300k for 2000 miles

Apologies if a repost, but that's some kind of bath isn't it?
Sold for 580, must have been an 850ish car with mso options in 2018?

"The full factory specification is included below, and the car’s new list price was £794,635."

Sold for £605k with just 902 miles! That's a ferocious loss to just have something sitting in your garage, which isn't even that nice to look at.

Also, from the first ad, this struck me as a little odd. "During their ownership, the car has been enjoyed as intended, and while it has never seen the race track..."

I thought that's exactly what they were intended for!

Salesmen will be salesmen regardless of the industry.

£580k? £524k +£6k, no?

Noted this was Ascot - was this auctioned by the dealer? Forgive my naivety, but is that a thing? Or just coincidence

ETA: it does say private seller.

Eye watering loss. But it's probably but short change to folk who can afford and buy these cars new.

[supersport]

Not enjoyed at all would be a more apt description.

Looks similar to a certain youtubers Senna? Still strong money as 765 LT proving to be as quick and fun real world. Makes Senna look preposterous at £750k just on the performance metrics alone doubt owners care.

I bet some people bought them assuming they would follow P1, 675LT depreciation curves rather than MP4-12C or 720S.

Depends which way you look at depreciation in ££ s or percemtage loss relative to new cost.

Percentage wise of new cost its not bad over 3 years for an unpopular high end car even though in actua money lost terms it is huge.

Especially compared to the blue nice spec 2 year old 5k mile 720S Performance which sold last year on CC at c £130k which is half price and 50% depreciation.

A black 1 year old 2k mile 600 LT also sold on CC for similar money shortly after which depreciation wise was an even better bargain.
