Just chiming in, financing really depends on your place. I think the US is currently in a struggle, i got an lease offer on a 1 y/o McLaren GT (6000km) sitting at 169k:
13k down, 1’500 month/48m at 0.9% interest.
McLarens HEAVILY depreciate here (central europe) and you can get into a pre-facelift 570s at 110k
Just reliability is a concern and with the R8 existing, theres little to justify a mclaren
All good points. Financing and leases is definitely a very country specific thing and you’re absolutely right I was discussing the US market. In other counties it could be an entirely different proposition.
McLaren now offers a 3 year maintenance and warranty included on all new cars which definitely helps ease the reliability fears for the first few years, but if going used I totally agree that the R8 is probably the single most reliable supercar. It’s too bad they stopped production, what an excellent machine. I hope you enjoy yours!
Indeed very country specific. I think its very interesting to discuss these finance topic openly to gather insight.
I like to keep my cars for a looong time and drive them a lot. I asked a McLaren Tech thats a buddy of a buddy of a buddy, apparently you can prolong the warranty up to 10 years at 4.5k per year.
Audi really hit a homerun with the R8, i got mine with 10 years free service (bought it slightly used) so this year was the last free one. So far the Car has been nothing but a great daily/weekendly companion. It currently sits at 160k km.
