In this current market, 675LT anyday. Its under valued and has a higher msrp, as long as you can deal with it not being as reliable as a perf

This is pretty top of mind for me. Perf prices went through the roof in 2021 and sit $80-$100k more than they were in 2020. You have STOs and tecnicas coming out which theoretically should be better but I have never driven either.

I am hearing a lot on the reliability front. Totally get it as we have all heard stories first hand of friends with 600LTs mainly. I’ve heard owners fairing a bit better on 675LTs. I would of course get a warranty regardless of which choice I go as both are CPO’d and offering an extended warranty Included in the price.

I haven’t heard a lot of people driving both cars communicating which has a better overall experience. I have driven a perf and it’s intoxicating but getting behind the wheel of a 675LT is much more difficult. I am trying to justify a $75k+ price difference and go with the Perf. That’s a wide gap and not sure if the market will support $300k+ perfs in 12 months with all the inventory of STOs and tecnicas.

Could be wise enjoying the 675LT under extended warranty and picking up a Perf when they come back down potentially. I am likely going this route unless someone can help me realize a perf is just that much better outside reliability.

Don't really think much more can be said than what's already said here. YOU will have to determine what values you appreciate more. If warranty issues don't scare you or your wallet, the Mac is probably for you. If straight line speed means the most, the Mac. Pretty much everything else, the Lambo (in my opinion....but I have no personal seat time in an McLarens....).
I also see more McLarens in general than any Lambos....so exclusivity wise, I'd say Lambo.

Remember just because you have warranty doesn’t mean you will be able to enjoy. Sure you save money but what is the point if the car is in the shop over and over? Not saying this will happen but that is what made my mclaren experience a bit crappy. Air brake stopped working, lift stopped working, Bluetooth stopped working, etc. all took a few weeks back and forth to the service center. ANNOYING

Also, the perf is much more comfortable to drive IMO. The comfort seats and seating position far better than the 675. I got tired after 10 minutes of driving the 675 because of seating position with the bucket seats.

Look, you can take advice from who ever you want
Most here are nice people, are knowledgeable about cars and especial Lamborghini. But, share an unbalance biased view
Take it from an owner of a 675lt, the car is other level. What separates the 675lt from all other mclarens save for the f1, it’s built in very small numbers and was built with extra care.
I have 29,000 miles on mine. It’s driven. No reliability issues.
Here’s a thought. If you are serious about your purchase, go to mclaren life and spend the time going through real people who own these cars and what they feel about their cars. If you are going to spend the money, make the effort. Go drive both. Let your ass be the guide
I love you guys, lively discussions are good
If you have never driven a Mac, it can’t hurt to check it out. Maybe you will change
Your opinion(or rehashing someone else’s opinion).

unbalanced view? Have you owned a perf? I would say it goes both ways right with your opinion?

100% agree that to drive it is the only true way to know which one speaks to you. It made it crystal clear what was right for me at the time.

I said the Lamborghini was a great car

so then you have owned a perf to give your balanced view?

Driven one but not owned.

I agree that the 675 is an incredible car and very undervalued. I recently sold mine after nearly 6 years of problem free ownership.

Makes sense to me. The 675 does appear to have stabilised vs the Perf which is currently on the high side. How long it will stay that way with EVO’s, Technica’s and STO taking centre stage is anyone’s guess. Unless the Mac is a bad colour or spec you don’t stand to lose a great deal by putting your foot in the Mac pond plus its a great drivers car. The ergonomics and seating position of the Mac is hard to beat as is the steering and chassis tautness.

I really don't think the STOs or Tecnicas have much of any impact on HP pricing, especially since there have been 50-90 STOs for sale for the last 8-12 months, and neither the STO or Tecnica are AWD. There have been no more than 32 HP coupes for sale at any given time, in the last 8 months, and unfortunately their prices haven't come down much at all in the last year. The HP is still the AWD Huracan king, and that is likely not changing.

HPs have only come down $10-20k on average, since the peak of the covid market, and are still $60-80k+ above pre-covid prices.

Why did you sell it?

Needed to make room for other cars arriving. Also figured my P1 and Senna do a good enough job of representing the McLaren corner of my collection.

Makes sense. 3 top tier Macs is an certainly an adequate representation for the brand one could fairly say!

What’s inbound?

Didn't you at least have to have the DLD replaced?

 

[topcarbon]

Didn't you at least have to have the DLD replaced?

Yes
It was done at 26,000 miles
It’s a part that wears
That’s long term maintenance
Just like a clutch, brake rotors, anything that gets used over many miles

That's not too bad then.

The Macs definitely have more wear items to consider, vs the Huracan, but I suppose as long as you're aware of things like the DLD, accumulators, coolant hoses, hose clamps, oil leaks, etc (especially the ones that people don't realize aren't covered by the Mclaren CPO or extended warranty), then it's more bearable.


Seems some folks have few/no issues, and others get saddled with nightmares.

How is reliability on a 675LT?

Hey everyone! I am thinking about picking up a 675LT Spider in the next couple weeks. I just wanted to gain a little more insight on how these cars are to maintain longterm. Any information helps, thank you so much!

Like with any purchase, a proper ppi should be done

Veyron, SLR and several new Porsches.
