I absolutely love the 570S and already thought it was one of the best value cars on sale. Now I see the lowest priced car on AT has now breached £90k:

Now yes, it's done 34k, but surely with a car like this more miles is better than less. McLarens always work better when used and any niggles will surely have been worked out by now. Still got warranty and that can be extended too.

I just don't think I've seen anything better value or more exotic for £90k. Thoughts?

As a friend of mine who owns a Murcielago once said: "Doors go up, panties go down" hehe

I suppose the R8 V10 Plus might be a good shout at a similar price, but is it as special? I don't think so.

Yup was me that bought it.
Was looking for a good 12C and saw this at £90k as an approved car + 1 years Mac warranty and decided that although the mileage was up a bit it was good value. Bought it unseen at a decent level below the advertised price incl covered trailer delivery from Glasgow to near Bournemouth and it arrives on Saturday so just a tad excited.

Hopefully it will retain a good % of it's price over the next few years, I'll be only adding about 3-4k per year.
Wow, congratulations! Look forward to seeing some pics when it arrives!

You’re not reading what they’re writing. When you unlock with the fob, the system pushes the bonnet up to a fully open state.

However there is a primary and secondary latch that it opens in that instance. If the primary fails the secondary will still catch the bonnet when driving and air gets underneath.

You can test this yourself by going to your car and closing the bonnet gently. You’ll notice a first latch catches, then a second when pushed all the way down.
