I think someone posted on here the other day . . . he was recently offered a couple of these allocations. Maybe a smaller dealer in US can find you one. The way this market is acting. . .all of our toys / assets are headed lower / more availabe soon.

Also if anyone wants a 3RS I have a few consignment cars. I do like the 3RS but the mclaren has: better seats, more power, cooler paint colors and leases about the same as a Gt3RS.

4K for 600LT

Reliability issues, pre and post track mandatory inspections for the warranty combined with sparse dealer network and quick depreciation are killing McLarens for me. Plus not a fan of the design and funky controls. There's a reason when you go to your local track 80-90% of the cars are Porsches.

I’m fairly certain that Mclarens, especially LT models will become increasingly more common at track days. Remember - it’s only been around 7 years since the 12C started deliveries. Quite remarkable when you think about it.

Rumor has it that the 600LT won the 2018 Evo COTY. That’s two years in a row for McLaren. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

evo didn’t really have ECOTY last year; admitted as much on the website recently

That should be THE ONLY color scheme available on any McLaren. With at most an optional Marlboro lettering in the back.
LOL "McLaren Orange". Senna and Prost made McLaren what it is.

Why do people complain about depreciation values when more than likely they can’t even afford a depreciated 600lt let alone one at sticker. Stop talking about price and buy what you can afford. None of these cars are going up in value.

i had zero interest in the 600 lt. but the more I see it, the more I read about it, I’m intrigued. Not enough at this point to get rid of my 720 or 488 for one but maybe soon.

and CJ is a stand up guy. He answers his phone, returns texts. Was very helpful when I was buying my 720 and had some shopping delays that made me super frustrated.

dude sells Porsche, Mclaren, Audi, BMW. He is the EF Hutton of cars. When he speaks, people should listen.

Exactly. And weren’t people here encouraging CJ to get a Porsche dealership before he even had one?
