In today's video I share with you my entire ownership experience of the McLaren 765LT Spider. in my opinion, the greatest modern McLaren ever made. What a saga.... From speccing the car, to driving the car for the first time, and lastly getting able to share the car with you... It was a mind-blowing experience and ultimately something I can look back on as something that changed my life.... I'm probably banned from McLaren now from buying future models, but honestly, it doesn't matter. This was a helluva ride.

Thank you for taking us along the journey. The 765 took you and your channel to a new level. So happy to see you grow both professionally and personally, brother. Keep that content coming. It’s only gonna grow from here!
Thank you my friend. Been so much fun to have you here since the beginning. Can't wait to bring you some more amazing Porsche content and some other cars sprinkled in ;)
Your 765lt will forever be in our hearts 💕
Appreciate you my friend. Thanks for always supporting us here.
@@MiamiMiles he not even the real dragtimes
Such an amazing video my man. What an amazing vehicle. Everyone of us who follow you, will miss the excitement and joy we witnessed every time you drove it. The car is a true Legend. Good luck bro and can’t wait to see what’s next.
Can't wait to continue to bring that joy to you through the 4RS and the other cars on the channel. Thanks for taking the time to comment :)
You are funny sir. I can't explain how much joy I felt when you were exciting driving the Mclaren. Appreciate it 🙏.
Definitely a bitter sweet moment. Extremely sad to see the 765lt go but excited for what’s to come in the future. Thanks for taking us along on the journey Mickey, all the best.
Thanks for always supporting the channel and what we are doing. Hopefully see you this weekend at the show...
I know I've said this a million times before, but I will never, ever stop repeating myself to you:
Thank you, Mickey, from beyond the absolute bottom of my heart and beyond what my words can express, for bringing me on your INCREDIBLE journey with the car I want more than any other car in the world. *THANK YOU. SO MUCH.*
You’re welcome my friend . I’m so happy I was able to bring this car to you and have us enjoy it together. Can’t wait for what’s 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thsx for being so honest about the economic factor about owning the 765 spider. Keep up the vids Mickey can't wait for the 4rs
Thank you :) Can't wait for the 4RS to come in
Such a great sendoff video. We’ve had some amazing times in the Larry. Onto the next, and cant wait to start a new chapter in the Miami Miles team ❤
That color is nothing short of breathtakingly beautiful. Arguably my favorite color that I've ever seen on a 765. Some of the purple ones are up there, but the one you had, is just special
Absolutely loved this build bro. A dream car of mines. Feel like i got to love it through your channel until I’m able to get my own one day. Salute to you.
Loved having the car on the channel as well. So blessed to have been able to share it with you.
I’m grateful that car is what brought us together. I’m so glad we have the friendship we have today and it’s all thanks to the 765LT see you this weekend cutie pie!
Our friendship transcends any car 😘 Dylan had to make sure he included my favorite in that B-Roll. See you Saturday. Don’t drive too fast. I’ll be in the Bimmer
I gotta say, this was one of my favorite youtube channels, watching you with the 765LT. Cheers bro!
Wow, thank you!!! This means the world. So happy that you enjoyed this journey with the car.
So many congrats are in order dude, congrats on that insane life experience and for having the ability to purchase it. And you’re totally right cars open doors to relationships. My cayman did that for me when I first got it (on a smaller scale of course) but I have no doubt event greater things are in your future 👌🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you bro. Still surreal to be able to catch up through this channel. Hope things are going well with you, and can't wait for you to get down to Miami to drive the Porsche's.
@@MiamiMiles absolutely man, looking forward to it 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Dealership trying to sell it for $699,000!! I just found your channel about 2 weeks ago and its a gem. Love you for being a great and humble person.
Appreciate you my bro. Can't wait to continue to make great content you enjoy.
Dude I know exaclty how you feel. I built and spec'd a 2019 RS3, and like you worked hard to get it. I remember the wait and everything. I met an amazing crew I spent 3 years with doing some of the best drives of my life. However just like you, other opportunity came along, and I was also weary of the depreciation due to the 8Y chassis coming out. It's hard, but it's part of the constant evolution that we go throguh and we need to cherish the memories and the purpose that the cars served.
Lovely farewell bro
I liked your honesty. Great video can’t wait to make another TH-cam video with you when your new car comes in .
Thank you my brother. Can't wait to make another vid in the 4RS
Brother!!!! Family always comes first but what a car you had. I’m shocked it only sold for 550k. I see so many 765 lts selling for more? But congrats nonetheless. Will continue to follow regardless you’re a cool ass dude! Best of luck with the next steps
Thank you so much my friend. Can't wait to have you here with me during this process. I think the market is right around 500-525 wholesale. We'll see what happens with these cars. I don't think it will be long before they are at sticker.
Thank you sharing. Living vicariously through the video.
Happy you enjoyed it!
Congrats on the sale. Quick note… Your equity was ~$100k, not ~$300k. The down payment doesn’t change that. Glad it all worked out for you 🙌🏼
Thank you my friend. Appreciate your comment
yea, I was initially very confused..
Better things will come 🙏🏼💯 family first, important to enjoy it and knowing when to move to the next, the next toy is going to come soon 🙌🏼
Thank you so much my friend. God bless
Thank God you weren't hit by an issue outside of warranty. I've heard those cars are absolute crazy to maintain. I think you did the right thing and got out of it on time. McLaren are also supposed to depreciate hard after the first year. Too bad you also got rid of the Lotus. In my opinion, that would have been the keeper.
I wish the Lotus was mine. It was my uncle's. Will try and bring one back to the channel eventually. I love that car. Happy I didn't get hit with a warranty issue as well. Car was bullet proof
@@MiamiMiles I truly believe the Lotus Evora GT is a great investment for you as a TH-camr. Even though the McLaren didn't let you down while you owned it the repairs would have been potentially easily in the tens of thousands and most of the parts have to be purchased OEM exclusively though the dealership . The Lotus Evora is based on a highly reliable Toyota drivetrain used literally world wide with off the shelf parts that even some Toyota and Lexus dealerships will work on. The engine is rated at over 200K miles. The transmission is made by Aisin, the best transmission manufactures in the world and is seriously overbuilt. The clutch change will set you back around 6K but that it because the clam has to come off. But if you compare that if with over 25K for a dual clutch job on a Ferrari or 50K on some McLaren, like the one you sold that price is a steal. Besides, most Lotus Evora with over 60K miles are still on their original clutch. The Evora is also a very limited production run and the last hand made Lotus sold that makes it highly exclusive anywhere you go. There are special edition and limited edition production runs from different car manufactures like McLaren and Ferrari that have have made more cars than the total production run of all the Lotus Evora. Finally, there is the issue of depreciation. The McLaren is known for one of the highest depreciating supercars along with Ferrari and Porsche. I've read they can lose way over 30% of their value just within the first year alone and that's 30% of the sticker price of what you paid for it at the dealership so the loss is humongous. By the same token, I've read that the Lotus will lose around 14-17% with the first 3 years and that is on a car that costs less than 1/3 of the McLaren. I don't think the same can be said about the new Emira so if you are thinking about going back to the Lotus brand stick to the Evora GT, the best and last version.
That was an experience. All of your videos always have that something extra that makes them special. Plus sharing the details about your journey with the 765.
Blessed to have you here and supporting the channel. Happy that you enjoyed it.
Well said Mickey, love what the car did for you and can’t bag on a man selling his toys to buy a house 😁
Thank you brother. I appreciate you always taking the time to comment on my vids and am blessed to have you here.
Love the color i want my 765 to be that color one day
Hopefully you just buy mine one day. You’d love it!
What a great video to send off a truly special car.
Thank you my friend. Can't wait to see you this weekend :)
De good ole days...👀😳
Working on making this the good new days 😎
She will be missed ❤
Great contentreally enjoyed that and I think you got the best of that car and the money factor
Thank you my friend. I couldn’t agree more.
@@MiamiMiles it’s ironic because right now I’m driving to McLaren Charlotte to pick up one. Follow on IG stories. Be well, my friend.
Sport mode, top down, foot all the way down under an overpass. Your life will change 👍🏻
Supercar stupenda ma io attendo con ansia il GT4 RS!!😁
First 3 seconds says all end of story
how much of your net worth was tied to the car at the time? you got some balls man !
About 7% at the time. Not enough to break anything but enough to make me sweat lol
hey bro love the vid. I feel when you say "the car is a hack'' im lookin to get my first exotic in the next few months for that exact reason. Would a 610 huracan have the same effect or should i wait a bit longer for a 720s spider?
720S spider all day over the huracan
Literally the 🐐🐐
Appreciate you my friend. Can't wait to meet up on Saturday.
What happened after the BAT auction?
Alot of drama haha. In short original buyer backed out, new buyer came in. Will share at a later time when the buyer sells the car... Stay tuned
@@MiamiMiles It was almost my turn to list my individual 2020 M4 on BAT this past month but I cancelled the listing and sold to a dealer. Started looking at the trends there and it wasn't looking good, and didn't want to risk having something like what happened to you happen to me too lol. Bad timing for both of us on BAT or you could have for sure got more and had a solid buyer. Might wait a bit and list my 300zx tt if things improve in Spring.
Funny thing is I also sold some of my crypto and used it to buy the car I just sold (at a different scale obv), and we sold our cars in the same month.
That would be and interesting video and I know you will do it will your usual flair so can’t wait .
Wow. Ok, 550 large ain't chicken feed and would make a nice down payment on your ocean front house. The Porsche will be fun to watch, of course. And I have this feeling you won't be waiting too long for another car--and it won't be a Camry...😎
Can't wait to get the GT3 back and have it together with the 4RS my friend. If you ever find your way in South Florida, would love to take you for a ride :)
@@MiamiMiles Would love that! Who knows? Enjoy driving vicariously through you at least!
WOW... I swear one of these days I WILL own a 765LT!!
Can't wait for you to get it my friend. Appreciate you commenting as always.
I remember the how to destroy a mclaren video 😂🤦♂️
That was a good time ;)
Bro really said 😲🔇🔇🔇
Love the crying 🤣🤣
Why the politics? I don't get it.
For fun :) If it was Trump as president, he would get it too haha
5:44 loool
I'm surprised it sold for only 550k. Bringatrailer has turned into a cringe fest where everyone seems to have strong opinions they post, and are often negative. These users rarely make bids, and when they do they're on cars less than the auction. Pretty clear they can't even afford the car they're commenting on. It reminds me of C&C before it blew up in popularity. People seemed to think if they parked their 30k car at C&C, they somehow were closely associated with 500k cars.
I forgot to add you should look into cosigning you car at places like cats exotics and rp exotics. Whoever bought your car has it for sale for 700k. Those places will do the same (list it for 700k), but only charge 5% if it sells. They have to deal with all the customers, pics, detailing, and so on for that 5%. It seems worth it to me.
Comment on point. When I sold my GT4, this happened. Like 100 negative comments. The 765LT on the other hand, wasn't like that at all. Seems like it drew a positive crowd, but that crowd didn't bid.
Yes. This would've been a great solution. I think in hindsight I made a mistake.
So is the dealership that sold it to you, really pissed off at you? Hope the GT4 RS at least puts an end to the weeping! ;)
McLaren in general probably… 4RS should return the smile hahaha
🥹🥹🥹🥹 farewell
😂😭 time for hearing aids 🤪
DeMansky is still the GOAT.... We'll see how loud the 4RS is.
In a nutshell you sold to buy a house. Plain n simple. You probably shouldn’t have bought the car to begin with. Cars are not investments
Yea. I sold it and bought a 4RS, 458 and a 997 3RS. I agree lol
we miss her 😭
Me too. I open my garage every day and can't believe its gone.
