The £60k 12C is almost here

[Lee Jones Jnr]

The orange one has been undercut with a black one at Hamilton Grays. A year older but fewer miles for £62950.
I don’t like the looks on a 12C but they are getting to the point of phenomenal value.

A 12C did get sold for £48k not too long ago. It had problems, but it wasn't a write-off and even with the fixes probably cost less than £60k

Ah but auctions and trade sales of fqed cars aren’t a true reflection of the market in the same way as a car listed by a dealer IMO

It wasn't an auction it was a private sale.

(I know nothing about the car and didn’t say it was an auction. Sounds like it was a fqed/story car, either way it wasn’t a ‘regular sale’ reflective of the market)

Where I suppose cars being sold in the middle of a global pandemic with all the associated financial carnage are a true reflection of the market.

Well, it’s not the only car around that price and every single car in the world is in the same situation, so.... yeah

I am, didn’t pull the trigger pre Covid and am keenly watching to see what happens to these and exige opportunities. Exiges seem stoically resistant to any form of depreciation for the moment so the 12c is staring to feel back within range.

Only thing that held me back before was that the mclaren warranty currently couldn’t be extended beyond 10 year old cars so at the time there was a number of 12c’s on the market on verge of needing to be specialist warranties only.

What are the non manufacturer warranty options? Thorney?

Not sure if they’re a ‘everything should be fixed by now’ kind of buy or still ticking time bombs at this age! I guess regardless you have expensive consumables, but would if really lunch a gearbox or turbo at year 8 not 1-5?

Is this still the case?

Currently upto 12 years in UK

[the av8er]

The car mentioned in the first post was first advertised by its owner as full main dealer history and long Mac warranty remaining.
I think 1 owner at £59990.
I wonder if it's on SOR ??

[Lee Jones Jnr]

Blimey, as of today the £100k 12C is close to making a return too!

Are you sure? That’s not what the people at McLaren had told me at the time.

I’ve dug it out :

‘ An extended warranty can be taken out on a vehicle that is under 10 years of age with a mileage of 75,000 or less at the time of policy purchase and must have been owned for a minimum of 90 days. Therefore you would be able to renew the policy for 2 years up until the vehicle is 10 years old which would take it up to 12 years.’

You’re right, assuming you renew for 2 years within mclaren at the 10 year point.

Never the less, there will be a number of early cars coming out of reach of a mclaren warranty soon. I wouldn’t normally think this were a great or unusual problem but I gather they’re not exactly the most supportive of independent and part supply.
