As with the gt3 if you change the exhaust it's just beautiful. 600lt just Mclaren being Mclaren! I agree theyre building some exciting cars. But after owning two Mclarens Ive been very disappointed with reliability, build quality and most of all customer service. There are most certainly growing pains but they seem to be figuring things out along the way. Spider I just took delivery of is noticeably better in many ways. The little details that you would notice when washing your car are much better. The only Porsche product that completes is the GT2RS, the 3RS is not in the ballpark of a 600LT. I know this from experience. Dont believe the hype in the magazines. 100K that simply does not exist today and you know this. At one point when the 12c's were on the lot and when the 650s were released it crushed the values but that hasn't been the case with the 570's and 720s as you know. Yes, you can get discounts on certain new inventory cars today but not anywhere close to what you are claiming. One of the most truthful post in this whole thread.
Have to keep in mind this is a Porsche forum. I am pointing to those who have complained vociferously with reoccurring major issues with their Macs. All you need to do is look above in this thread and you have people who have dropped the brand because of reliability issues. There is no doubt that there have been cars with issues but if you have been around these types of cars you know every mnfr has gone through certain challenges. Porsche and Lambo IMO happen to be the best at this level. You point to 38 noted issues resulting in recalls for GT3s. 3800 GT threes worldwide . That number is very conservative but lets go with it . Thats .01%. Pretty damn good ratio in my book . Your numbers are way off but regardless I know Porsche had major engine problems in 14 and 15 not to mention many other issues along the way. However I also know Porsche has done a great job taking care of customers and this is where McLaren needs to step their game of.
No actually I dont know how to research the recall issues with vehicles but apparently there are those here who do know how. I would like to actually see how many recalls there have been on Macs of various models. People running from the brand have nothing to do with being able to research the issues with NHSTA. Yes youcan apparently knows how to research this information and Im sure he could just as easily post the information as to McLaren . But he hasnt. Why? Why do you care so much? You are obviously never going to own one. Stick with Porsche, they have never had any issues and you can buy them for 1/2. Thats probably best for you based on your posts. Also, I recommend you reference your personal experience vs. We all know that many join and post to complain, you rarely get the random positive posts.
I think CJs post above is pretty telling . As I noted from my reading it seems to be pot luck as to whether you get a good one or bad one . 300,000 into a car. Kindly read my response above. As far as resale goesYoure comparing 911s ,Panameras and Cayennes to GT car resales? No, please reread my post. You lost 10% RETAILING your 720 after 18 months? First, Most trade in. Moreover, Ive heard Macs are very tough to retail yourself. Did you buy it new or used? Your must be quite the salesman. This is retail. This is a 25% plummet in 1 year. 250k. Thats a 30% drop in one year. Dont hate me. Those are the facts. Please show me where any Porsche GT car augers itself into the ground like that on resale. Take your time and look far and wide and see what you find. There you go again speaking without any personal experience and very limited knowledge. My car was sold for me by my dealer but yes I am an incredible salesmen. If you cannot afford or stomach it just buy 2-3 year old models. For some, like me the enjoyment is worth it. I have 19' GT3 Manual which is super fun to drive but my new 720 Spider is on another level in every way and that's from personal experience, not what I read on a forum. Moreover the buying experience with the Mclaren dealer was so much more professional and enjoyable vs. There are most certainly growing pains but they seem to be figuring things out along the way.
