Good points. I think performance wise the Corvette is a bargain and is almost hard to beat when comparing it to other sports cars. Now that they are going mid-engine it reduces that spread even further. Buying the other high-end exotics are about exclusivity, the experience, higher-end leathers, materials & Dealership not just performance. Cars are getting better every day just look at Hyundai/KIA as an example. When it first came out it was a POS Today they are up Honda's A with their only issue being resale, they build a nice product that competes in their car demographic.

The Mclaren 12C price range for a clean used is in the 120 range high miles maybe 100, clean car have not hit below 100k yet or one would be in my garage. I have owned many exotic cars, the ME Corvette will be my 61 purchase if I can wait that long & yes I am still young not even close to retirement. I purchased a clean manual R8 that only had 15k miles on it. I do my research on all the cars I buy, this is key for anyone buying a high-end car or any product. I Found out the R8 has two major inherited issues: AC compressor and the mag ride shocks go out. These two issues are not cheap to fix, AC fix requires the engine to be pulled mine was 7,200 dollars to fix at an Audi dealer. The mag shocks are around 2k per wheel at a dealer to fix, My cost on parts is 5200 if I do the work myself. My point I knew this was a problem and even though the car went through a clean PPI from Audi those items failed in 18 months of ownership. I purchased a warranty through Audi for 4 years 50k miles at a price of 2k. The fix: I only paid 250 deductible for 16k in total repairs during my 18 months of ownership. The Mclaren 124C was the first true production car for the brand, it has a long list of issues with some owners not having that many problems. You buy any used high-end car you get a trusted warranty unless you like writing checks. Porsche builds incredible products that are very reliable and almost bulletproof that can get up there on price. I get annoyed when people say O stay away from European cars because they are ****, cost so much to repair and they break down all the time. While most saying this have never owned or even driven one of these cars & got their source on the internet since it has made all of us all experts. The statement to stay away from European cars is not true all purchases have a risk as I have owned every major brand multiple times and had few problems and was prepared when they did occur. Even on this forum, you can find a list of people that had issues with engines, paint, AC, overheating problems with their new or pre-owned Corvettes. My new 15/Z06 was fine other than my headliner fell on my head while going to a car meet with only 300 miles on it. I replaced it with leather headliner to match the seats. I never called the dealer as I thought the foam felt cheap compared to other parts of the car. I have a friend who drives his 458 daily and has over 40 thousand miles on the car without any issues other than regular maintenance. His resale will suffer like any higher mileage sports car but he doesn't care.
I always say If it’s mechanical I can promise you it will eventually break regardless of brand & price you paid for it, the goal is to be prepared when it does.

Well get your check book out my friend. Over the last 60 days I’ve seen lots of McLarens under or right at 100k.

REPair and maintance on the 12c is ridiculously expensive. THE four grand a year extended warranty offered by mclaren is almost mandatory...

good pricing as i hadnt seen them drop that low. Last time i looked they were in the 120 grand range..

now at 89 its ridiculously inexpensive if you want a garage queen low mileage ownership experience...

corvettes have the gm 300k mile validation process and for the most part maintaince and repairs are dirt cheap..

btw paterson nj is a ghetto and often deals with cars that have been hit pretty hard and repaired...be careful if a deal seems too good to be true..

Yeah I was told if I can’t afford the extended warranty to steer clear of the car. I’m aiming to pick one up in March so I’m hoping I can do 100 or less.

I don’t want the NJ car just a few too many miles. I want something in the 15-20k range. I was actually told to get a car with at least 15k miles because it was driven enough to know if the car has been having issues or not.

I love my Vette and won’t be getting rid of it. It’s just so good for the ability to drive basically whenever I want and not worry about things breaking, and even if they do I can afford to fix it. I also have an Acura TLX as a true daily and I love that thing for what it is.

......yes what does JD Powers know about Porsche reliability? If they aren’t reliable what does that make the Corvette?

lol point taken I fixed my post. I been looking for a Clean MP4 with very low miles with no issues. The ones you posted are BS cars as you can tell by the discounting plus I know of those cars. I feel sorry for the new owners of those 3 cars. I buy many high-end toys goal is to get a clean example. Last week got in an argument with a small dealer mis representing a car with a BS clean car fax. my paint meter was all over the place which is a truth teller. He said it was never painted before and it was mint,. After further research it was a lemon buy back from the manufacturer hidden from records and not on car fax. This is a big problem with cars coming out of Florida and a few other states. I got burned once out of Florida with a 2013 BMW M5 117k MSRP car.

If it’s pre-owned and it seems to good to be true it usually is. Market for a 2012 low mile very clean MP4 is 100 to 120. Next time I will be more clear. Missed one at auction last week.
