Michael shares the story of him getting a McLaren 600LT, his first supercar which he chose over the Ferrari 458 Italia, the Audi R8, and the Lamborghini Huracan. Michael works in finance and also shares his tips on how to get the best deal on an exotic. He didn't follow that advice on this one as he wanted the experience of speccing his personalized supercar.
Hear the story of Michael's ownership experience with the 600LT including constant service and meeting with the dealer a few times to get the spec to his liking.

Also to anyone watching this later, a McLaren is a supposedly better used with some miles on it because the first owner has worked out all the Kinks like this guy did

[@billykmd]

Enjoyed the video! Honest review by the owner. I had a 2016 570s when it first came out and was really lucky to not have any issues. Awaiting delivery of 720s spider this week. Keep up the honest review videos!

[@shouldigetit]

Thank you Billy! Any chance you're in Southern California? Would love to do a 720S video with you! -Ben

This channel is going places, all the best mate! :)

[@shouldigetit]

Thanks a ton! Made my day to read this!

[@Destr8y]

I have a similar spec 600lt.. mine is ludus blue 2020 spider. Ive put 27,000 miles on it in one year! Best car ever. But over 100k in mostly warranty repairs already. Super temperamental car but definitely my 1st choice in supercar.

[@shouldigetit]

WOW what's been the biggest repair it needed? Are you California based Ethan? Appreciate you watching. -Ben

[@josephabdo6664]

I appreicate another owner sharing his “real” feedback on this car. ive owned my 600Lt 7 months now and you hit the nail on the head when mclarens are behaving they are flawless, but constantly i want too drive mine too i have 6000 miles on mine and its so cool you drive yours too. and yes we are wasting money but damn, i dont know about yiu but nothing is like that smile i get right when i drop the top, and put the car in track powertrain, sport handling mode and go🙌👍 i have a 2020 segestria borealis #3 numbered car. i love it, but yes very tempermental but no major issues for me as of today. I appreicate your honest review, and also when you said you get the feeling like “get too work motherfucker” ahahha i totally relate too that cause this car isnt cheap. enjoy. be blessed!

How is it holding up now

Great review. Thanks.

[@shouldigetit]

You’re welcome! Thank you Hernan I appreciate you watching!

[@BBBonYT]

Beautiful car!

[@leslienoung3794]

Nice car. B&W stereo is an upgrade. And the Spider is definitely the way to go, and the only thing I wish I did different for mine.

[@shouldigetit]

Nice! What area are you in Leslie?

[@Tential1]

" the issue with that is the doors don't go up" Hahahaha

[@moneymikeslickwill8749]

Great review brother

[@shouldigetit]

Thank you Mike, glad you liked it! Can I ask how you found the video? KZbin recommended? -Ben

[@moneymikeslickwill8749]

@@shouldigetit my wife and i found our niche in realestate and ive been looking for a car where the doors lift up. McClaren has some issues but your review in this beautiful ride made me change my mind i searched for cars for sale here in socal and used inventory is low so i looked up reviews on what’s available and vala your awesome channel popped up

[@ljcor1899]

Fantastic review. I just finished purchasing a 2019 600LT with roof scoop. Lucky to have found one brand new and got a nice discount from sticker. I’m in south Florida and thought about getting a spider... but it gets way to hot and rainy here in summer months so decided to go with coupe. I am hoping I don’t have a lot of issues with it... had a 2018 720 and honestly that was in the shop half of the time with continued electronic gremlins showing up... that said these are amazing cars.... nothing like it on the road...

[@shouldigetit]

Congrats on the car LJ! Can you tell me more about the gremlins your 720 had? Did it do the electric buzzing noise? Good luck with the 600. Would love to get a ride in your car and hear the roof scoop air flow next time I’m in Florida. -Ben

[@ljcor1899]

@@shouldigetit In regards to gremlins the car alarm would go off every so often for 40 seconds, lift system would be temperamental, interior noise emanating from rubber seals that needed to be changed, soft close mechanism wouldn’t work from time to time... had to change both doors mechanism.... there were a number of these issues that plagued the car... hope this is helpful. I’m also looking forward to the roof scoop darth Vader like noises!

[@jameswillard1]

@@ljcor1899 Would you mind me asking what type of a discount they are offering on remaining 2019 600LT Coupes? I’m considering one myself that I found that is still but it would have to be a hell of a discount for me to not go with a preowned one and am curious if you’d share your findings? Appreciate it 🙏

[@ljcor1899]

@@jameswillard1 $60k off.. for me it was a no brainer given I was looking for a 600LT with roof scoop and these are hardest to find use with low miles let alone new like the one I found.... you need to shop around and cast a wide net.

[@jameswillard1]

@@ljcor1899 thanks for reply. It seems like most remaining ones I’ve seen are usually heavily optioned cars and since I don’t particularly care about roof scoop I may just go with a very lightly used preowned example. Appreciate the feedback!

[@timetraveler_0]

Good questions.

[@shouldigetit]

Thank you! Anything you want me to ask a Ferrari 458 driver? -Ben

[@SHADOWHOUND763]

Can’t wait till I buy one

[@shouldigetit]

What color are you hoping to buy?

[@oskar91g]

Any issues with scraping?

[@shouldigetit]

Front Axle lift helps take care of that :) -Ben

[@tristantriton8115]

Never understood why folks think a used car is better? The headaches from maintenance defeats the fear of value loss. If you're worried about depreciation then don't buy any vehicles that aren't limited.

[@shouldigetit]

Sometimes people can't afford to pay more for a new car but do have time do deal with potential headaches. Thanks for watching Tristan! -Ben

[@jasonpatterson2143]

LMAO! RS5 is comparable to an R8? I have an RS7 and R8, no comparison.

[@largec]

Too much yapping, and very less footage of this beautiful whip!

[@shouldigetit]

This video is about the experience!

[@largec]

the car is too hot!!!...I want to see more of the car, and I love how it sits in the background.

[@CORLEONESPORTS97]

306 thousand for a car that things constantly break...lol

[@shouldigetit]

Not the most fun! -Ben
