I have a friend who is about to pull the trigger on a 720S Spider.

Does anyone know of any for sale which are very good deals at the moment? He has been to the local dealer and happy with the sticker price but I imagine with the current environment there must be some good deals for those with contacts?

Thanks

So many different views on this recently, some bargains to be had, some sticking firm on price. Think it all depends on the specific car/deal - only way to find out if they're any deals is to ask - they can only say no.

On the 720S, posts on this forum have suggested to go for the more recent version indicated by the white McLaren logo on the back grill. The early 2017 ones have a red logo and are known to be prone to more niggles although a software update will help.

Good luck with your friend's search - get some photos up and keep us updated on progress.

They didn't produce the spider until 2019 so there won't be any red logoed ones I think ?

Also the red logo cars include 2018 cars, i'd go with the build number which is at the end of the VIN, over number 2000 means they got plenty of practice building them. Mine is 2155 and has been pretty well behaved.
