I break down the cost of owning a McLaren 720S for 18 Months. I also go over my opinion of the car and the a brief breakdown on how I am able to afford to spend this on a car.
That’s awesome. I like to use vision boards for stuff like that. Make it the background on your phone this will constantly remind you why you are working so hard on those tough days. Also remember at work that your pay reflects the job you do. Never be the person that thinks “I would do that if they payed me more” do the extra things and prove your value the money will come.
I can relate, though, I don't plan on selling my McLaren. ( I don't drive a 720, just an "entry level" sports series.) My Bentley Continental GT is a car I can drive more often and generally do. But it makes going out in my 570GT more of an event. I need to look at Aston again, especially since they now have beastly and reliable AMG running gear. Great vid. Just now discovered your channel. SUBBED.
I've been renting for a long time and think I am very close to buying my first exotic. The 720s it at the top of my list for the reasons you mentioned. Also considering the Huracan EVO. Great video man!
Down in Nashville for the btc conference a month ago i seen this exact spec 720s, 3 huracans, an Audi r8 v10 wrapped as a police car, and a doge coin wrapped cybertruck all lined back to back. My first time seeing a 720s. incredible car!
Great video and appreciate the information on looking up the days in service. Sounds like you have had a great journey to the fruits of your labor. Immense respect and definitely enjoying your candid feedback in your videos.
Hi ! I’m considering between a 2020 720s and a Huracan Evo? In all honesty, which car would you recommend? I’ve seen a 2015 huracan doing over 80k miles but not on a 720s yet.
For me it would have to be the 720. I don’t fit in the Evo. That aside I think it boils down to which one do you like more and how long do you plan to keep it? Long term I would say the Evo, short term probably the 720.

It’s closer than you think. I made a video recently talking about how I’m going to buy a Senna. Check it out I breakdown how I use rewards to build my goals and path to achieving it.
@Sakaaruser22 I want one eventually. I haven’t been watching the market in them recently. The last I looked I felt like they still were going to drop in price.
Thank u so much man ,this has been my dream car since it launched , im only 15 but im looking to purchase a used 720s by the time im 20 , Im gonna start working when i turn 16 , i'll let u know when i get it
Awesome it’s an absolutely amazing car. Great choice for a dream car. Put pictures of them around to remind yourself why you are working and saving to help stop those impulse purchases.
wow... i recall back in 2019, these things were down to like $180/190k on the 2nd hand market, while still quite knew. I guess the post covid bubble really pushed these back up. Nearly $300k including finance is a lot more than expected. 720s is a hypercar killer in terms of performance, but if you're not into tracking and drag racing, nobody needs that kind of performance for the road. In fact, less powerful cars are more fun, cuz you can actually step on it, and play with the car. I think the Vantage is a beautiful sports car.
McLarens are the toughest cars for me to figure out why they go up and down in price it doesn’t make sense to me. The vantage for the price is amazing.
Hi great video very useful video Thank you even though I'm looking to get a 570s here in the UK they go for 90k... one from Mclaren dealer with warranty.. do you know if the Mclaren warranty covers everything? I'm just thinking if I can afford it on a 70k salary.. i dont have a lot of expenses i keep most of my money I'm really passionate about cars.. i dont mind spending most of my money on the car😂
Mine didn’t cover the annual service but did cover all of the little issues. I had a door strut replaced, a seal due to a small leak, a tiny paint issue was fixed, a few others like that. Basically stuff that wasn’t regular wear and tear was covered.
I have considered them. I have been told I would fit. I will give them longer before I consider one seriously though I feel like the price needs to come down more.
Nice job! Good honest review. So true regarding the hard work etc. My wife and I drove a '73 VW van to start back in 1994. Then moved up to a 1980 Westfalia...............etc. etc. I spent 7 years in school getting my law degree.........poor..............a year of articilng (Canadian requirement to pass the bar, basically a grunt making nothing....). So 8 years poor and then many years to follow so now we have a Huracan, Merc, RAM 3500 dually, S2000, and a WRX STi..... 24 years after I graduated law school. It takes time, effort, a positive attitude, hard work, and good decisions. Today people think Tik Tok is going to save their lives............NOT..... Cheers.
Yeah. When interest rates were low and they ask me how much I want to put down I always said as little as possible. Now when they are high I don’t do that if I plan on keeping it for longer than a year.
This one isn’t doing great right now as far as money retuning back to me. Luckily it’s really fun to drive so I am at least enjoying it until the market calms down. As far as the loan I have financed and paid off a lot or car loans to build my history up.
@@Busterburg Michigan insurance is nearly unaffordable. Then again, not as high as your car payment. I once had a quote for plpd for a grand a month. I have a perfect driving record.
Not according to a lot of the owners I know. I think it’s usually the people who on them and don’t drive them consistently that have more problems. I drive mine a lot so I think that helps mine not have the issues as much as some other people. Maybe your group of friends that own these cars have better luck than mine have.
@tawerarolston-uo2hq if you have a good credit history you can get one now. When I was looking for mine I had. Dealer look them up by vin and tell me the amount of time it spent in service that helped and most issues come from low batteries and not letting the car get to temperature before being crazy with the RPM’s, at least in my experience. I always plug my car in at night with a battery tender and when I start it I turn the ignition on first and let all the electronics power up then put my foot on the brake and start the car. I haven’t had any major issues with it doing this.
Thanks for the transparency man, we need more candid videos from owners like yourself.
I agree too many people are just upgrading and breaking cars for content not just sharing the ownership experience.
1st annual service ran me 1400, just did my 2nd annual, it was 3500, next year if I have it, it will be back to around 1500. Nice video!
That’s what I’m being told for prices on my 765LT too. Thanks for watching.
Damn cool car! Im 16 and im working hard my ass off so i can buy my first car at 18yrs which is the McLaren 750s spider

Sweet ride! Thanks for the breakdown. I'm excited for my 750S!
It looks like it’s going to be a nice step up from the 720

The experience of the v10, sound reliability is amazing for lambo… the sound is bonkers with the top down, intake whistling and sucking in air, throttle bodies banging in corsa on uoshifts… it’s so satisfying
Nowhere near the performance of 720 but the trade off is sound, reliability and rawness the 720 doesn’t have

200 total days in a shop, my goodness. Thought people exaggerated when they said things like this. Looks like you got one of the good 720 examples
Yeah it seems like they are one way or the other.

Thanks for watching
The price of 720s drops a lot recently.
Yeah but they have leveled out a bit now.
@@Busterburgif I get one I’m getting a 765 is it worth it? I know it kills every car but appreciation wise since it’s 765 units only built.

@@Busterburgthey are still pretty high rn I thing I’m planning to get one but I heard the comfort wise of this is better
I have a 765 now and it’s not bad. A little stiffer of a ride but overall still comfortable.

I am in the Uk, england. Wow monthly insurance is low, making a simple comparison anyway.
I have a different car that I have as my primary so it lowers the cost of this because it’s only driven occasionally.
Interested in your come up by the way. Can you make a video about this? Know you wrote a book but video is always better
Yeah I can make one talking about that
Great color.
Thanks. In the sun it’s amazing.
How did you get rich again? What business did you start? I am really struggling right now bro any tips would be welcome
I don’t think I’m rich by any means but I own an automotive locksmith business. Hit me up on Instagram and we can talk about your struggles.

dude....I have a 7000 sq ft home with pool and I pay less monthly
That’s awesome. Some people do get longer term loans on these cars that makes them less per month. I haven’t gone that route yet.

Congratulations on your success. I’m glad to hear that you put in the work to earn your success.
You only put down 30k??
Yeah. When interest rates were low and they ask me how much I want to put down I always said as little as possible. Now when they are high I don’t do that if I plan on keeping it for longer than a year.
so youre taking an $80,000 hit is what youre saying
I ended up getting out a little better but still took a hit at about $65,000
how did the sale go? What did you get for it?
I got out of it for what I owed which wasn’t horrible but Definitely wasn’t my best car purchase.
How is seating for a tall guy ?
I fit better than most other cars I have owned. I’m 6’4”
You must have a great $ returm strategy to finance 300k... 😮

And your insurance was cheaper than mine when I had my v6 mustang. Must not live in Michigan.

Thanks I appreciate that
I'm guessing you must be a multi millionaire, if you could actually afford one of these beauty's.
I think that depends on how you measure wealth. I have good credit so that helps.
How much you need to get one of these I’m on 150k a year not to sure bout getting one here they had lots of problems?
