So how much per yr for 675lt extended warranty? McLaren or aftermarket? How much to insure, maybe relative to a Porsche GT car?

just paid $6k for an extended warranty. $$$

This was last year (circa 2019).

$6,000.00 for 1 year & 11,499.00 for 2 years.

OEM. Not aftermarket.

My insurance is slightly more than my 2019 GT3S. If I recall correctly the one year extended warranty though McLaren is about $5,700 and the two year is about $9,800

I have never had a mechanical issue with either of my McLarens. In my view you simply need to 1) wait for base idle to be achieved before driving, 2) don't push the car before the oil is up to temp and 3) always keep the car on a tender if it will be unattended for more than a couple days.

I will say again that the 675LT spider driving experience is unfathomably good. I can't imagine enjoying driving a car more, at least not for under $1m

I paid about $9,400 for 2 years of coverage on my 675 LT spider 4 months ago .
There are 187 Ferrari 488 spiders and 13 675LT spiders currently on Autotrader for about the same money. That doesn’t make sense to me.

I'm considering moving back to the GT3 world. Currently have a 2016 570s with low miles with mild mods (full exhaust and forged wheels) for sale if anyone is interested in joining the dark side. I'm hoping to jump into an RS at some point later in the year.

How was your experience with the 570s?

Driving experience has been great. I had a 997gt3 and then moved to an 2017 R8 V10+. I never felt like the r8 connected with the road so I figure why not try McLaren. The 570 steering feels identical to the 997gt3. Amazing feedback. The acceleration is tremendous...especially once the turbos kick in. There is a slight turbo lag though but the 570 will definitely outrun a gt3 and most likely rs also. The car has been reliable too which I can count myself lucky. I only get 2 electrical errors from time to time which are sidemarker error and lights error. Both of which goes away after about 3 seconds. Apparently this is typical McLaren. The car is even better now since I've put on wider tires with the new wheels. Went from 225 front to 245 and 285 to 305 for the rear. Makes a world of difference.

It also gets a ton more attention than any car I've had before.

it was a toss up to me whether a liked my 570S or 2019 RS better. Basically amounted to whichever I was driving at the moment I would think I may like better. Now that I traded my 570 for a 675LT spider I can tell you without question I favor the 675 strongly over the RS

720s f/s or trade for GT2RS, south Florida

As an owner of a 675LT, I can say that this is still the best car I've ever owned. We can argue it's merits ad nauseum, but when it came out, people were wondering if McLaren could make a hard core, driver centric car (outside of the P1 of course) that could compete with the midengined Ferraris. Do they have issues? Yes. Reliability can be suspect (mine has only had an issue with excess charge draw from the door sensor and a bad thermostat). They are now slower than 720S around the track and in a straight line. But drive one vs a 720S and it becomes apparent which one is better. Akin to driving a 4.0RS vs a clearly faster 991.2 GT3. I'm just glad I got one from the start and could spec it my way.

We are actually up to 9 McLarens owned now with 4 currently in the garage. Recently traded the 720S Coupe for a 720S Spider.
