Looks to have a cracking spec. Miles not too high. It’s an earlier 650 but I don’t imagine that’s an issue?

Were there any updates to post 2014 650’s that this one wouldn’t have? Did they constantly evolve or did the older cars get upgrades like the 12C’s did?

He is a great guy. I’ve not bought from him before (nearly did a couple of years ago) but have a few friends who’ve highly rated him.

I wasn’t going to go for a McLaren due to dealers not being anywhere near me, but now I see that they’ve opened with Grange in Hatfield, I’m in!

Main concern is with the age. Does this car being a 2014 make it less desirable than a 2016 car?

If it were a Ford Fiesta or BMW M5, two years difference in age would make quite a difference, but prices of these cars don’t seem to be affected by ages. It seems more about spec and mileage.

Is it yours? biggrin



By the time Alastair called me back, I was 5th in the queue to see it, so I’m not expecting to be told it’s still available to buy, sadly.

I’ll have to wait for the next one.

If you can only renew the warranty for up to 12 years, surely the cars age is very important?

I’d say this one was “cheap” because it’s a 2014 car. If it was a 2016 car it’d have been £105k+.
