McLaren 600LT

[BavarianBeast]

Yeah, I'm waiting to hear back for a quote. guessing well over $80k in options - there's just so many good ones... Has to be a Spyder too I guess. Spec'd out:

I have a garage you can start storing these in, although you have to leave the keys

IF he leaves the keys, I won't even charge storage....

$80K+ in options sounds about right for McLaren, Freight & PDI already over $10K, the Senna seat is probably $20K alone, plus $30K in carbon, $25K on some "should have" options, $10-20K in paint/colour/stitching .. $100K in options is easy .. same as Ferrari ..

I'd take a 720 over a 600lt.

I haven't driven the 720 but know people who have. It's a unique experience...a bit more comfortable, and bonkers fast.

I've driven 570s, and it is hardcore enough for me. But the 600LT is awesome and getting one is def not a mistake of any kind. But sitting in and around the 720 it feels more supercar than the 570/600 platform.

[BavarianBeast]

So $298,000 + $54,000 in options for 600LT spyder. Thinking about pulling the trigger but knowing that the 600Lt spider is not a limited run has me concerned on resale value in the future. They have one 600LT in black with full options at $380,000 that was a canceled order, but black sucks and no need for half the options. Wonder if an SVJ would be a better buy.. first world problems I tell ya

[Buster]

You're going to get murdered by depreciation on that. Those cars are for the ultra bank people that don't care.

[BavarianBeast]

Maybe. 2016 675LT are still selling for msrp 3 years later with 20,000km+ on them.

Arent SVJ's over $700K?

[BavarianBeast]

Yeah they are. Can get an allocation with a $50k deposit down.

Trying to see it from an investment/enjoyment standpoint. I know I’ll likely lose money either way, but if I can drive the car for a couple years and only lose 10% on it, it’s a win in my books.

Based on the number being made I feel like the SVJ63 is the better investment (if you can get allocation). I think they are making about 900 coupes and 900 Roadsters nearly double of the SV. Maybe the SV is the way to go, if you can snag for the right price

Ya, depends on if you think you can compare them...I dont think you can. I think the 675LT prices are still high, but have come way down?


Canadian market is fucked for Mclaren tho.

Ha! Correction - The McLaren dealers are still asking close to MSRP for 3 year old 675LTs.

Buyers at this level are savvy enough to look around... No one in Canada is paying anywhere near MSRP for a 2016 675LT when it's clear as day that the same car in the US is selling for ~65% of MSRP, forex and everything else be damned.

Interestingly, the lightly used 720S prices are far more reasonable, relative to other markets...

[Buster]

Ya,t he used market in for late model Mclarens in Canada is hilarious. It (literally) consists of dealer controlled cars sitting at unrealistic asking price for YEARS. No one knows what the real used market is for Macs in Canada because they are almost completely il-liquid.

Get into the Porsche world.
RS car or CGT.

It's too bad because the 600LT seems like a very compelling package... Like the first "God, should I?" McLaren I can think of.

I've always said, it's not so much the price getting in... It's what you can get when it's time to get out. That's the catch with the McLarens...

I dont mind taking a depreciation hit....it's to be expected. I just want to be able to estimate it within reason. The problem right now with Mac in Canada is I know NO IDEA. If I were to go buy a 570s from Pfaff for anywhere close to their asking price, I'm pretty sure the immediate realized depreciation would be enormous. That is, the actual next marginal buyer out there is not willing to pay anywhere close to their asking prices. You're a bag holder. I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a 570s this summer after a test drive...but I just didn't have the stomach.
