Before recently acquiring a 650 Le Mans, it seems to that most lightly used coupes were 'asking' $220k plus or minus $10k.
I would guess that typically translates to an easy $100k below MSRP.
While that is asking price, I can only assume actual transactions are occurring at a fair amount less than asking.
That being said, I would guesstimate, a nice lightly used coupe could be had for maybe $200k +/-

So, despite DBKs dire warnings, you bit the bullet and bought it? Good man, I love the LM coupes!

I just couldn't resist. I just love the Le Mans looks and roof snorkel. I only hope its value doesn't follow the usual, albeit undeserved, McLaren downward trajectory.

Paid 97k under msrp. 300 miles.

For the 2015's I believe there was a deal for the dealers to buy the car from McLaren and recieve a large factory rebate (40k).

This would indicate the mark up is more than 60k if they are selling around 100k off and still making money.

Obviously this is just speculation.

I ordered my coupe for about 230k. It is low equipped but I got all necessary equipment. Had to decide between full option coupe for 245k or low option spider for 230k. I decided to order empty 650s rather than full 570s.

It seems easy to get a $325k msrp car to $265. After that, if the car has been sitting, dealer gets an option to "punch" the warranty card for another $30k rebate and more allocations from mclaren. Once the warranty is punched, the car goes into the new/used quagmire. Even the aurora blue coupe with 170k miles fell into this and that's how it sold nearly $100k off and it was full optioned, cf everything.

You can't get anything competitive within 100k of this unless you seriously consider a 458 or hurican competition for the 650s spider...I don't. At msrp, these cars or good deals. I honestly don't understand how mclaren is f'ing this up so badly, but I'm glad to have such a superb car for a great discount.

Nice work!

I guess I'm on the high side of things. I got 85k off a new spider. Heavily optioned and I chose it over a lower optioned better price car.

McLaren must be dumping these cars in the USA because the amazing deals and levels of discount being discussed here just isn't happening in the UK.


I managed to get a very good deal on a low mileage dealer demo 650S spider in the run up to Christmas and the best I could have hoped for on a new one built to my spec was about 10% of list.

2015's go for big discounts now because 2016 gives you 20k equipment for "free"...so the MSRP doesnt match 2015 to 2016....also, beware of 2016's with 2015 pricing..

Can you elaborate on the equipment that is included now?

I did a search and heres the option list. The MSRP went up and there are a few carbon fiber no cost options. In other words, there is no additional functional equipment included.

basically you get the CF for free after you buy the wheel lift, meridian and some other bits....

a car with 800 or 1000 miles is not really new...those cars are demos sold with a new warranty....hence the deep discount.

the dealer gets a huge incentive on the "in service demo"

Like I said, the 170 mile car was 95k+ off as well. Was it not new? I wanted VR and spider so suffered with the 800 mile used car that sure looked, felt and smelled new when I got it.

The 170 mile car car is Canadian and not eligible for a warranty ....you can buy any car in Canada for 30% discount but no warranty. So let's exclude it. (The car may also have been a demo).


When I was shopping for my car I went to see your VR spider.

Beautiful car and in new condition and would be titled as new.

However it does have demo miles and hence the extra deep discount.

I feel that the word demo shoukd be mentioned when describing a "new" car with 800 miles.

With that said....you got a great deal on a great car on a spec that you wanted...any compromise was small. Better to get the spec you want with 800 miles than a spec you don't want with 0 miles.

The car I'm talking about was in Long Island, not Canadian and had 34/36 months of full USA warranty remaining. I nearly bought the car...either that or they were lying about the warranty

Whatever... Not a new car...

There's no such thing as a new car then. ALL McLarens come with miles on them. Never seen one with zero.

I think the comment was more in response to the warranty.

New or not new…this whole '15 650S market is the most convoluted thing I've ever seen.

We have:
1. "New" untitled cars with minimal miles
2. "New" untitled dealer demo 2015 cars with "partial-new warranty" and a coupe thousand miles
3. "Used cars" with a couple thousand miles and in some cases more warranty than the "New" cars, often times listed for MORE than the "New cars" at the same dealer.

All of these cars seem to be listed for between $45-105k off MSRP and there is no order or sense to which category comes with a deeper discount.

My conclusion from all this: if you want a good deal on a '15 650S, you shouldn't be paying any more than $100k off original MSRP. At least on this given day.
