    • @WolvenSpectre
      @WolvenSpectre 2 роки тому +3

      To be fair, most of the people who buy these don't see those prices as troubling and are told that is what it will cost going in. When you are buying stuff like that you are buying the brand and the quality knowing that there is a low run on any parts and most stuff is not standard. I can't remember who it was but it was a UK car reviewer that said that when you buy one you double the price you pay for everything that goes with owning and maintaining one and just think of it as the cost of the warranty package. I look at it as if you don't dive it much and it never gets into an accident you get a discount of the real price McLaren wants to make off each car.
      Me, I think I would have a custom car built for that money, but then again I am not a rich car guy. You don't want to know how much I would pay for my computers if I was rich.

      @@reggien737 Idon't know about the rest of the country. But in NY, a MV907A rebuilt title makes a car basically worthless. Regardless of the rebuild job quality. You will most likely never get any kind of fire/theft/collision insurance on it. If you can get a company to issue a replacement policy, it will be at a drastically reduced value. I know a McLaren is never truly "worthless". But it will NEVER, EVER be valued anywhere near a "clean" title. You can knock off 75% of the retail value regardless of how "mint" it looks.
