720s Purchasing question

[MMarkM]

I've been lurking a while now and there have been a lot of interesting posts recently around 720s prices and I think I'm ready to to go for it. I'd appreciate any feedback on the cars below. Any feedback appreciated

Saw some positive posts about the dealership which is good. What I like about this car is 1 own and low mileage - although appears to be low spec

This car higher mileage but I love the colour combinations

Lastly this one, I'm not so keen on the interior but looks to be a good spec and a good price

I saw this one but discounted it due high mileage, interesting that other comments suggest low mileage may be more troublesome, is 22k not an issue for these cars?

thanks everyone, essentially we are saying the following
- aim for a 2019+ car rather than earlier
- 20k+ miles really isn't an issue
- check full service history
- check dealership history

Ok I like this one, spoke to the dealership, the car has no Mclaren Warranty and comes with the dealerships own 3 month warranty, does that ring alarm bells or a concern?

Cars retailed by non-franchised dealers (not SOR) cannot come with McLaren warranty, McL invalidate any remaining when it enters the trade.

If I were you I'd look at the car, then if good get it sent to V Engineering for a PPI, then if that's good go from there without a warranty. The dealer is legally obliged to stand behind the car for the first six months under CRA anyway.


If you feel you need a McWarranty to start your McLaren ownership with, then you probably want to be looking at franchised dealers mainly, plus potentially private sellers with a warranty currently on the car.

Thanks Sam that's a big help and not far from the seller so I could easily organise transport
