Michael Jordan's $430,000 Mercedes McLaren For Sale?

[HighestOfHigh]

Michael Jordan bought a 2007 Mercedes McLaren SLR 722? That's one of the best cars ever made. Nice move, M.J.

Wait, he's selling it after only driving it 962 miles? Seriously? You give me hope, Michael, and then you take it all away.

So, the McLaren can be yours for $430,000, which is a little dear for that brand even if the wheels were spun for fewer than a thousand miles (considering it cost around $475,000 new). The sellers are clearly factoring in the whole "Michael Jordan owned this car" addition.

The specs? Even three years later, this is one of the fastest things in the world. It has a 5 1/2-liter V8, it'll go from zero to just over 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, it runs with 640 horsepower and it will reach 209 miles an hour; and the rear-wheel driven monster is loaded with all sorts of carbon fiber bits so it's light as a feather in comparison to other supercars.

Also, Michael Jordan drove it. For a few hundred miles, at least.

Haha, are there even any heavier supercars, short of the Bugron?

Or could this be a case of very, very different perspectives? Is this a supercar?

Lol. Comment courtesy jalopnik poster: "Just because MJ had and amazing vertical leap doesn't mean the price of his used SLR should as well."

Not worth it. It has too much milage. As an investment you'd better off buying a pair or used shoes from him or a red jersey he's played in, if he's offering any of them for sale.

I sold a red leather SLR that listed for $460k. Sold it for $380k new. Car was way over priced. No way that car is twice the car the SLS is. Not even. Good luck getting that for it.

I helped a fired sell a 911 turbo that was Mike's. In fact, I think I still have a copy of the registration with his name on it. People thought it was cool that he owned it, but I don't recall anyone willing to pay more than the market because he owned it.
