Financing a McLaren 720S in New Zealand

The 720S is McLaren's Super Series twin-turbo V8 mid-engined supercar produced from 2017 to 2023 and replaced by the 750S. Its 4.0L M840T V8 delivers 720 PS and the car sits on McLaren's Carbon MonoCage II monocoque. NZ supply is spread across Giltrap McLaren Qualified stock, Auckland-based private sales among enthusiast owners, and a substantial UK-import flow on 2017 to 2020 cars that has widened the NZ used-market pool. Lender treatment is consistent across NZ-new and well-documented UK-imported 720S stock, with a rate premium applied to thin-history imports and any car with recorded carbon-monocoque repair. Spider (retractable hardtop) variants appeared from 2019 and trade at a modest premium to coupe equivalents.

Who this suits

Who buys a McLaren 720S?

  • Experienced enthusiast buyers moving from a 911 Turbo S, Audi R8, or earlier McLaren 570S into a Super Series mid-engined V8 with weekend and track-day credentials.
  • Collector buyers targeting a well-specified 720S Performance or Luxury trim with low km and full Giltrap service history as a residual-stable mid-engined V8.
  • Business-owner buyers where a 20 to 40% business-use apportionment on a chattel mortgage holds up legitimately alongside a separate daily-driver vehicle.

Financing notes

What financing a 720S usually looks like.

At $340,000 across a 4-year term at an indicative 10.0% specialist asset-finance rate, the weekly lands around $1,980, or roughly $8,600 a month. Shortening to 3 years pushes the weekly to roughly $2,545 but cuts total interest by more than a third. 720S residuals sit in the standard-run McLaren band at 55 to 70% at three years from new, so specialist lenders typically prefer 3 to 4 year terms with a 35 to 45% deposit rather than 5-year structures. On UK-imported 720S stock, budget specialist pre-purchase inspection including carbon-monocoque assessment and HPI verification before any finance commitment.

Model-specific questions

McLaren 720S finance FAQ.

Is a UK-imported 720S a sensible finance choice versus a Giltrap McLaren Qualified car?

On a well-documented UK-imported 720S with full McLaren main-dealer service history and clean HPI, yes, and the purchase-price saving (typically $25,000 to $60,000 below Giltrap Qualified) can more than offset the 0.5 to 1 percentage point typical finance-rate premium. On a thin-history or previously-repaired UK car, the rate premium grows and specialist lenders frequently decline, which often leaves the Giltrap Qualified path as the safer finance route.

Can I track-day a 720S without affecting finance or insurance?

On finance directly, no: specialist asset-finance lenders generally don't track track-day activity. On insurance, track-day cover requires a specific add-on or a specialist track-day policy separate from standard agreed-value cover; most standard agreed-value policies exclude circuit use. Track-day insurance is a separate cost where the 720S is used on circuits, and track coverage is confirmed with a specialist motor insurer (Star Insure, Vero Specialist Vehicles) before any track event.

Who finances a McLaren 720S in New Zealand?

Specialist lenders, typically over three years or less with a large deposit. The assessment leans on the applicant's broader financial position, because the resale market for a car at this price in New Zealand is measured in a handful of buyers rather than a market.

Does McLaren service history change what a 720S is worth?

Substantially, and therefore what a lender will lend. A documented main-dealer record supports the value on a car with complex hydraulics and carbon structure, and its absence is one of the few things that moves the number at this level.
