find that hard to believe,as Mclaren have to put a few cars around the 35 dealers first to keep the interest up,so no way is a feb car coming in august.mine is in the top 10 from manchester mid to end august,a feb car would be group 2 or 3 in the uk,if you are in group 2 thats possible,but not group 3,they have to look after the rest of the worldThese cars should now be starting to be in customer hands - yet there are no posts on hereI know the forum is in its infantcy but even so I am surprised
My car is due end of the month yet I spoke to a guy local who told me his car was February delivery but now is end August as well.

Patience Bruce, it's McLaren's first "mass production" car and one worth waiting for. They are now delivering showroom and test drive cars first to European dealership. You will be getting your car even before Asian dealers get their test drive and showroom car. My delivery is scheduled on week 48.Will let you know what happens with him . Mine is due week 35

Sorry to say i disagree - they are fortunate to have me as a customer as with all depositors! I do not feel they have done a good job with the buying experience to date and they have had my money since november 2010. A finite delivery date should not be too much to expect
The car is already 3 months late. What is the cork in the bottle it is NOT the sat nav, so what is it!

Because that was resolved weeks ago in that it would not be supplied.
The factory is full of cars so why are they not being delivered
Seriously thinking of cancelling unless I am given a specific 'You can receive your car on -----'
4 cars to dealers last week apparently Manchester and Brum and 1 gone to customer of those so the trickle begins
Bruce,your week 35?,so if you cancel your specced car,you lose your deposit,Because that was resolved weeks ago in that it would not be supplied.

for £30k ,id stretch it a least a couple more weeks !!
That's great news.4 cars to dealers last week apparently Manchester and Brum and 1 gone to customer of those so the trickle begins
Now, somebody find out who that customer is and tell them to start posting here for the rest of us!!
Hmm.. if you need a car that soon, you probably need to buy something that is already sitting on a dealer lot or up for sale privately somewhere, no? What would you get instead? Maybe the Merc SLS would hold its value decently if it is only temporary, i.e. if you decided to keep your spot in line for the 12C?
I just don't know what you can compare to the 12C as a long term ownership proposition? Something older, maybe? Carrera GT?? Ford GT??
Sorry that you have those time constraints and dilemma.
In this case, if the funds are available, I would suggest buying a Ferrari 360 Spider. They are now basically fully depreciated and you should be able to get resell it again with minimal loss fairly quickly. Not sure which McLaren dealer you are buyiing through, but you might check to see if they have a Ferrari dealership within the group and if so can a deal be done with a guaranteed repurchase price.Hmm.. if you need a car that soon, you probably need to buy something that is already sitting on a dealer lot or up for sale privately somewhere, no?

[/I]I shall keep my place and have to wait until they deliver > I guess my point is I should be told when this will be -as all customers whos deliveries are just round the corner should. If you are expecting delivery in Q1 2012 for a car nobody could reasonably expect delivery date cast in stone but when it 'should' be 3 weeks away i believe you should. Maybe I am being unreasonable. Anyway I will do my charity trackday ride in a supercar and use a Nissan micra Scott 360 isnt a bad call
Thank you guys for your input it has been helpful btw I thought SLS were depreciating badly here??
