My close friend has the 720s, and used to have a couple supercars before. According to him it's a hit or miss with supercars, most problem that occur with the 720s due to not driving it, not plug in and battery dies which cause electrical issues, or tune it to the point there's no safety net and destroy the engine, low on oil etc.
Thanks for commenting. That can be very true. We had a customer with a 45k mile 720S that he drove routinely between SF and LA that he serviced with our technicians. Car was great until he hit a large rock that cracked the carbon fiber tub, but that's less on McLaren and more on life. On the other hand, we have heard horror stories of cars with gremlins that just do not get resolved.
Just upgraded all four corners of my 720s to the 765LT accumulators, lines and software. Astonishing difference in ride quality between comfort, sport and track. Highly recommend that upgrade. Wasn't cheap though.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, it makes a difference and they are supposed to be far longer lasting. Not cheap for sure, but also not a price that should dissuade someone from getting the car.
As someone who upgraded from a 580-2 to a 720s performance, I only regret not letting the mclaren depreciate more! Its truly a different league of car. Id argue current values are overvalued and undervalued for the 580 and 720s respectively. Full carbon fiber chassis, dihederal doors, active aero, 3000lbs, hydraulic steering Vs a V10 people fomo into thinking thats the rare keeper. 3000lb 750hp cars are much rarer!
We totally agree. It is a lot of money for the car. Our hypothesis is that McLaren 720S have depreciated so much not because of the car itself, but because of how McLaren has not been able to manage their brand as well as their competitors.

The nearest McLaren dealership/service is over 250 miles away so that's a factor for me.
