A 600LT owner that I know is going through a huge headache situation with his McLaren right now. They are blaming an oil leak on the fact that he installed an aftermarket exhaust on his car for like 100 miles. He returned it back to stock long before the oil leak occurred.
It seems the biggest problem with McLaren is their aftercare customer service. It seems they oftentimes try to look for obscure reasons to shift blame away from the product and onto the owners. I'm a McLaren owner currently, but it's unsettling to hear such stories more than I'd like.

It's Mclaren that is on the wrong they are the ones that have to offer some sort of compensation, even if it is from a costumer relations pov. An allocation for whatever mclaren, facilitate the acquisition of a Senna for sale, something but what they did.
But they don't know any better, they were cnts on f1, they were sleazy af with the price table and all the maintenance schedule of the mclaren f1, they are just being what they always were for a big part of their history.

Did you own one to be able to say that so definitively? Because if not it's complete BS imo.

I don't see myself owning a Mac anytime soon (never say never) but Im finding the 675LT more and more alluring, not even considering the price point compared to MSRP
They nailed the look down, and the performance/rawness of the car is supposedly wicked
Smart move to give it a day and see how you feel, looking forward to seeing which way you go. That's a nicely specced one by the looks of it

I have lots of F1 stories but the main issues have always been:
Michelin only makes tires every few years
Windshields are very hard to replace/source (delays, special coatings)
Brake pads get a lot of use (lol)
There is no perfect situation but if I paid 2M for a car and drove it 20k miles and it was now worth 15+ I'd probably roll with the punches. Just sayin.

0900 hours ... but who’s counting!?! Congrats.
I have a few friends with Macs ... some of them had a few issues with the electronics (720s) but it went away with some software update. I don’t know anyone with a horror story with his/her Mac. One day I would love to have one too. For me, personally, it caries a legendary aura (grew up watching F1 w Senna) ... plus, right now, they are certainly pushing the envelope in terms of performance and design... giving Ferrari a true run for their money! Enjoy your new toy in good health! Cheers!!!

For sure. I waited two days which was good, and had my buddy check out the car who has owned 6 MAC’s. The one he regrets selling is the 675, and now cleaning out the 458 Spider which I traded for my 2016 RS UV.
