A Tad Optimistic ?

Surely they are havin a giraffe with the pricing of this "Limited Edition"

I don't even like the spec TBH and maybe it appeals to the US market more. I like the MSO front wheel arch vents and rear diffuser but The wheels, exhaust tips and interior air vent housings all look tacky after market.
At least the Le Mans edition looked good and I certainly wouldn't pay £100k more again over the Le Mans and twice the price of a regular 650S spider for this car.
Has the world gone crazy or is it just me ?!

Trade bids are not... Without meaning to give the game away I know of a car up for around the £175ish mark that was bought in for £155k and this was the highest bid he had!!
Dealers are stealers. Of course they always will find a desperate seller looking to realise some cash. P/x deals are stronger and I said prices will rise in 2017RamboLambo said:

That's only 11% margin on the selling price.......( assuming they don't have add warranty or service, which could take a big chunk out of that).Saying that not sure why in this case seller didn't sell it private for £159,999 - would still made it one of the cheapest

Ugh?? They provide a service. If you don't want to use their service, don't.
I agree. Personally I wouldn't of accepted £20k behind retail but likewise don't expect dealers to do it for nothing.Ugh?? They provide a service. If you don't want to use their service, don't.
It would of been far better to go SOR route or sell privately if you wanted a better return but I guess the seller wanted to liquidate his assets quickly and the dealer has taken full advantage of it to build in a good margin for resale.
Also at this time of year they would of built in extra stock holding time to the bid as realistically they wouldn't expect the market to pick up until Spring so the seller would of probably got the same money if not more for it in March

He has a multiple car collection and was upgrading this to a 675LT so could have traded it in with the dealership when he collected his new car.
if they wanted it that is which they did not and was the same story with most mcclaren outfits.

Not that surprising giving its a spider in the middle of winter with dealers already stocked up after production run out. Dealer would have to sell the car low ( hence current prices ) to move it on quickly or be prepared to stock it for best part of 6 months. TBH if he could afford to fund it, which it sounds its likely, he could of been better sitting on it himself until trading it in the spring but then I guess £10 or £15k more might not be worth his hassle.He has a multiple car collection and was upgrading this to a 675LT so could have traded it in with the dealership when he collected his new car.

A Lamborghini or Ferrari price would be no different at this time of year.
I stole a Lamborghini Performante at Retail prices back in November 2013 as dealer wanted out quick and its worth more today than what I paid for it so I hate to think what trade bid the 1st owner got on it. It would of been circa £90k off list after 10 months

Everythings worth more today than it was in late 13.A Lamborghini or Ferrari price would be no different at this time of year.

And with reference to Lamborghini's and Ferrari's trade bid wise at this level will have around £15k in it be it spring summer or winter and thats talking from experience.
SOR is still around 7-10 margin wise.
The Mclaren fares slightly worse than this and im only guessing thats down to depreciation on the previous model.
I genuinely have no axe to grind here as i'm talking as a future owner but I think your very optimistic with your predictions.
I say by summer these will be around the £165 mark.
