    There is no "ladder" to move up at McLaren IMO. Someone even just posted that the 600LT is easy to come by. 720LT will be as well IMO. McLaren needs to/wants to sell cars. None will be hard to get IMO except the super rare, multi-million dollar ones.

    Issue is I have another car I was going to trade in and now I need to sell it privately.

    Just the hassle of it all...

    Agreed that is a big hassle. Is it your 488? You’ll get a better price on the open market than on trade.

    No. Keeping the 488. It’s a gt3 rs.

    Found a used 2018 720 private seller. Pretty close to options I would want. 30k difference new vs used. But I get car now. But have to sell my other car first.

    If I wait I get brand new pay 30k more and have no trade in hassle.

    Nope, waiting for hybrid and EV supercars. Not really interested in old tech exotics anymore. Won't even be buying any new normal cars until they are EVs.

    So not going to add anything to the garage for 3-4 years? Great. Looking forward to your valuable insight on cars till then.

    No exotics probably. Audi Etron looks interesting. Going to be a lot of EVs in the next year or two. Hybrid mid-engine Ferrari will debut next year, so not that long of a wait.

    And yet you will certainly wont hesitate to offer your very passionate opinion on exotics despite the fact that you dont own one, have no plans to buy one now or anytime in the future.

    cool.

    Read the manual... break-in is only 750 miles which is interesting, and no launches, but the funniest part is it says you're good for brisk accelerations and running it to 150MPH while in break-in period. :D

    I have a tradition of buying a 1/18 scale model of every sports car I buy and displaying it on my bar. Has to be my color and as close to my spec as possible.

    Have not been able to find a source for Papaya Spark scale models. Anyone have a source they can direct me to?

    Well done! Buying used is always better. Got my 570, specced the way I would have ordered it, minimal miles for 25% off.

    btw.... Papaya Spark is McLaren Orange w/pearl. Great color.
