    Haven’t posted here in a while, and last F car I had was a 458 Spider which I hate I sold. Been out cars for a while my wife and I traveled Europe for 3 years since I retired in 2021 at 52. Now we’re stable again, and I’m looking for a 2017 F12 to pair with my 2019 Porsche Speedster. Sold my 675LT and GT3RS due to lack of track days, and wanted to scale to 2 fun forever cars.

    I found this 2017 MSRP was 460k and now 297k with 11k miles. Anyone ever have eyes on this car info I need to know?

    post link or window sticker for options

    2017 was last year for those mine is a 2016 same color combo love it

    only issues i've had is corrosion rear vents taken care of by Ferrari, leather dash and rear shade peeling, lazy starting taken care of by lithium antigravity battery, window switch buttons breaking off.

    i also had a 458 spider loved it i bought a F430 spider to get back into top down driving and love the rawness of the F1 transmission.

    I don't have info on that F12 but I love the spec!

    Not to derail this thread but I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts/experience regarding your 675LT ownership. I've always loved that car but have never owned or driven one.

    Good luck with your search...and congrats on an early retirement!

    You can do better than 35% off in an F12 with 11k miles.

    Thanks, sorry it’s 7500 miles my bad, and the above poster I don’t have the window sticker. 460k big spec and also 2 year warranty. Les than 40 cars for sale and the average is around 35% off MSRP. The key is spec ….honestly mile don’t bother me an 7500 not too worried and again my bad on the 11k it was another cay I looked at which sold for 255k and was 35% off MSRP.

    Thanks sir, 675LT was a very good car no issues and it’s nasty fast and sub 3000 lbs. My old mechanic said the 675LT is and was one of the most reliable McLaren’s and the engine is bullet proof. It will get you arrested as it’s crazy fast, but turn radius is awful as it’s very track set up ……….1000 cars made and it’s carries the P1 engine which is a beast, and remember these cars spec’d well in 2016 had a 400k MSRP. Deal of the century if you got a good spec …..

    I’ve had my 675 spider for 5 years and it’s been very reliable. These cars are a steal at the prices they’re currently selling for.

    Great looking 675LT's guys!

    My ideal spec would be chicane gray with McLaren orange accents. Like you guys said, very special car with only 500 coupes and 500 convertibles.

    I'm on "the list" for the new ZR1 but if I can get a clean 675Lt for the same price then I will be very tempted to start searching for a 675LT.

    there is a leather section that is attached to the hatchback and also a flat divider that keeps the rear trunk hidden when looking thru glass. both parts are leather wrapped and heat causes them to peel away. it isn't like dashboard shrinking it just needs to be re glued back together.

    Picked up the F12, man amazing car and spec. Test drove the car and nothing but smiles and car will be shipped next week. Made the deal on a the plane flying from Rome, and two days later flew to DEN dealer picked me up and we hung out and had car talk. After two hours or so dropped me and my wife of at the hotel, and on a plane now back to FL. I’m beat and can’t wait to the car arrives.

    Truly looks amazing. Do you might sending a few pics of the rear carbon fiber diffusor and also how it has held up (any noticeable rock chips, discoloration, etc). I found a set of original CF side skirts that I am adding to mine and wanted to also source the rear CF diffusor, but hard to tell from the stock ferrari upgrade photos how it looks, and also how it has held up over time.
    thanks so much!

    Car arrives Friday and I will take some pics and send. When I saw in person car had zero blemishes, it was well cared for I’d say.

    How old is the PPF? Might be good to refresh it if more than 4 years.

    PPF, full front and not sure of age …….not concerned my 675LT PPF 7 years when I sold it and zero issues. My 2019 Speedster flawless on since 2019, only 2200 miles so not lots of exposure to the elements. I don’t like full PPF front takes the bulk of the beating …..it’s just a car little wear and tear is ok.

    Great car. You should be very happy. I don't like PPF on special paint either but required depending on use. It's not really an issue until you attempt removal though.

    that’s what I was alluding to - it’s when you pull off old PPF that it can pull off the clear coat if it has been too long.

    Arrived a day early. Shipper left DEN on Monday night and was to arrive late Tuesday or Friday. I get a call in my office in FL at 1300 and the driver is on your block in ATL‍♂️. Call my in-laws to open the garage and have them pack in the 3rd bay and I boom a flight and all good early Xmas. Was a cluster but when I got home I was like man cool car.
