720s market chat

[Streetbeat]

Any views on the market, seems there is sudden influx of cars, jumped from high 40's to over 60 cars in just a few weeks, usual summer rush? There doesnt seem to be to much movement in stock shifting either.

Yep i noticed the 600lt stock has jumped too.

Anyone else out there looking for a 720s, be interested to hear your thoughts, ive viewed a couple, offered on both and literally had to chase a response, seems a bit crazy in this market that youre chasing offers made.

All depends how realistic the offers were

Personally i would say anything is realistic in this marke, if anyone is walking into a dealer offering full asking price they have more money than sense, one was cheeky to be fair but then substainly increased (chased both times), one less than 5% off asking. If you dont ask, you dont get.

Not just dealers but private sellers too, the 600LT market has had a couple of private sellers consistently pricing their cars higher than main dealers and stubbornly following the market downwards. Although one of those private sales is ironically owned by a dealer

Also some p*ss poor adverts from private sellers asking above dealer prices....I can't believe they have any interest in actually selling just chancing their arm at finding a "motivated" buyer.

Still doesnt seem like much is shifting and some very hopeful prices on cars, i.e 2017 car, near 20k miles at £140k.....

Be interesting to see what happens heading into autumn, there might well be some £100k cars but they will be leggy with base spec imo.

One thing is clear though, seems like owners have made good use of them with sensible mileages for the year, im pretty sure they wouldnt have those sorts of mileages and use if they were constantly breaking as non owners would have you believe.

[Streetbeat]

What are you looking for, coupe/spider any particular spec?

[Streetbeat]

A few spiders come to the market in the last week, usual I guess at this time of year.

[Streetbeat]

Theres one at £109 you could probably buy at £100k or less now but as Dave says, you probably wouldnt want it.......

A sub £100k will not represent the market, £125k upwads seems to be where the market is, average mileage and spec, maybe that will drop 5-10k over winter but im not sure it will stay there come spring next year.

[Streetbeat]

70 cars as of today with Autotrader, thats the most ive seen advertised for a long long time, nearly half of them are white/black or red, none of which im after

[Streetbeat]

25% of the market are white of whatever variation, 16% memphis red....doesn't seem there was much imagination when people were buying new...

If anyone knows any coming up for sale, drop me a pm.

Wh y is that of interest in a thread about the 720s market?

Unless the rules have changed, the official warranty isn't transferrable when sold through a dealer - although I suspect it's probably SOR and hence trying to work around that.

I don't usually care about number of owners, but 5 owners in 5 years seems a tad high?

The owner won that literally 2 weeks ago on one of those competitions, it's also local to me.

Being the 6 owner would put me off as Dave says, but maybe that's reflected in the price?

Interestingly in the Mc WhattsApp group he said he is keeping the car and not selling it

Maybe the reaisation of insurance/running costs and £130k in the bank has given him 2nd thoughts?

I guess anyone who does these comps doesnt "really" expect to win but when you do, a whole host of things you didnt consider suddenly became a reality in the cold light of day.

Well done him though, that must have been some morning waking up to that being delivered

[Streetbeat]

Why don't you call the dealer who it's for sale with.

Yes and it is oh so close to being perfect. No glass roof, 2nd choice of colour and I'd really like silver wheels but not a deal breaker as can be changed.

Have had stuff from Amari before and I like the guy and the cars they have in there are generally spot on.

I'm in no major rush, my 40th is next year so I'm happy to bide my time.

How you getting on, anything caught your eye?

[Streetbeat]

Enquired on another today being described as having a full service history, upon checking with Mclaren, it hasn't.

Do your due diligence before purchasing guys, don't take what you read as gospel.

this looks like another nice one

Yep it is, but strong money for a 2018, nearly 10k more than the Volcano Red one you posted. It's been for sale since July and I would suggest that grey isnt the most popular colour for a Mclaren.

They also have a white 600lt thats 8k more than pretty much the same car at a main dealer.
