New Mclaren owner

Safe flight and safe road trip home!

My buying experience=

I try to buy F12 2 dealers tell me to wait 2 years

I try to buy SLS AMG Black series coming in Aug 2 months still can't get a firm commitment dealing with 3 dealers and MB customer advocate at MB headquarters .

I try to buy Mclaren from 2 local dealers both very friendly and helpful both tried hard but didn't have a car with the options I wanted I would have been more than happy to buy from either of them, I went online looked at inventory of next closest dealer 400 miles north he had a car with all the options I wanted. I called asked the price it was more then fair I gave him a deposit on the spot asked him to change to Corsa tires and have it ready Friday morning and pick me up at the local airport he answer no problem thank you. Mclaren is trying to be a customer company if you add in how there took care of everyone who bought a car before the upgrades pretty soon some of the other stuck-up company's will need to change or loss more of there customer base. I will report on the pickup and delivery after I get it in the morning and a 400 mile drive home.

I feel the same way, factory has done a fantastic job!

Congrats on the purchase! On a side note, I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the MP4 versus LP-640 comparison. I know that they're drastically different cars, but given their similar price point, I'm curious as to what you think of the comparison.

The price point is really not similar my Lambo msrp was about 415000 the mc was 291200 both loaded but the Lambo is fast but brutal and an event to take out the Mc is soft and gentle . If you want to have fun and be part of a circus seen go Lambo. If you want to drive fast and be comfortable go Mc. I got it last night after driving it around the city maybe I will see things different.

Congrats Lane! Beautiful car!

They had to get the dealership network setup. Limited production numbers followed by the ultra extreme P1 would not get established dealer networks to buy in.

When you put it that way ..... I guess you are right, Capt.

I just bought a new MP4-12c I will be picking it up on Friday and have a 400 mile ride home any suggestions on break-in or anything else to watch out for. I think it will make a nice partner for my LP640 Murcie it will be replacing my Aston DB9 as my regular driver. And I can now use the SRT8 Jeep as transporter of people and things.

I was looking at it from the standpoint that both a 07/08 LP640 and a used 12 MP4 are roughly $190-220k. I mean absolutely no offense by this, but I was curious if all the technology in the McLaren made the Murcielago feel dated, or whether in contrast it reinforces its rawness.
