Re: McLaren on a winning streak
noone1:SciFrog:If the car was selling well you could not buy an almost new one for 50k less than MSRP... Economics 101...
Not true. You can have very good sales but abundant supply. If there is plentiful supply and new cars can be ordered and delivered relatively quickly, used cars need significant discount to make them worth buying, especially if you live someplace with a snowy season.
$200K+ cars depreciate a lot. It's just the nature of them.
Huracan is a good example. Tons of demand, good reviews, great car, but every dealer had tons of them and there was never much difficulty in getting allocation with reasonable delivery time. Huracan was $50K under MSRP very quickly.
Surprisingly, it goes faster to get a Ferrari 488 GTB than a Lamborghini Huracan in Germany. Coupes. Spiders are a different story, both are hard to get right now. Depreciation is also smaller on the Huracan and but delivery times are a bit shorter than for the R8 (if you order a custom car) over here. Discounts are also worse on the Huracan compared to the R8.
