    This information is invaluable for anyone wanting to buy a McLaren - brilliant for the brand in my opinion to have specialists like Thorney about.

      I bought a McLaren before the $100,000 luxury tax. There's worse cars for going over speed bumps in Canada.

    I would love to see a schedule based on the buying value, and the cost of the upkeep over a mileage range.Yes its like falling in love

    Great guide. Very clear and by sheer conincidence a great advert for your cars 😊 I'll come to you when i want a mechanically great car, dont care about carbon, when it gets bought will be kept for life and push through 100k miles so stone chips unlikely to be an issue either. Given that i drive much like a biker, I'll see if i can get 100k on ceramics😊 or get a 540 and have you optimise it...

      @@ThorneyMotorsport Thanks for the reply. Yeah, just 50 made and sold worldwide so probably not many RHD models in the first place =/ I really like that they were worked on by Peter Stevens. A 25% premium seems quite reasonable to me.

    Hi so i see youre selling quite a few cars under £80k is this just due to the economy and market? Or whats changed as you say stay away from sub 80k cars

    • @ThorneyMotorsport
      @ThorneyMotorsport  3 месяца назад

      If you read the comments on the sub £80k section on our website we are quite clear in saying that there are non car related circumstances around those at the cheaper level, in other words some people just want the money. The cars are bargains under £80k regardless of model.

    Was going to buy a 570 GT- or S, as my first "supercar", but after all these negative comments on reliability, build quality, I think I'll stick to a super saloon- my Audi RS7. ok.. it's a hatchback, but it's fast, roomy, well built, versatile, and have had ZERO problems in just over 26 months..

      @@EvoraGT430 well sweety, I'd be the first to say the interior is a trifle dull- but with 4 wheel drive, and +600 bhp, it sure isn't DULL. I've specified a higher top speed (177mph)- and have done that on the autobahn- felt very stable, very secure. Unlike feeling skittish in a Ferrari 430, or a 911 Careers 2.. so I'll stick to that, and not a so called supercar that needs constant expensive maintenance, and a careful right foot.
