650s spider (very low miles, high spec, immac)
570 spider (new, ok spec)
570 coupe (new, very high spec)

or push it to £170k-180k

720s
657 coupe (maybe a bit more money needed)
600 (maybe a bit more)

Lots of choices, all great cars.

The OP didn't ask your opinion depreciation..........if you knew the OP, you'd know his history with the brand........I'm sure if he'd needed his thread derailing into another about depreciation, he would have PM'd TP321 and asked him to post up..............
Lol, surprised it went as long as it did!

Surprised at a suggestion of a new one though, I assumed that the adage of buy a Mclaren second hand is well received.

I'm looking for a 720s but at £150k, had a few close but not yet, I will wait smile

Soft close doors was an issue with a batch, we retro fitted some to a few 12c's and some of them failed and had to be replaced, mainly affected 570's and 720's.

Windows dropping is a battery warning software issue, was sorted by a software update.

The cars are getting better, there is no doubt of that.

We've not replaced a gearbox for months.

Hit and miss though. My 650S had it and it was supposed to be sorted by an update. My 720S had it 2 years later and now I have a 6 month old 570 Spider that has it. They keep saying it's fixed but it keeps coming back.
Will be a new door module then, we have a 650 here with it now, needs a new one.
