I have been offered a SLS with £30,000 options for £170k and the dealer predicts £80k depreciation in two years. Plus V12 Astons new with £30k discount.
The market is on it's knees.

How long has the Ferrari FF been out??? Ive heard of a £56k discount off a new one!!!I have been offered a SLS with £30,000 options for £170k and the dealer predicts £80k depreciation in two years. Plus V12 Astons new with £30k discount.

Thats a bit more glass half full than glass half empty Bruce,i think your impending trip is affecting your judgement !! Crap for everyone,enjoy your Holiday,drive safeHere I am as expected- these are mostly V12 usually bad news regardless of manufacturer.
Ron said the car ,service and experience would be the best in the market refering to a v8. Depreciation is a painful experience and a site worse than Ferrari. So aim for the best not the worst.
reality is if you need a check for a 12c today you would get no more than 140k (if that) on a car that with options cost circa 190k. Savage and not on line with Rons commitment.
Only time will really tell (how much time is a question) my bet is they will strengthen

My sticker on the V12V was 195K. I have had it for about 2 years and the number I could expect is about 165-170. That's about 20-25%. I would assume that the 12C will go down around 10%/year in line with other special brands. It really becomes about the number of cars that are available. Ferrari limited their cars and had few models to choose from. Now with 4-5 and a dilution, even they are seeing a drift in re-sale values. Every time a company produces a four door or an SUV with their badge, they get perfusion in to the housewife market and family car circle, you see their numbers go crazy. At the same time the utter number of their cars available in the used market expands and they seem more attainable and thus the trades go down and the values with them. I think that the age of the model or version has a lot to do with it also. The Gallardo is 10 years old and they have made well over 10,000 cars. That's staggering. If Mclaren keeps the number of models modest and avoids the 4-door submarine, I think that they will keep value. If they continue to offer improvements to previous owners, they will also keep better value.
+1, I am sure McLaren will figure it out. The learning curve is always a bit painful and you can''t forget that McLaren is basically completely new to the consumer market. In terms of past experience, the F1 really doesn't count as it was made in such small numbers and people forget that McLaren did have trouble moving all of the F1s originally.I
People want what they cant have.
I think as Mclaren figure out the "real" market demand they will have a better picture and build & supply accordingly and values will hold and maybe even come back a little positive, .
