Hi Guys,

I am a Porsche guy but and very tempted by the 720s.

Coupes have come down a lot in value and it seems that cars can be had in high 120s to 130s depending on mileage and spec which is great value unless a car is a McLemon. The spider however is still sitting in the 180s to 200s and I can't understand the disparity.

1) Does anyone know what used spiders are selling for now? Before looking seriously online I was expecting 20k to 30k above coupes. At 150k I would seriously consider buying.

2) Anyone know what trade value is on a nice spec 2019 spider?

3) Can anyone share some great deals out there and of prices are where they need to be yet, any thoughts on when a spider can likely be had in the 150 range?

If I can't find a spider I might just go for a fully loaded coupe well looked after coupe.

I am new to Mclaren so buying advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

Good to hear you are considering making that choice.

There are no high spec 2018 Coupes for under £140,000k and if you have that budget available. All on market for less are low base spec cars of circa £219,000 list while many Spiders were specced much higher.

A 2018 Coupe just sold for £155,000 and this is about right for a good car, with low miles and well specced

I picked up a new Spider from Manchester yesterday having done all the looking for a £130k coupe, having talked myself up from a 570s and 570s spider. I got a great deal at Manchester through Alex, and can't believe it is sat on my drive. These are hand built supercars that benefit in my view from a good warranty, there are other options such as Thorney but for me this was the chance to bag a new one .

BTW it is phenomenal , will be writing up a review today of the process.

Any chance you can share what deal they offered? Either on here or via DM. Looking to move into a 720S

Hi,

I have DM'd you regarding your deal. I'm relatively new to posting and DM'ing on here so I hope I've done it right and that you've received it.

Thanks in advance

The 720 Spider came out after the coupe, so there aren’t any as old as the cheapest coupe around.
