McLaren 570S - is it worth it? | Richard Reviews

[@wheelsandwatches]

Those running costs are mental? Must be mainly finance payments? If you buy outright once depreciation has mainly been taken care of you are left with servicing, MOT, warranty and insurance. Servicing is roughly 1-1.5k per year, warranty through McLaren is 3300 ish, MOT is peanuts 50 ish, insurance is clearly a bit difference on many factors. For me annual cost for one of these if bought out right would be around 6k.

What model is yours?

[@wheelsandwatches]

@@RichardGreigDickson hi, that’s the costs for a 570s. I don’t own one yet but looking to buy.

[@Kempy89]

He pointed out exactly what the costs were for. £20k or so for deposit, £20k or so for finance payments. This comment just feels like a weird attempt to flex to everyone that you'd "but it outright"... Which is a stupid idea, by the way. Why would you buy something that's depreciating?

[@wheelsandwatches]

@@Kempy89 not a flex at all. I don’t even own one yet. I was just wanting to show that it doesn’t have to cost anything like that to run if bought out right. As to why I would buy out right it is because I don’t want to pay interest on a depreciating asset. If bought at the right age and maintained well potential losses are limited so less risk than buying new or new ish.

[@wheelsandwatches]

@@RichardGreigDickson I am looking at a 570s or 570gt and my costs are based on running costs for them.

Bro I’m looking to get one soon this video really helped me

[@jeidmann]

Here's the thing...I don't mind the cost of a supercar, I just expect that the craftsmanship is such that I don't have to deal with the hassle of unreliability, let alone the expense.

[@RichardGreigDickson]

You’re 1000% correct man. I think the angle I look at it is that with such precise engineering, small faults will cause the system to shut down. For example, I had a Rolls Royce for a short while. All I ever had to do was swap a water pump, it never had any fine engineering issues even with a BIG V12. Supercars you MUST expect them to break and do it semi often. That’s not just McLaren either!

[@kshavayer5220]

I don't know if you consider the AMG GTR a super car but those are extremely reliable and have the creature comforts.@@RichardGreigDickson

[@DoubleOSeven007]

Not mass produced cars so testing is limited so breakdowns and build issues will be high.

Love the video and transparency

[@toms_garage]

Great video Richard, thanks for sharing

CLASS

🙌🙌

The finance option depends how much your going to spend. If I had £90k for a secondhand one why finance it and pay the interest?

[@octolil]

If the interest financing is 3% and you can get 6% on the capital you would have spent on the car then you are better off financing.

[@mrh6577]

@@octolil A good example but I haven’t seen car financing at 3% and then interest at 6% on £90k? Most financing I’ve seen is a lot higher on secondhand cars? New cars are lower but then they depreciate a lot.

[@joeman123964]

​@@octolil rates are high in U.S right now. jist got a honds civic sport touring 2024 and financed 20k. ran with 778 credit score. 5.09% is my APR. debt free and make 85k annual.

Need more of this type of content. Throw in some random stuff like food reviews, travel vlogs, definitely hitting 100K subs by EOY

[@RichardGreigDickson]

That’s the plan bro 🙌

[@MrGB1999]

How many miles did you do....

[@TejTalks]

Great review!

[@keithguppy12345]

Thanks mate. Really considering getting one in the next 6 months. Got a Porsche 918 GTS so want a step up. Really helpful video

[@Ellielug1]

What a nice guy

[@chanellaDaboss]

Lol dang how do you guys afford these kinda of cars 😅 that’s crazy. It’s a beautiful car 😊 Dream car ❤ Thank you for this video, it’s really good to know the good, the bad and ugly.

[@RichardGreigDickson]

Hard work most of the time 🙌 they can be a pain 🙏

[@Sothisismidlife]

Great review. One of the best I’ve seen on this car 👌🏻

[@kierandrum]

uncles got a blue 570 truly is mad

[@ThePedroDB]

The 570S is most definitely mid-engined. Only Porsche (& possibly Alpine..) continue with the rear engined layout

[@Carloscolome92]

Best review 👌

[@FlickzerT]

This accent kills me😂

[@AmericanBusinessman422]

Every ownership review of a McLaren is always trying to sell it...
