Mark McCann took his Bugatti Veyron, McLaren P1, McLaren Senna and Porsche 918 Spyder to WeBuyAnyCar and it didn’t go as planned.
There was a barrel of problems.
Starting with the fact McCann says he’s been banned from the platform.
The hypercar dealer valuation wasn’t what Mark McCann was expecting
Mark McCann tried selling roughly £7 million ($9.38 million) of hypercars to WeBuyAnyCar to test whether their instant offers come anywhere near true market value.
Actually, to be more accurate, two of the cars – the McLaren P1 and the Bugatti Veyron – belonged to Mark, while the Porsche 918 Spyder and the McLaren Senna belonged to his friend Tommy.
Tommy actually had to act as a ‘stunt double’ for Mark because Mark says he was banned from WeBuyAnyCar months ago.
But it was still to no avail because WeBuyAnyCar simply refused to make an offer.
“These vehicles are too specialist. We wouldn’t be near [a hypercar dealer’s] valuations. Best go back to where you bought them,” the WeBuyAnyCar employee told them.
So they did, and the result was still pretty disappointing.
When we look at the retail price now, we’ve got around $9.38 million here: $2.1 million for the Porsche 918 Spyder, around $1.6 million for the McLaren Senna, around $2.3 million for the P1, and $2.6 million for the Bugatti Veyron.
To be clear, we’re talking about the average market value today, not the MSRP.
While retail sits around $8.6 million, the hypercar dealer offered $7.5 million – a solid figure, though still below full market value.
The reason is simple.
First, selling ‘in bulk’ is never a good idea if you want to get the best possible valuation; second, the dealer still needs to resell them and turn a profit.
The warning when it comes to selling hypercars
Mark McCann and others who’ve done the same thing are highlighting the truth of selling a hypercar privately.
You can sell it fully privately – with no help from anyone – and the potential selling price could be high if the cars are genuinely valuable, which in his case they absolutely are.
But then you’re exposing yourself to the risk of being scammed.
By contrast, you can go through intermediaries, which will remove the risk but also lower the valuation.
The ideal solution?
Well, if the car is genuinely rare and valuable, and ideally if the owner is famous, you can use an auction platform.
