reliability - now they have been around a while

[bordseye]

how does the reliability of McLaren compare with other supercars? what would be a sensible annual budget for repairs and service on either a 12C or 540?

I think there have been a sufficient number of threads that suggest :

1) It's probably a good idea to get a warranty (which will save you from unexpected big bills but does add to the annual running cost a tad)

2) McLaren can sell cars faster than they can fix them, so if something goes wrong - perhaps depending on where you are in the country - it might take a while to get it fixed

3) Depreciation is likely to cost you more than fixing things that break

Thanks. Depreciation does seem to be worse than Ferrari, initially at least.

What are the "rules of the game" with McLaren guarantees, and franchised / non franchised dealers?
