McLaren lost only 7.5% and this means that the depreciation decreased compared to six months ago. The rate is now aligned to the rest of the market. Moreover, the depreciation dynamics are in line with what can be expected; Old cars are depreciating slower than new cars.
If you are a buying and have been patiently waiting for the end of the above average correction, now might be a good time to explore the market. Sellers in turn should take note of the differences in depreciation rates.If you are owner who cares about values and have been anxiously following the prices during the last 1.5h years, it might be time to destress.

M5 competition in German Market. Lost value incredibly a lot in the last year

[@Wisesap]

Breaking out a few markets in a single video is fine by me.

[@rdiamond655]

Agree. I like seeing the two markets in one video. But maybe that changes if you add the UK.

[@scottl.6721]

I almost purchased a 2017 570GT at the height of the market in 2022 for $165k, found the same car for sale now asking $134,500 with CPO warranty. Glad I didn't pull the trigger on it. The car also had a accident with $20k of repairs that doesn't show up on the Carfax, (but shows on the dealer repair orders the dealer provided) that stopped me from buying.

[@teddyruxpin3811]

Good job doing your DD.

[@blustackschris9687]

German market is most interresting to me

[@DavidDrives]

Awesome content! Loving the EU content, keep it up. Thank you for your work

[@user-dy8zw7bq9f]

McLaren 650S coupes was only approximately 10% of production making them much more rare and only around 400 made.

[@Splexant]

Any idea how many of the 400 are in the US?

[@smiconsulting8434]

Thank you for this one! As a McLaren 650S Spyder owner, this is appreciated. Keep up the great work you do for our exotic/sports car community.

[@chronocp]

Would love to see more German market overviews

[@FerrariCaliforniaT]

Where in the US/UK/EU do you get your sources for median car prices from?

[@shejustcant]

thank you sir

[@thambomathambo7146]

What is the statistical power for your model?

[@benjaminibe1214]

Why dont a review of the bentley bentaygas or coupes

[@flboy5611]

Can you do another video on second generation R8's in the US. I'm in the market for one and I would really appreciate it! Best regards.

[@fourwheeltrader]

I will do one in three months. The R8s I usually update every six months.

[@theclutch19]

Are the prices that you're showing "asking prices"? It seems they are a bit high vs actual sold price. For ex 600LT are in the high $190's and low $200's for a coupe!

[@shejustcant]

so assuming depreciation is slowing down on the mclarens, that must mean that lambos are severely haulted in depreciation?

Re: German market. I assume you are using either the aggregated data from Autouncle (which combines Mobile, AS24 and I think some eBay too) or just Mobile. But even then, the German market is completely outshined by the UK market. The issue is that the UK is a very different market relative to any continental European market. I see half-a-dozen 812s for £200-210k in the UK, that's €235-245k FX-adjusted. In Europe, excluding the lone outlier the cheapest cars are €300k. That is to say we can't aggregate the data across EU + UK, but without Germany the EU market in total is small and even with Germany it is small relative to the US. Aggregating across models wouldn't work, barring general market trend interpretations (if you standardize sub-samples in terms of size). I hope some other markets have better volume/stock, because I don't think McLarens have that. It might make sense to specialize certain markets to a US vs. UK comparison.

[@fourwheeltrader]

Yes, the UK and DE will be split as they can be very different.

[@teddyruxpin3811]

So should I keep my 600LT another year or no? Hmmmmm. I think I will :)

[@Mark-rt6fy]

curious does it overheat if you track it in summer

[@FrankGallagherr]

720S is $150k soon

[@jameswillard1]

Nope going to be awhile

[@DueGreg]
