I personally don't see a 12C selling for $150k for a long time or unless it has high mileage. The prices for 2012's have bumped up a bit IF they are being sold by Mclaren dealerships with CPO warranty.

Just picked her up today. This car is a joy to drive. One of the few performance cars I can stand the auto mode in. Its a bit weird to see the bumps but not feel them. I will take some better photos when I have time.

Is this CPO a new extended warranty option? I haven't see any used ones listed with an extended warranty. Porsche does a great job with their CPO. Hopefully the mclaren program would be similar.

Mp4 Dream, are you getting the one I referred to you in Newport? Either way, congratulations! the first drive home is surreal.

Patrick did you drive all the way home with the gas nozzle in the car... I'm just playing! Glad you finally got your hands on it - you have been waiting a long while.

There is a thing called McLaren Qualified which is like a CPO. It basically extends the factory warranty. I'm not sure how long you can extend it, but I extended mine for an additional year (back to 3 from 2) for $3500.

I too was unable to find these "deals" Mark speaks of. I do not doubt them. I have heard of Manheim & another dealer resource that tells the actual selling price of previous cars. Mark is correct in getting a great idea of what your car is worth by asking the dealer what they will give for it on trade - of course you will have to add to that as the dealer will resell the car. But their trade in offer is basically wholesale. If you can buy a car for wholesale, hell yeah!

The CPO option cars are only available thru the McLaren dealers - they give you 2 years of unlimited mileage, bumper to bumper warranty along with unlimited roadside assistance for the same period. Not a bad deal given many of the early 2012's are on their final months of warranty. (headlights, paint, tail lights, etc. replaced under warranty.... not a bad deal, worth considering the extra cash considering the price of the parts, like headlights....)

My dealer did not know of an extended warranty option thru Mac when I bought mine a month or so ago. I would love to have an extended warranty, but I have 2 years to figure it out thanks to CPO.

Isn't the original warranty is transferable to the next owner until it runs out ???

Thanks. 3500 for an extra year seems like a pretty good deal for a car of this price level. Worth the peace of mind alone. Not sure how much major repairs out of warranty would cost but probably don't want to find out!
