720s spider discount off new car ?

[rich1231]

I would really like a 720s Spider. I notice there are loads of unregisterd cars with massive specs around. What's sort of discount should I expect ?

The short answer is 'probably not enough'

With values at 2 years old likely to be £100k behind new list, it might be much better to go down the PCP route.

There were some sensible fininace deals floating around a couple of months ago, that capped 2 year ownership at £40k (600lt).

Was offered £45k recently and the same against a 600lt Spyder.

PCP's for 720S spider aren't capped at £40K - more like £80K. A lot of money for 2 years/12000 miles. but as I said in an earlier thread, that is still less (PCP-wise) than Mclaren offer on nearly new ones retailing at £220K-ish.
I think the only way to look at these is to buy nearly new and intend to keep forever. Then they are very cheap for the level of performance.

Really? On a 720S spider? I'd go for that if I was offered it but have tried 3 dealers and none would get near that. £45K in for a near £300K car is amazing value - equates to 15% depreciation over 2 years!!

Manchester were offering £55k off 720s spiders the other week.

I read it as £45k discount off list , not a total to pay for a PCP a for two years.

You may want to read it again ...

Is it a secret then? Please share!

[ferdi p]

I'll take a guess..... 230k

Not sure I'd answer. This is PH - even if you paid £1.50, you'll get told you paid too much and they could have got it for free with a holiday home in the Bahamas thrown in!

This, it's not a secret society for god's sake!.

Wasn't trying to be secretive. I was buying another car at same time from the dealer group so I wasn't just negotiating on one vehicle.
