VBUGKING Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Anyone know what the real market values are for the new Mclaren? I am considering picking one up if I can find a good deal. Prices are all over the map, and I have seen everything that is online, but asking prices mean nothing. From what I can gather so far, wholesale prices seem to be at least 50k off MSRP.

djantlive Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Its definitely under msrp. 50k seems a lot, maybe a highly optioned one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted October 15, 2012 I think they are dropping fast. Many unsold new units sitting around.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaginBull Report post Posted October 15, 2012 50k off is current. I would want 60 off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBUGKING Report post Posted October 15, 2012 I think they are dropping fast. Many unsold new units sitting around.. Yeah thats what Im hearing. And with the convertible coming out, a lot of people will be trading out of their coupes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaginBull Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Yeah thats what Im hearing. And with the convertible coming out, a lot of people will be trading out of their coupes. For comfortable and insanely fast it is the best I have driven. There is a new orange MP4 around the corner from me now. I haven't met the owner, but it looks great at traffic lights and passing by.

VBUGKING Report post Posted October 15, 2012 50k off is current. I would want 60 off. Thanks for the insight. I was thinking the same thing. I believe its a great car, but it may be one of those cars I end up getting and wanting to get out of after a few months, so I have to buy it right.

White would be my 3rd choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to find out the color of the new local car and get a pic for you. It looks stunning. I was surprised by how much presence it has. Looks-wise, it impressed more a lot more than my friends in Florida that I drove. The drive seems right up your alley. It feels a lot faster than the 458 to me, and I drove it without the new hp increase. Great car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_chaos Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Find one that is eligible for the MY13 power upgrade (should be available at the end of this month) and then haggle like a bastard as values are plummeting come the first quarter as that is when deliveries of the spider will be hitting their stride. As well as the power upgrade check the car has the latest updates for doors and nav software. Faster than an Aventador, Rolls Royce ride and the daily usage qualities of a 911 turbo. If I had the money I would be sitting in one as I think it is the best car in the market place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_74 Report post Posted October 15, 2012 I see a gray one with orange break calipers parked in downtown NYC quite often. I have to say, it really evokes all the passion of a potted plant. Sorry, but that's just my take. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assman Report post Posted October 15, 2012 You certainly wouldn't want to keep one long. First of all you never keep anything too long, but also they are going to keep a downward slide. They keep making more and are improving them as they make the newer ones. It's like the Gallardo...04 they had a car, 05 they did some improvements, 06 they did major improvements.

LPDADDY Report post Posted October 16, 2012 I would hold off for the right deal. I have a friend who bought a coupe and would like a cab and dealer told him it would be an 80k difference. Wait and hard ball. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait and hard ball. That is rough. And everyone's talking about how gingerly the McLaren dealerships have been treating them. I wonder if the attitude will change if there is a demand for a model like there maybe for the Spyder MP4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought the coupe 2 months ago and at the time the dealer told him the cab is at least 6 months away. Goes to show you, you can't trust any of the dealer's word. They want to move cars .

PCJR Report post Posted October 16, 2012 Philly dealer here has a pretty good selection. Call and ask for Richard and I'm sure he will do what ever possible to get you into a car. They had a new Silver/Blk, red calipers & ccb's on the floor which looked really good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SV-N-IT Report post Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it. Do you know how much more the Spider's MSRP is compared to his Coupe? about 30k depending on options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovik Report post Posted October 16, 2012 Such an awesome car that is mostly appealing to the car enthusiasts vs those after status/image etc... Hopefully these heavy discounts don't ruin the brand much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilligan740 Report post Posted October 16, 2012 Spotted a white one with black wheels in Columbus over the weekend and loved it! Saw the convertible at Pebble Beach, probably worth a wait but not $80k more! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
