Been waiting for this video 👌 Really good to hear you haven’t encountered any major issues. In terms of possible replacements, what do you think of the Maserati MC20? Guess it’s technically a downgrade with it’s V6 but it’s definitely prettier and a little more special/rare to see!
I would have to see if I fit in it. It looks a little small but I haven’t tried it out yet. I will look around though and see if I can find one to try out.
From my experience it was a solid car. The only reason I don’t have it is because I upgraded to the 765LT and I have had 0 issues with it. I’m not sure why they have such a bad reputation I think you just have to drive them and keep the battery fully charged.
I am currently owning 4 McLaren: 600, 675, 765, and my daily beater 720S. Never a major problem worth mentioning with any of them. In 2024, 600LT, 720S and 765LT are still the best supercars money can buy used. They were also the best supercars money could buy when new. Porsche 992 Turbo, GT3, GT3RS, GT4RS, , F8 Tributo, Lamborghini STO, Aventador SVJ, I have driven them all and nothing compares to the driving dynamics of these McLaren. I can overlook minor issues like door seal tapes peeling which can be easily fixed. The sheer performance, driving dynamics , steering feel / precision, hydraulic suspension, and the rigid Carbon monocoque make a 720S, 750S, and 765LT almost up there with the hypercars costing 3-5 times more. At the current market prices, I am still wondering why people are selling them. Porsche 992 build quality is not as good or as reliable as previous models either but Porsche fanboys will find everything acceptable as long as it’s a Porsche. 😂
I love this car. Riding in it was amazing. Loved the feel of the traction control as it kicked in. Being 6’3”, the leg room was the best so far. The color was awesome as well.
@@Busterburg OK - so my current drive is a 2022 RS5. Previous to that I was driving from 2014-2021 a Litchfield RS6 with 750 BHP. Both are nice cars, but still made for the road. So today the 720S was after I had driven a Lamborghini Superleggera earlier in the day. The Lambo was OK, but to be honest felt a bit like an Audi (no wonder !!). The 720s was (is) a true race car. Clearly can be driven on the road, but it is a track car for sure. I had an instructor in the passenger seat shouting instructions, and I got quicker and quicker over the 6 laps. Very little use of brakes (was scary ! but got used to that after a while). The track was dry today and I was told that if it was wet we might not have even gone out on the track - so appears that for track use you need some real respect if wet with that rear drive and two turbos kicking in! Overall - very enjoyable day. Enjoy your car (s) !! Mark.
Thanks I appreciate that. I thought the 720 was the Best Buy when I bought mine and they went down more. Now there is absolutely nothing that can compete in its price range.
On what planet is it acceptable to pay for a supercar and have door seals not work??!!! Not to mention the laundry list of problems you cited!! They should have had Toyota build it at their factory!!

It’s an amazing car. I have seen that Bugatti a few times too. I have a blue McLaren 765LT now if you see me let me know I will show you the car. Sorry for the late reply TH-cam hasn’t been showing me all the comments.
I m italian,so i would PERSONALLY chose an f8 tributo over this.. But it is undeniable that the 720s will go down in history It's insanely fast, and it looks so sexy. Salute from italy
I think it’s responsible for all the new cars more aggressive styling and performance boost. The F8 is amazing, I like the F12 style more but the F8 is second for me.
@@Busterburg same, i prefer of course the f12/812 ,but they have the engine in the front and overall they are super gt cars ,not really track cars like the 720s
Yeah that’s a rough one. I showed it to the sales guy last time I was there and he acted like it was no big deal. I am taking it in to have service look it over before the warranty expires I will have them fix it. They are way better with customer service than the sales people.
I get it but I think it’s dumb that when you get these cars they expect you to be ok with lower quality things in the car because it’s made to go fast. It’s a small problem that is easy to overlook.
@@Busterburgbecause a 992 Turbo is boring and ubiquitous. McLaren is a higher performance car. An exotic supercar is supposed to be beautiful and that’s why a McLaren will always stand out and be noticeable. There is no shame in owning one. Those who don’t want to stand out can keep driving a Porsche or better yet a Toyota. Why buy a supercar?

I’d rather the 675 LT over the 720S. Mclaren we’re in a far stronger financial position when they designed & built the 675LT than the 720S & it’s a better engineered car as a result.
Can you please give some examples? I've watched all the Robert Mitchell's videos of him raving about the 675LT on the Nurburgring just wondering in what ways you feel the 72O is inferior.
I was meaning the 765LT is better than the 720S. Just like the 675LT is better than the 650S. Whenever McLaren makes a LT they upgrade and fix the base car.
Fact is that there are very few cars with a perfect navigation. Another fact is that supercars consist quite often out of after market parts. Particularly Ferrari suffers from this problem.
I agree now with how phones are I don't think the cars should waste their time with built in navigation just go straight to Apple car play or Android Auto.
i had one for 4 months and put 16k miles on it from brand new and the first 8k miles were great but for what i used it for it went to shit very quick, i would go over 200mph many times every time i took out the car(weekends only), and it just couldnt handle what i wanted out of a car, i ended up trading it for a GT Black Series and Renntech tuned it to 1100hp.
@@Busterburg like butter, the high speed handling and the way it takes corners is incredible, definitely worth your time checking em out if you do any super high speed stuff
I went with an Aston Martin Vantage and I am going to tune it. I couldn’t find a black series for the price I thought they should be. They look and sound awesome so I’m glad to hear they drive as good as they look and sound.
@waterbucket4358 I don’t know if I’m rich yet, but I own a business with my wife and we have been working at it for years. Don’t be afraid to put in time and master a skill once you have money will follow.
Apart from the space, how does this car compare to the Lamborghini Huracan or Aventador? If you were a few inches shorter, would you still prefer the McLaren?
It’s way easier and more comfortable to drive. My Aventador felt very outdated with all the technology features navigation, Bluetooth, the screen and controls. The Mclaren is way easier to park too.
I am actually working on a video for cost of ownership. But I have driven just over 3,000 miles and I have only had to do one annual service that was $2500 I have spent money on some other things but that was the only real have to.
@@rawwwwable If you believe He is a prophet of God why don’t you listen to what He says? Matthew 16:13-16 13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
For me the 812 isn't an option. My head hits the support making it uncomfortable for me to sit in. If that's not a problem for you it really boils down to what you are looking for in the car. The 720 is turbo so you get that boost and the doors go up mid rear engine so it's super balanced and exotic looking. The 812 is a screaming V12 that sounds amazing it's fast and NA so it's a nice acceleration curve. It's like an exotic muscle car with the styling. I prefer the F12 design a little more but either way you get the best at what it's built for.
Hello there, very nice review, have you been honnest about reliability? I got some some nice cars and read a lot about Mcalren, can you tell me? Here in Canada, some crazy fools paid almost 300K cad dollars for the hideous C8 Z06 wannabe ugly and slow in straight line Corvette ( 3750lbs for 670HP trap speed like 130MPH and 720S is 140-142mph trap )...I saw onlye 2 720S in my life since 2017 but saw C8 everytime, how it can be possible that some people pay a Chevrolet Corvette C8Z06 300K like you can have a nice 720S low milleage close to this price??
I haven’t had any crazy maintenance bills yet I have one soon that will be over $4500 and the warranty won’t cover it. Chevy has done a really good job making people think the C8 is a limited number car but it obviously isn’t. I don’t understand why so many people are paying so much for them right now.
how much is your insurance monthly/yearly? I almost bought a McLaren but the insurance was too much $$$ for SF/SD markets. Had to go with a 10+ yr old Ferrari instead for the "classic car" huge discount
Whether or not others of expensive cars admit it out not.. . It IS largely for the status and recognition. Just as it's is owning an expensive Swiss watch. No one wants to spend$300000 she have to constantly explain what car you're driving... AG's still get"backstab? Never heard of it.. Fast? Expensive??"..VS everyone recognizes a Ferrari or a Porsche.. People not into cars
I haven’t had issues with mine. I think it’s like any care if you take care of the car it won’t need as much attention. You have to drive it consistently to keep everything running the way it’s supposed to.
I wouldn’t if it would connect to my car with apple car play or android auto. There isn’t a great place to put your phone to see without totally looking away from the road.
I have added 2500 miles in the past 8 months to my 765LT. 3000 to my Durango Hellcat and about the same to my golf cart. I have only put 1500 ish miles in the raptor this year. The 720 I averaged 2500 to 3000 per year.
@@Busterburg Hello dear, What would you expect prices in upcoming years about Maclaren 720s and upper models... And if we drive it 2-3 times a week's what will be the maintenance or service cost at the end of the month. And would u recommend to have a used Maclaren 720s ? Thanks 👍🏻
@@megastar3029 I think that McLaren prices will follow their trend. The normal models will take a pretty hard hit due to the release of different types of the same model, spider, lt and occasionally the R. Then the replacement model, like the 750 was for the 720. After that they slow down and somewhat hold where they are. The 720 is low right now I think due to the economy so they are amazing to buy. The maintenance for driving that amount would probably just be the annual service price and occasionally tires.
@@Busterburg Thanks for your reply man ! Appreciate it 😊 But if we buy used Mclaren especially (720s) which is about $120,000 USD In Dubai would u recommend it ? And what should we look forward for our betterment please give me a feedback. I would absolutely love to hear it .
@chianhan I thought the same thing at one point. Keep that goal in mind and work backwards to figure out what you can do today to get you one step closer today.
I almost never use it, I like to hear the car. When my kids are with me they will connect their phone with Bluetooth and play songs. The speakers sound great and the connection has not dropped off. It is weird if you want to switch to a new phone, it only lets one of the connected devices have the ability to play music. So if it’s connected to my oldest daughters phone but one of my younger daughters get in the car I have to switch it in the cars Bluetooth settings so they can connect their phone.
@@Busterburg I take my Huracan up there to get my haircut every once in a while. Do you go to the shows down here? Holman is hosting something this weekend.
@@Busterburg Yeah, we rallied to it a few weeks ago. I actually have a video up of it hahaha. The event was pretty good, hot as balls though.....I enjoy the rallies to the show more than the show.
I know I’m in the minority with that opinion. I just love the way it smells and looks when it’s cleaned and taken care off. I view alcantara as a face suede to just fabric made to look fancy.
It means I usually don’t keep these cars for a full year just like the long list of cars before them. I don’t know how much of a flex it is but if that’s what you think that’s fine.
@@Busterburg Some TH-camrs do the cars, some just do the lifestyle and the cars are a means to an end for views and clicks - it’s a commercial enterprise. Not being familiar with your content, I was hoping for the former. No big deal at all. Love the colour you went for.
@colin5577 I like to buy them and enjoy them and then move to the next house me so I can experience as many of them as possible. That being said I just bought my 765LT and I plan on keeping it longer term. I want to hold on to this one. I understand some channels get cars for views but my channel is not big enough to support that type of purchase right now. These are all for my enjoyment and I like to share that experience on my channel. Good and bad.
@@Busterburg Fair enough. Hope to catch some useful content on the LT at some point. The cars aren’t without their issues and it’s great to get a bit of info on the purchase experience, dealer support etc. Also - thanks for taking the time to reply. That’s worth a sub to help you along.
@colin5577 so far the LT has been amazing only one McLaren issue nothing crazy and it went away. I try to answer as many as I can. If you take the time to comment something I try to answer Thanks for watching.
Idk why but Mclaren just doesnt sound good. It looks cool etc but i hlonly hear bad things abt it. Its like they sell supercars tjat are recycled. I like the concept of the 720s but i would never buy a Mclaren if i had the money
The sound is definitely not as good as some others in its class. Although it does get better when you are actually driving it. I have had issues with quality on a lot of these types of cars I just don’t get why these brands think the name alone will make up for lesser quality. Mclaren so far has been equal with Lamborghini for me. A few of the issues I had with mine in the beginning were the service departments fault not the cars. They forgot to plug some things back in when working on it and they installed the radar detector sensors to close to the parking sensor. What car is your dream car to own?
@@Busterburg oh no i didnt mean the sound hahaha i meant it doesnt sound good because everyone is talking bad about mclaren. I only hear bad things abt the brand
@@Busterburg oh dang Mclaren on par eith Lambo ? Dang i tough Lambo would be way better then hahah. But tjat still sucks tho that after dervice they ruin stuff when assembling thr car again. I would hate that. But comparing them i would choose lambo over Mclaren. My dream cars are: Mercedes AMG E63s pre face lift, AMG GTR in solarbeam yellow, ferrari 812 superfast, lamborghini huracan perfnormante and porsche gt3RS. And if i would be rich rich i would deffo buy a mansory edition car. I love those. Fully custom
@@Busterburg im new to your channel and i see you said you have alot of quality problems with these high end cars. That sucks man. You would indeed expect good quality. Anyway imma check ur channel out :) 💯
That’s a good list. I haven’t had a Huracan so I can’t talk about that one specifically I had a Gallardo and Aventador. I have heard the Huracan is way better.
@@Busterburg It doesn't get as much attention as the McLaren (good or bad thing depending on the person), but the glorious V10 engine + exhaust sounds fighting each other is unfair when compared to the V8 TT 720s. I'm more of a sound > speed guy so to each their own, but I think I might prefer the R8 slightly more for that reason alone. Also I'm really big into music and as the cars warm up I like to blast some tunes in both. The Bang and Olufsen upgraded system in the R8 sounds 5x better than the Bowers & Wilkins system in the McLaren. The bass is seriously impressive in the R8. Storage space is better in the McLaren even with the lack of glove box. You thought the 720s frunk was small? The R8 is a joke haha. Awesome you had a 1st gen! Most car people regard the 1st gen as the most beautiful and classic of all R8s.
@@Busterburg Lambo Huracan has both the crazy supercar looks and the V10 sound, but you lose out on the great sound system and a few other things that make the R8 a bit more of a daily in comparison. I also find Huracans to be a lot more common than R8s in the cities I live. Now I wouldn't mind a V12 weekend car like an 812 or Aventador S one day!
@VoRLiN so had an Aventador it was a dream car for sure but I wasn’t in love with the way it drives. I don’t really fit in Huracans or 812 so I have a smaller pool of cars I can pick from.
No it’s not leased but it was purchased used so the initial depreciation is not as drastic. I have tried leasing and purchasing and the purchasing worked best for me.
I’ve been trying to convince myself why I should buy this car and I can’t come to a logical conclusion. The Porsche 911 just screams practicality to me.
I don’t think a McLaren is the car to buy for practicality. I have never owned a Porsche and only driven a few so I have a limited knowledge to compare, but I am underwhelmed every time I look at Porsche and excited every time I look at McLaren. It really boils down to what are your wants from the car? I think the 720 is the best car at that price range right now.
@@Busterburg I totally respect the facts don't get me wrong but you know how it is. The rest of us are essentially peasants with ordinary vehicles and ordinary doors!

It’s an amazing car. I have seen that Bugatti a few times too. I have a blue McLaren 765LT now if you see me let me know I will show you the car. Sorry for the late reply TH-cam hasn’t been showing me all the comments.
I m italian,so i would PERSONALLY chose an f8 tributo over this..
But it is undeniable that the 720s will go down in history
It's insanely fast, and it looks so sexy.
Salute from italy
I think it’s responsible for all the new cars more aggressive styling and performance boost. The F8 is amazing, I like the F12 style more but the F8 is second for me.
@@Busterburg same, i prefer of course the f12/812 ,but they have the engine in the front and overall they are super gt cars ,not really track cars like the 720s
@@Busterburg and btw i m 100% sure that (as you said) the "opponent" (n1 ferrari) had to level up to match the insane performance of the 720s
@@Artofwar3004 they did an amazing job leveling their performance up and keeping their style and adding just a touch of aggressiveness to the design.
Your car's color is gorgeous. That's the color I would pick.
Thanks it’s my favorite color on the 720S.
supercar buying decisions: do I need to put my hat all the way on? good-bye
That was an example of how low the roofs are for me that wearing a hat can make me to tall. Thanks for clicking on it.
The seal peeling off a newish supercar. Oh dear.
Yeah that’s a rough one. I showed it to the sales guy last time I was there and he acted like it was no big deal. I am taking it in to have service look it over before the warranty expires I will have them fix it. They are way better with customer service than the sales people.
Check out the brodit 720S phone mount helps keep the phone up in view without getting in the way.
This is awesome thank you for the recommendation.
Bro thats a dream car forget the stereo or navigation
I get it but I think it’s dumb that when you get these cars they expect you to be ok with lower quality things in the car because it’s made to go fast. It’s a small problem that is easy to overlook.
Great video. Would love to see more McLaren stuff.
I’m working on another one right now. It will be out next Sunday.
Build quality has always been an issue on these, I would rather have a stage 1 992 Turbo S 🎉🎉🎉
I can’t explain it but every time I go for a Porsche I end up with something else. They are great cars it just hasn’t happened yet.
@@Busterburgbecause a 992 Turbo is boring and ubiquitous. McLaren is a higher performance car. An exotic supercar is supposed to be beautiful and that’s why a McLaren will always stand out and be noticeable. There is no shame in owning one. Those who don’t want to stand out can keep driving a Porsche or better yet a Toyota. Why buy a supercar?

personally I woulda gotten the McLaren F1 but that's just me. you do you bro
Hahaha I know what was I thinking?
Great video man! 720s is one of my dream cars, I will own one one day!
They are fun. Keep making the right Decisions and you will get one.
I’d rather the 675 LT over the 720S. Mclaren we’re in a far stronger financial position when they designed & built the 675LT than the 720S & it’s a better engineered car as a result.
Me too but right now you can buy two 720’s for the price of a 765.
Can you please give some examples? I've watched all the Robert Mitchell's videos of him raving about the 675LT on the Nurburgring just wondering in what ways you feel the 72O is inferior.
I was meaning the 765LT is better than the 720S. Just like the 675LT is better than the 650S. Whenever McLaren makes a LT they upgrade and fix the base car.
Cool video! Crazy random your channel got recommended to me and it has less than a thousand subs. New sub!
Yeah I’m starting to get consistent and try to grow. Thanks for the sub. Let me know if you have anything you would like to see.
Great video keep it up man 👍🏾
Thanks I appreciate that
great review man! What are you doing to be able to afford such a great car?
I own an automotive locksmith business.
Nice honest review 👏🍻👏👏
Thanks I appreciate that.
Fact is that there are very few cars with a perfect navigation. Another fact is that supercars consist quite often out of after market parts.
Particularly Ferrari suffers from this problem.
I agree now with how phones are I don't think the cars should waste their time with built in navigation just go straight to Apple car play or Android Auto.
@@Busterburg I fully agree.
The 720s spider is my dream car and one of my personal goals in life. Love to hear that it fits your style. Can I ask what you do for a living ?
I own my own business. We are a national wholesale automotive key provider for auctions, dealers, and companies with large fleets.
i had one for 4 months and put 16k miles on it from brand new and the first 8k miles were great but for what i used it for it went to shit very quick, i would go over 200mph many times every time i took out the car(weekends only), and it just couldnt handle what i wanted out of a car, i ended up trading it for a GT Black Series and Renntech tuned it to 1100hp.
That’s crazy, how does the Black Series handle it?
@@Busterburg like butter, the high speed handling and the way it takes corners is incredible, definitely worth your time checking em out if you do any super high speed stuff
I went with an Aston Martin Vantage and I am going to tune it. I couldn’t find a black series for the price I thought they should be. They look and sound awesome so I’m glad to hear they drive as good as they look and sound.
@@Busterburg the vantage is a great car and extremely good looking
So you've demonstrated that you can store small children in the front trunk.
This is why these cars are so popular in Hollywood....
She fit rather comfortably. Too bad you took it in such a dark direction it was just meant to be funny.
@@Busterburg It's because these are dark times.
😂😂😂😂😂
What I hate the most is not having an engine door. I like looking at my engine and have an easy access. I hate this about my 570GT
It was weird at first but I also don’t think there is a ton to look at on these. I do like having the option of looking though.
how did u get rich
@waterbucket4358 I don’t know if I’m rich yet, but I own a business with my wife and we have been working at it for years. Don’t be afraid to put in time and master a skill once you have money will follow.
@@Busterburg what type of buisness? Product or some other thing?
@truthseekcatalog7600 wholesale automotive locksmith
Hey man great review! Have you ever been in a GT3 RS OR GT2 RS? I want to know if you can fit in it good since we are the same height, thanks!
Yes they actually have plenty of room I have almost bought both of them but ultimately decided on something else.
@@Busterburg Perfect thats great to hear! My goal is a GT2 RS but would be very happy with the GT3 RS. And thanks for the quick response!
@ShawnFX I don’t think you can go wrong with either option.
Apart from the space, how does this car compare to the Lamborghini Huracan or Aventador? If you were a few inches shorter, would you still prefer the McLaren?
I think the 720 is better than the Aventador for sure.
@@Busterburg Any reasons?
It’s way easier and more comfortable to drive. My Aventador felt very outdated with all the technology features navigation, Bluetooth, the screen and controls. The Mclaren is way easier to park too.
@@Busterburg Awesome, thanks!
@nikhilmehta2827 I found a few more cool thing the 720 can do, I am finishing up the video now it will be out Sunday.
How many miles have you driven? And what maintenance has needed to be done so far?
I am actually working on a video for cost of ownership. But I have driven just over 3,000 miles and I have only had to do one annual service that was $2500 I have spent money on some other things but that was the only real have to.
I sold mine about 2 months after owning it. Was boring, went back to Porsche.
What about it was boring compared to a Porsche? I have never owned a Porsche as a comparison so I would like to know the difference between brands.
What year is your car? Is it a performance, luxury, or standard model? What were your miles at time of purchase?
I have a 2019 and it’s a luxury. It had about 13,000 miles when I bought it.
@@BusterburgThank you. How many miles now?
@qmccall0328 16,300
the kid in the frunk got me lol
She was so excited to do that.
Beautiful car! Which first supercar or sports car do you recommend for a car enthusiast?
That really depends on your budget but the first gen R8 is an amazing car. Either V8 or V10.
@Busterburg thank you so much for your reply. Yeah the R8 looks like a sweet ride
They are so comfortable and drive amazing. The maintenance is less than others. Both V8 and V10 sound amazing and they hold their value pretty good.
this is actually a really cool review
Thanks I appreciate that.
Thanks I appreciate that.
how about your left leg placement because of the tub structure? very curious about that
I use the foot rest where a clutch would be or pull my foot back closer to the seat. It’s not that bad as long as you wear narrower shoes.
The good news: If you put your faith in Jesus and repent of your sins you will be saved.

Matthew 16:13-16 13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Religious MFs trying not looking down on others
@@Juduhboth of you are so gay talking about your made up stories 😂
What are the bad news? Don’t sugar coat it, just give it to me straight.
a HUGE plus of the 720 is that its got the largest thrunk of the lot of them somehow. LOL
This and the R8 have the biggest Frunk out of all the cars I have owned.
Please tell what you do for work so that I can make this happen. thanks
I am an automotive locksmith. I spent half of my career working for someone else mastering the skill then starting my own business later.
@@Busterburg Brilliant good for you man!!!
720s or an 812 superfast?
For me the 812 isn't an option. My head hits the support making it uncomfortable for me to sit in. If that's not a problem for you it really boils down to what you are looking for in the car. The 720 is turbo so you get that boost and the doors go up mid rear engine so it's super balanced and exotic looking. The 812 is a screaming V12 that sounds amazing it's fast and NA so it's a nice acceleration curve. It's like an exotic muscle car with the styling. I prefer the F12 design a little more but either way you get the best at what it's built for.
Hello there, very nice review, have you been honnest about reliability? I got some some nice cars and read a lot about Mcalren, can you tell me? Here in Canada, some crazy fools paid almost 300K cad dollars for the hideous C8 Z06 wannabe ugly and slow in straight line Corvette ( 3750lbs for 670HP trap speed like 130MPH and 720S is 140-142mph trap )...I saw onlye 2 720S in my life since 2017 but saw C8 everytime, how it can be possible that some people pay a Chevrolet Corvette C8Z06 300K like you can have a nice 720S low milleage close to this price??
I haven’t had any crazy maintenance bills yet I have one soon that will be over $4500 and the warranty won’t cover it. Chevy has done a really good job making people think the C8 is a limited number car but it obviously isn’t. I don’t understand why so many people are paying so much for them right now.
Thank you for your time, I appreciate it!@@Busterburg
Anytime
how much is your insurance monthly/yearly? I almost bought a McLaren but the insurance was too much $$$ for SF/SD markets. Had to go with a 10+ yr old Ferrari instead for the "classic car" huge discount
$275 a month.
@@Busterburgnot bad at all are you actually covered 😅. I pay $200/month for a mustang
@mikea8081 yeah I have really good coverage. I also have a lot of discounts for all the different types of insurance I have through the same company.
Will soon own one. god willing 🙏
Work had and be smart with your money and you will get one. God gives opportunities it’s up to you to capitalize on those opportunities.
Whether or not others of expensive cars admit it out not.. . It IS largely for the status and recognition. Just as it's is owning an expensive Swiss watch.
No one wants to spend$300000 she have to constantly explain what car you're driving... AG's still get"backstab? Never heard of it.. Fast? Expensive??"..VS everyone recognizes a Ferrari or a Porsche.. People not into cars
Most people still recognize the McLaren but I still get your point.
What about the service i heard they break out a lot
I haven’t had issues with mine. I think it’s like any care if you take care of the car it won’t need as much attention. You have to drive it consistently to keep everything running the way it’s supposed to.
I didn’t know people actually used the navigation in cars lol 😂 sick car
I wouldn’t if it would connect to my car with apple car play or android auto. There isn’t a great place to put your phone to see without totally looking away from the road.
How many miles do you drive it a year?
I have added 2500 miles in the past 8 months to my 765LT. 3000 to my Durango Hellcat and about the same to my golf cart. I have only put 1500 ish miles in the raptor this year. The 720 I averaged 2500 to 3000 per year.
Can you daily drive it? What bout road bumps? Roads in Spain are a mess
It can easily be a daily it has a front lift and handles bumps well.
@@Busterburg Hello dear,
What would you expect prices in upcoming years about Maclaren 720s and upper models...
And if we drive it 2-3 times a week's what will be the maintenance or service cost at the end of the month.
And would u recommend to have a used Maclaren 720s ?
Thanks 👍🏻
@@megastar3029 I think that McLaren prices will follow their trend. The normal models will take a pretty hard hit due to the release of different types of the same model, spider, lt and occasionally the R. Then the replacement model, like the 750 was for the 720. After that they slow down and somewhat hold where they are. The 720 is low right now I think due to the economy so they are amazing to buy. The maintenance for driving that amount would probably just be the annual service price and occasionally tires.
@@Busterburg Thanks for your reply man ! Appreciate it 😊
But if we buy used Mclaren especially (720s) which is about $120,000 USD
In Dubai would u recommend it ?
And what should we look forward for our betterment please give me a feedback. I would absolutely love to hear it .
@megastar3029 I would definitely buy one for that price. Try to find the car with the most options it will make it easier to sell later.
What’s the color name of this car?
Helios Orange
nice nice review. Really nice man.
Thanks
What color is this considered to be?
Azores Orange
@@Busterburg thanks for replying! That’s really quick haha. Very cool car btw! Hope to be able to own it myself someday 😁
@chianhan I thought the same thing at one point. Keep that goal in mind and work backwards to figure out what you can do today to get you one step closer today.
Are u going to trade it for the 765 LT ?
Not right now. I’m waiting for the price of the 765 to come down more.
@@Busterburg any idea about the 765 LT successor ?
@readyon3506 they did the 750 so maybe they are going to build off of that more? I’m sure they are developing a hybrid successor.
Whats the stereo like?
Has it ever broke down?
Nice video
I almost never use it, I like to hear the car. When my kids are with me they will connect their phone with Bluetooth and play songs. The speakers sound great and the connection has not dropped off. It is weird if you want to switch to a new phone, it only lets one of the connected devices have the ability to play music. So if it’s connected to my oldest daughters phone but one of my younger daughters get in the car I have to switch it in the cars Bluetooth settings so they can connect their phone.
@@Busterburg thanks for replying

Leather over Alcanterra? No wayyyy lol
I know I’m in the minority with that opinion. I just love the way it smells and looks when it’s cleaned and taken care off. I view alcantara as a face suede to just fabric made to look fancy.
Why bother when you only allowed 60 mph
I enjoy owning and driving them. It’s a different experience to own this car and go 60 mph than owning a Prius and go 60 MPH.
You love it but never expected to keep it for a year? So it’s not a car, really… just a TH-cam flex.
It means I usually don’t keep these cars for a full year just like the long list of cars before them. I don’t know how much of a flex it is but if that’s what you think that’s fine.
@@Busterburg Some TH-camrs do the cars, some just do the lifestyle and the cars are a means to an end for views and clicks - it’s a commercial enterprise. Not being familiar with your content, I was hoping for the former. No big deal at all. Love the colour you went for.
@colin5577 I like to buy them and enjoy them and then move to the next house me so I can experience as many of them as possible. That being said I just bought my 765LT and I plan on keeping it longer term. I want to hold on to this one. I understand some channels get cars for views but my channel is not big enough to support that type of purchase right now. These are all for my enjoyment and I like to share that experience on my channel. Good and bad.
@@Busterburg Fair enough. Hope to catch some useful content on the LT at some point. The cars aren’t without their issues and it’s great to get a bit of info on the purchase experience, dealer support etc. Also - thanks for taking the time to reply. That’s worth a sub to help you along.
@colin5577 so far the LT has been amazing only one McLaren issue nothing crazy and it went away. I try to answer as many as I can. If you take the time to comment something I try to answer Thanks for watching.
Do the negatives how often has it been in the shop homie
It needed a new battery at the beginning, the annual service, and now to fix a small paint flaw.
Looks like Brook’s 720s
I don’t know how to check and see if it is or not.
Mclaren 750s has solved all the interior tech issues
I think the 750 improved on the Atura. took that base and made it better.
car nav's suck except for BMW - you can literally talk to it and its a hoot
Yeah BMW does have a great UI in the newer generations.
Idk why but Mclaren just doesnt sound good. It looks cool etc but i hlonly hear bad things abt it. Its like they sell supercars tjat are recycled. I like the concept of the 720s but i would never buy a Mclaren if i had the money
The sound is definitely not as good as some others in its class. Although it does get better when you are actually driving it. I have had issues with quality on a lot of these types of cars I just don’t get why these brands think the name alone will make up for lesser quality. Mclaren so far has been equal with Lamborghini for me. A few of the issues I had with mine in the beginning were the service departments fault not the cars. They forgot to plug some things back in when working on it and they installed the radar detector sensors to close to the parking sensor. What car is your dream car to own?
@@Busterburg oh no i didnt mean the sound hahaha i meant it doesnt sound good because everyone is talking bad about mclaren. I only hear bad things abt the brand
@@Busterburg oh dang Mclaren on par eith Lambo ? Dang i tough Lambo would be way better then hahah. But tjat still sucks tho that after dervice they ruin stuff when assembling thr car again. I would hate that. But comparing them i would choose lambo over Mclaren. My dream cars are: Mercedes AMG E63s pre face lift, AMG GTR in solarbeam yellow, ferrari 812 superfast, lamborghini huracan perfnormante and porsche gt3RS. And if i would be rich rich i would deffo buy a mansory edition car. I love those. Fully custom
@@Busterburg im new to your channel and i see you said you have alot of quality problems with these high end cars. That sucks man. You would indeed expect good quality. Anyway imma check ur channel out :) 💯
That’s a good list. I haven’t had a Huracan so I can’t talk about that one specifically I had a Gallardo and Aventador. I have heard the Huracan is way better.
Ihan romu! Voisi tuosta 500€ maksaa
Daily a 2020 Audi R8 and 2021 McLaren 720s Spider and the McLaren looks way better and is way faster
Yeah the McLaren is so fast. How do you like the R8? I haven’t had one of that generation. Mine was a first gen.
@@Busterburg It doesn't get as much attention as the McLaren (good or bad thing depending on the person), but the glorious V10 engine + exhaust sounds fighting each other is unfair when compared to the V8 TT 720s. I'm more of a sound > speed guy so to each their own, but I think I might prefer the R8 slightly more for that reason alone.
Also I'm really big into music and as the cars warm up I like to blast some tunes in both. The Bang and Olufsen upgraded system in the R8 sounds 5x better than the Bowers & Wilkins system in the McLaren. The bass is seriously impressive in the R8.
Storage space is better in the McLaren even with the lack of glove box. You thought the 720s frunk was small? The R8 is a joke haha.
Awesome you had a 1st gen! Most car people regard the 1st gen as the most beautiful and classic of all R8s.
@VoRLiN yeah I had a first gen gated V10 I wish I had kept it. I agree 💯 with you on the sound
@@Busterburg Lambo Huracan has both the crazy supercar looks and the V10 sound, but you lose out on the great sound system and a few other things that make the R8 a bit more of a daily in comparison. I also find Huracans to be a lot more common than R8s in the cities I live.
Now I wouldn't mind a V12 weekend car like an 812 or Aventador S one day!
@VoRLiN so had an Aventador it was a dream car for sure but I wasn’t in love with the way it drives. I don’t really fit in Huracans or 812 so I have a smaller pool of cars I can pick from.

Hope thats a leased Car. Otherwise you will loose a lot of Money. Depreciation of this Car is about 30 to 40% the First year.
No it’s not leased but it was purchased used so the initial depreciation is not as drastic. I have tried leasing and purchasing and the purchasing worked best for me.
I’ve been trying to convince myself why I should buy this car and I can’t come to a logical conclusion. The Porsche 911 just screams practicality to me.
I don’t think a McLaren is the car to buy for practicality. I have never owned a Porsche and only driven a few so I have a limited knowledge to compare, but I am underwhelmed every time I look at Porsche and excited every time I look at McLaren. It really boils down to what are your wants from the car? I think the 720 is the best car at that price range right now.
i own one. i hate it from my exp. the car interior is not much better than other ordinary car.
That sucks you don’t like it. What are you planning on getting next?
@@Busterburg yeah mate what to do. i think not suited me as far as 2 years own and still had it in my garage. 😮💨
