Default Mclaren F1 LM for sale

Got a call today from Frank Selldorff(spelling) saying that he was selling the Lm. We arent really interested in the car considering its very impractical, not to mention the price tag I highly dought that anyone will pay 3.9 for it, if i had to put a price it would be 2-3. What do you think?

I'm going to start saving now, and hope no one buys it by the time i get enough money. I will also need some extra lifetimes, but it'll be worth it. And people are willing to pay 3.9million, Bill gates bought 3 959's just to get one of them in the country.

this car is gorgeous and indeed very rare but 3.9 is through the roof........i think the owner is just casting the thought out there to see if he gets lucky and someone bites.

As of now he has a couple bids over 3, so i guess 3.9 isnt to far out there...

I thought the going price was about $1 - 1.2 MM and that you had to buy it thru the factory who would re-do the seating position and such to your requirements. Guess not!

What I find funny is that the item is listed similar to a $10 part - refering to the "Add to the cart" button and "Shipping charges" - UPS ground, air second day, etc.

$3.9 actually seems very reasonable since it is essentially a super-limited edition version of what is at bare minimum one of the best cars in the world. the factory won't make complete conversions of an F1 to LM, they'll only do the suspension and aero packages (and other small stuff) but, with the exception of the F1 sold at Christie's, the LMs are the only McLarens with the unrestricted GTR engine.

plus, the value of these cars, especially the LMs, will only increase over time, so it is a good investment as well

If I had $3.9mil lying around I would buy it in a second. 8)

Too bad they only have one pic (or am I missing more pics somewhere else?)...I always like to see pics of McLaren F1s!
