Re the corrosion, is it happening at a fold/seam of the aluminium? Depending on how the bodywork drains and holds water, the seams can be in contact with water during the period of storage. Add British weather and salt and the chance of corrosion is intensified. Once you have a paint correction, you could try protecting the area with an oil. Do this on the other side.
Is that pacific blue? It looks nice😊 edit: i mean other than silver i think this is the most beautiful color for 570gt. I plan to buy this in another 3 years when i have the money and the car price is depreciated 😂
Probably for basic maintenance. Service and oil change plus tyres... I have my oil changed every 6 months but that's just me. Won't cover your insurance though.
@@supacarbaldy3826 sorry yes I wasn’t very clear. I am thinking the costs below would be good. That is using a recognised indy for maintanance. I was wondering if you have had any issues that would eat up 2.5k a year for self warranty/slush fund for issues? Yearly running costs. - 1.5k for annual service - insurance - Tax - MOT - 2500 for self warranty
So I currently own a 911 and am looking to buy a pre-owned exotic replacement. I've driven AMG GTS, R35, Audi R8. I really want to own a Mclaren 570s though am worried about engine reliability and cost of maintenance. What's the nicest used sports car for $150k apart from a 570? Thanks for your input!
There generally aren't any problems with the drive train and engine. But all the cars you mention above are mass production. You won't get the same build quality and reliability with a small volume car.
It may take some adjustment to be happy to deal with reliability issues when moving away from Porsche. But if you can do it, you can open yourself up to some very fun cars. Consider also the Ferrari 458, 488, F12, although, these might be over budget in your market? True exotics could be Noble and TVR. McLaren and Lotus would give you the driving pleasure you would be used to in a 911, Lotus giving you change for maintenance
@@glenmiester Porsche is a mass production car... You can either have a beautiful car that has class leading performance but with issues you have to be aware of or a (in my opinion) dull car with the reliability that comes from mass production of mainstream companies...
@@supacarbaldy3826 I get what you're saying. And your 570 is a beautiful car. But not sure I agree with the mass production vs reliability comment. Besides, the Porsche GT3 I would argue isn't a mass produced car and has great reliability. And definitely not dull as you have put it. It is likely why a similar aged GT3 costs a good £50k over a Mcl 570
@@glenmiester So Ferrari, McLaren etc all the same. If Porsche design a new door they go to the VAG testing lab who bolt it into a robot jig that opens and closes it 10,000 times to make sure it works. McLaren design it, try and think of any possible issues, then build it. That's the difference 👍🏻

Very nice…i put 12mm wheel spacers on mine improved stance & handling 👍
Because mines lowered it won't take spacers that wide without rubbing

Nice vid, what brand is the battery sounds pretty smart

Modern cars getting corrosion
Your corrosion estimate is quite cheap ? Where are you getting it done ? Did you inquire independently or through McLaren

Would you say 2.5k per year is enough to cover any issues you have had on a yearly basis?

Beautiful 570.
But the McLaren sounds pretty unreliable for a modern (premium) car
@@glenmiester Unfortunately it's the same with every small volume, had built brand...
@@supacarbaldy3826 It's a shame as they're beautifully designed and sound awesome! Just don't have that Porsche reliability sadly

Yes, replaced with Ti bolts and washers.
