    Re: something new ......

    ALDO:

    I think you have to be hard when buying when selling it is too late. I have received always huge discounts at the beginning.

    For a totally of 4 years with two McLaren 650s spider and 720s coupé I have lost in depreciation less than before with my 911 turbo cars. I don't lease. 

    Do you trade in your old ones to the dealer? If so, presumably you do them a favour there, and they are more comfortable discounting a new sale to you.

    Also curious about this - I’d love a McLaren but so far been scared off by the prospect of resale.

    Re: something new ......

    Drove the last days my old 720 coupé a lot. We had really good weather. Yesterday 21°C and today 4°C.

    Pirelli Corsa in 4°C rainy weather is more than tricky to drive. You have to be very carefully with 720 hp on the rear axle.

    Hope for better weather when the spider will be there.

    Congratulations Smiley. Very elegant Smiley.


    Re: something new ......

    Wonderful car; enjoy ! Hope that you'll get it registered in time and get a chance to drive it. Over here in Bavaria driving for fun is no longer possible.

    Better hope for an end of the curfew by then. Smiley

    Re: something new ......

    Awesome congrats


    Re: something new ......

    Congrats, beautiful car!

    You should hurry, German-wide „curfew“, similar to the one in Bavaria, is coming. If Bavarian infection numbers don’t drop substantially after two weeks, a full curfew is considered. German government may actually do this earlier if they take over “command” from the federal states. 👀 The government here is very very very worried about the latest North Italy death figures, just talked to a “friend”. Nurses in smaller emergency clinics are already prepared for moving to ICUs in larger hospitals, doctors with practices could be called to assist in hospitals, everyone here is preparing for a worst case scenario, police as well, army has also been put on (internal) alert to be able to assist when necessary (very delicate situation since German army is not permitted to do police work internally). They also started to increase numbers of ICU beds in army hospitals and bases, it isn‘t pretty but nobody here wants a situation similar to Italy.

    My Lambo dealer has closed, I barely was able to get the one year inspection and the wheels (winter to summer) changed. Not that I really drive around in the car now, it would be a provocation and I do not want to attract attention. Car traffic for most people is not permitted anyway, so I stick to my GLC, it is better this way.

    ... and for that we thank you.  Smiley  Just curious Aldo, as a second McLaren owner now, how do you see the brand?  Asking because many here seem quick to criticize the company with its rapid new model introduction, resale etc etc.

    I love the cars - they are so special compared to other super sports cars. Fast, quick and with infinite traction. 

    As I have mentioned before, I do not lease them. I trade. I try to get as much as possible discount when buying. The last 4 years I did have less costs than leasing a Porsche 911 turbo.

    The service costs a reasonable. The only thing is the extended guarantee, which is pretty high.

    You are aware that you get the same discount if you lease? 😉 If this works for you, why not. 😎

    Re: something new ......

    Car is finished - outside it shines so bright - it gets now a protection film, from XPEL Germany

    IMG_9721.jpegand on Monday registration (hopefully) - it is hard to register right now a car.

    In my city - you can only register a car if it is from a dealer from our city. In my case it is not - but we found a way - very stupid regulations right now.
