Price history

Today $220,000 · modelled median at five years $170,402
Solid line: the value this library has carriedDashed from 2026: modelled · even money $135,242 to $198,594
The green band is the even-money range and the one to plan on: half of outcomes land inside it. The pale band behind it bounds eight in ten ($103,557 to $223,999). The path is this model's own: it starts along the momentum of its recorded history and bends toward its projected median as the horizon lengthens, so no two cars share a future curve.

The verdict

The numbers argue against it. Scores 54/100, ranking 91 of 104 in the over $100k band. Ownership economics is the strongest input, scarcity the weakest.
Running it costs about $11,750 a year (5.3% of value), which is what the economics score measures. All in, including the projected value change, it is $24,010 a year.
The model's five year median is $170,402, a -22.5% move, with the tenth percentile at $103,557.

At least one recorded transaction plus a source. Direction is sound, the exact level less so.
Scored against every recent Australian sale this library holds, half its values land within 11.2 per cent of the price paid and the rest miss by more, in either direction. Projections are therefore damped toward flat in proportion to how little is known, and the plausible band is never narrower than the error the model is known to make.

1 completed Australian sale of 1 rows. Rows marked asking, no sale, or context are shown for honesty but do not count toward the evidence grade: an ask is not a transaction, a pass-in is a refusal, and a provenance or overseas result does not price the ordinary local car. The badge on every row is computed by the same rule as the grade, so the two cannot drift apart.

No forecast is used to compute the hurdle. It is the purchase, the duty, any premium and 5 years of running cost, grossed up for the cost of selling and spread back over the hold. The projection it is measured against is the weakest number in this product and is drawn that way in the chart above. Transport, finance and any restoration spend sit outside it.

The case for and against

The case for

McLaren's carbon-tub chassis engineering is widely praised by road testers for handling precision that outshines rivals at a similar price. It represents an accessible entry point to McLaren carbon-fibre construction as values continue their gradual depreciation curve.

The case against

Values are still on a depreciation curve since new rather than appreciating, and specialist McLaren servicing costs sit at the top tier of supercar ownership. At 165 registered in Australia it will take considerable time to become genuinely scarce. Internationally fewer than half the lots offered have sold, and the highest reserve asked - GBP115,000 to GBP130,000 in 2018 - is the one that failed most clearly.

At least one recorded transaction plus a source. Direction is sound, the exact level less so.
The first Australian transaction, and it is 23 per cent below what this record was carrying

$225,000 at Darra QLD on 12 May 2025: a 2017 car in the special-order shade of Storm Grey, 39,504 kilometres, carbon-ceramics, McLaren Orange callipers, a heavily specified factory build sheet running to Dark Palladium exterior trim throughout, and six dated services from 8,889 kilometres in 2018.

Read the rest of the evidence notes (4 more)
At 39,504 kilometres against the 55,000 expected here

The odometer adjustment is plus 2.5 per cent, so the sale normalises to about $219,500.

The value moves $285,000 to $220,000
Until that sale this record carried no transaction at all

Not an ask, not a pass-in, nothing - the $285,000 was inference. One sale is thin evidence, but it is infinitely more than none, and the direction it points is the same one the 720S, the 458 Italia and the 488 GTB all moved in when their first real numbers arrived.

The seller had also removed the rear wing

And included it with the car, along with a pair of Fi downpipes - both reversible, and neither treated as a deduction here.
