McLaren seems to be throwing out product with no regard for resale value. They overproduce, have super short product life cycles (around 3 years), and they don't manage quality. The net effect is massive depreciation which they themselves are actively stoking. ColdList has given them feedback that their product release pattern is screwing their customers but they don't seem to listen. I would never buy a McLaren unless they change their approach, cut production, increase warranty duration and basically behave more like Ferrari.

This net effect actually benefits 2nd and tertiary buyers (owners) who understand the market. I see that McLaren has adjusted their 675LT production and the demand and supply appear to be holding. If you throw all this out, which is very hard to do based on the monies spent, the McLarens out perform their competitors (similar classes). The 570S is a great option vs the Turbo S and the Audi V10+ and that car has done much better than the overpriced 12c and 650S yet only falls slightly short in performance (650S).
I would consider one for the driving experience but it would have to be economically wise because of their history with production and pricing.
