Has anyone had any experience behind the wheel of one of these before?
It doesn't seem like the V12 Vantage or DBS will ever come down in price, while the McLaren MP4-12C, although not as pretty or modern-looking as a 570S, has finally dipped below $200k. This is a far cry from the $250k-plus you'd expect for a V12 Vantage or the $300k-plus for a DBS .
Any feedback from owners in regards to maintenance on both manufacturers would be appreciated
I drove a 650S a few years ago and it was like a shifter-cart. Quite an abrupt ride, but holy hell it was fun. I decided right then I wanted one. I've no experience with anything other than that ride, so maintenance is unknown to me.
I've seen some 650Ss as low as $130,000 on Autotrader quite often. That's still about $30k more than I've allocated for myself though.
Oh, crap, I forgot your in 'RooLand. I guess prices here won't help you much, huh? With a 3:2 exchange rate, you'd be looking at $200k anyway, and then the Market Price for down there.
So I guess 'never mind' my ramblings.
It sure was fun though...

Yep, Oz "exotic" used car prices are two to three times the US prices.
And that includes some measly Jags like the XKR and F-Type.
When considering GTRs , c63s, m4, amg gt all slide into that price bracket I can't see another vehicle being as capable, makes it exceptional value for an all out exotic .
That picture isn't even an MP4 though. What are you Canadiens doing up there? Is it a rebadged 650S? Not even a 2012. Something fishy happening in da grate wyte noorth.
Ya, it looks like some lazy sales twerp scooped some stock mages for the wrong model - I hate when they don't post the pics of the actual car. Shudda looked more closely.

On the other hand, you could buy the listed vehicle for $140k and they would have to sell you the pictured vehicle or commit Fraud.

They're oodles of fun and great cars at an even better price, if it's got the kinks worked out by the previous owner.
My apologies. I didn’t look at the author of the post so I didn’t get the sarcasm. Lesson learned.
Thanks.
The point I was trying to make, albeit badly using sarcasm, was that the prices of used F-Types in Oz are utterly ridiculous and well and truly in what would be "exotic" territory in the US. Some are over $300,000 AU, albeit for a lightly used late model R.
