Potentially adding a 720 to my garage

My sales guy says that napier green is probably the toughest color for resale.

The telemetry cameras can also be used as a dashcam. I haven't tried it but I saw brooks from dragtimes showing him streaming a movie from inside the car. Not sure if the internal drive has to be part of the telemetry to do it. From a resale point of view, I'd say that it is important.

Just about everyone has a sports exhaust. Sports or non sports exhaust; you won't hear much of a difference inside the car. Outside it is noticeably different. The sound really changes when you are full throttle but sports exhaust sounds decent outside the car as you are moving up the rev range. Another thing that is imporant on re-sale.

And yes; it is difficult when you spec a car versus just getting one off the showroom floor.

My opinion only; if you don't care about moving up the ladder and getting up the line for say the 750 LT or other in demand models... then go the used route. (based on your postings about buying cars that are two years old). If you want to reserve the right to get the in demand models in the future then you gotta go new and from your local dealer. (or get them to get you one from a different dealer).

 

Papaya Spark is my favorite stand out color for the 720S. Amethyst black is favorite for the dark palate and glacier white is probably best light color and safest for resale.

 

Why dont you speca new car and LEASE it.....this way you pay for what you owned and not worry about resale.
It works for me.
Good luck either way.
I went for paint over carbon as in New York everything gets bumped or broken from potholes to high speed bumps.
Good luck.

 

I'd be cautious of the CF interior options (esp on the 7xxLT when it comes around). While I like the look (I have all CF on my LT), its rattles and vibrates like hell. All those tiny overlapping pieces, vibrating with every RPM... I've resigned to accept it as 'character', but it still annoying character

 

Did you get a delivery date?

 

Great, now enjoy it!Try to blow it up! and then move on to the next!
P.S. YOU WONT BLOW IT UP....
gtjoey1314 Enjoy!

 

Papaya Spark is beautiful, very nice choice. Congratulations.

 

Agreed it really stands out.

Papaya Spark was what I was going to do when I was leaning towards doing a new 720. It is Mac Orange with a pearl metallic. I know of one that was available a few weeks ago.

When you are adding CF, I think the smart thing to do is to not put it on anything down low (rear diffuser, front splitter, etc). The reason being, in the real world, THOSE are the areas that WILL get rubbed.... and they are pricey!

I ended up getting a 570S w/a track pack in Mac Orange with extremely low miles for a great price. Previous owner specced it with just the right amount of CF, with none down low. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

All the weight savings comes from the ultra light wheels and bucket seats which you can easily spec for your non track pack 720S. The bucket seats save like 30+ pounds I think.

 

Pre-owned is a good way to go, you can always order a new one if you want.

 

Plus you can be driving it soon.

 

No downside to buying used. You’ll save money and get to use the car quicker. Go for it. I always prefer to buy some cars used unless there is some incentive for me not to.
