15-18 there are more AMG GTs sold in NA + Europe than GT P cars sold world wide.
Currently there are 32 GT3 and GT3rs available for sale ‘16-19 in Ontario. By my count that’s no shortage.Originally Posted by Orcbolg
I'm not sure why you tout this constantly, but I've previously shown you the numbers that are available:15-18 there are more AMG GTs sold in NA + Europe than GT P cars sold world wide.
There are 12 GTR’s for sale ‘18-‘20 plus 2 PRO’s plus a handful of new ‘20’s at corporate which is still less than the 32 p cars
Point being IMO GTR’s and GTC’s are just about as rare as P GT3/rs’.

I will not move forward with the purchase of the BS after the current reveal. I will keep my GT that has E63 turbos (supposedly same as BS) and if it will hold its value (North of 60K) for the next 3 years, then it will be a win in my book.
I was on the fence as well upgrading to a 720S as I feel it has the best wow factor look wise. I looked at a few of them over the last 3 months and got the same feedback as others. There are too many factors against it (you lose too much buying new, used you get too little warranty, no local dealers, too many electrical gremlins, too many issues with the glass (even the new one) and Mclaren goes out of their way and voids your warranty when you put an aftermarket sticker on it that gives you an extra 5hp).

Had it 4.5 years. Car hasn't given me any problems.
Has a badass aftermarket stereo and 700whp. Exhaust sounds amazing and you can hear the turbos spooling from a ways away. Feels like way too much car to sell for only a ~$70k return.

Newbie
Absolutely planning on keeping mine for the long haul. I utterly adore it and I tend to keep cars for a long time anyway.
