Thoughts on this 650s?

Has a McLaren warranty until 02/24 apparently so was hoping I could get it inspected pre-sale and then the dealer sort out any issues on the warranty before I bought it. Is that allowable under the term of the warranty?

Don’t think it has lift which is disappointing but maybe not a huge problem in reality? Anything else missing that I should be considering?

If anyone knows the car then please get in touch.

Engine mounts and corrosion on brake pipes have been flagged (by McLaren) but not going to be covered under warranty. I thought McLaren warranty was bumper to bumper? Should these be covered?

I wouldn't buy one without nose lift. And I dare say it would be a real issue come resale time

I’ve really enjoyed your write ups on your ownership so value this input, thank you.

In the hope of not having this particular dream finished already, could the 650 offer better clearance than your 540 at all? Or is your comment based on experience with various models?

Cant imagine many 650S were ordered without lift TBH
looking at the photos particularly of the alloy wheel the hap between wheel arch and tyre suggests the lift is up in the picture as its huge gap

Fair enough. I haven’t specifically asked.

650 will cope with your average UK speed bump without the noselift, you'd need to be careful though.
However, if you tried dropping into your average French or Italian underground car park your going to scrape heavily.

Hey Brad. Thanks for this. Driving to France will be on the agenda for sure so will keep this in mind although I tend to avoid parking underground if possible.

Have really enjoyed reading about your European trips every year and have laughed and cried along with everyone else. Can’t wait for next year’s instalment in the 750.

The add says it has security pack, does that not include lift?

If so, running out of reasons to buy it…

Car looks solid in the pictures, but well worth checking out and definitely having the inspection redone.

I'm a current McLaren owner (570s) and this dealer is 5 miles away from me. I'd be happy to pop along with you if you wanted a second pair of eyes

Thanks - I’ll send you a pm

Ah - Seems you don’t accept messages.
