Beautiful, beautiful car Byron. If the cost (finance) is worrying, make sure that you can 'step back' and appraise everything that owning this car will involve. If that involves putting off your dream for another year, then be sensible. Are your fears shared by your wife, is it the right time for the business? To say you deserve it, is an easy way to say I am buying it. You have been through a lot and what you 'deserve' is peace of mind, a successful business and people who love you more than anyone else. If you have considered everything and the answer is YES then what are you waiting for. Go for it man.

Solid post, means alot that does tbh as this is a huge deal for me, in my world this is mega money but for some its nothing , definitely a scary thing to be doing..... im being very careful , taking my time and making sure the deal is RIGHT at the right time. if doesn't feel right or the number don't add up, i wont pull the trigger. However....... i'm pretty much dead set on this, my mind is made and im going for it! i will keep you all posted as this unfolds. Wifey is super supportive as isa my mom ( whos a massive business influence for me) its important to note this car will be HEAVILY helping to move us into the supercar market, weve achieved the high end and now have the warranty work contract for gtechniq/porsche dealers in the midlands. This car will help massively to get us to the next level, it just need the right car and the right deal.

i had stage 3 cancer just a few years ago.... it was a VERY close call, my throat and stomach was removed and i live in fear that its going to come back with every single slight ache i have.... im getting the car because its something i want to do, its going to be GREAT for business and our future plans , is it risky buying something like a 600LT ... YUP but.... im HEAVILY researching and im also researching the remedies if things to tits up.
Most of all im extremely grateful to be here and able to work for this. i didnt think id see 40.ill keep this updated with more information as this continues to unfold.
How much would you spend on advertising to get the you tube hits and exposure to the detailing and vinyl wrap world that the McLaren will bring plus the enjoyment of having the car taking into account the costs of ownership ?? Could you use it as an advertising campaign , enjoy it , and then sell it on without losing any money . If you can then go for it and take me out for a spin as I`m not that far away from you

I think the McLaren is a good shout, from both an ownership and business perspective. My only real concerns would be, somewhat obviously, reliability and depreciation.
A good warranty would be essential! As for the financials, no idea how the LT models do but I suppose if it brings in higher-end clients then it can be offset to a certain extent.
Good luck with it, wil be great to see what you end up with 8)

Go for it mate. If it makes you happy, it's worth it I'm not an expert by any means in leasing but if for whatever reason circumstances change and it's not working out anymore, I'm sure you can sell it back to the dealership or whatever? You may have to put a bit more in on top to cover it, but money comes and goes, life goes on and at the very least you can say you had a Mclaren for a bit!
I'll make sure you follow your IG account off my car account too

Saw a McClaren in our local Sainsburys yesterday, to be honest heard it before I saw it. Sounded great but didn't present well in Black to be honest.
Go for it. As a good friend of mine once said, we are here for a good time not a long time.
PS If you get it and just happen to be in the Northeast........
