 2 with that colour combo interior. Yes I did notice the sports exhaust but would think that was just an omission in the first add

Could be wrong but I doubt either dealer owned it ?

SOLD Again Apparently, that's twice in one week, I must buy one soon appears they are on fire ?

[Davetherave95]

There's a nice looking white one on clinkard cars for £113995 http://www.clinkardcars.co.uk/cars/mclaren/495/mcl...
I think he just slashed the price by 10k!
I was tempted, not sure what the values are going to do with the new model coming out, I went for an R8 GT spider instead

[Juno]

I bought my 430 Spyder off Clinkard a few years back, Julien is a proper guy and all the cars advertised were there. The white one has aluminium dash so is a no go for me !

Sterling Performance do alot of SOR, perhaps they bought it as a dealership and thought it was worth more? Or another possibility is someone bought it wanted to have a play and decided to sell it again at a higher price hoping to break even on the basis someone make an offer below asking? Just guessing but its a possibility.

They do seem to hold their value just over the £100k mark though.
