As an actual exotic/highline car dealer, you would be shocked how many vehicles sell at an actual loss. I sold a McLaren MP4-12C a month ago at a $5k loss because the car sat almost a year and we paid too much. I've also sold 911s that made $20k because we were able to buy them right. Not all car dealers are shady and those two lines are not lies 9/10 times. I've personally sold 4 cars this month out from under indecisive people who I told there was interest on the car and they needed to leave a deposit and they did not believe me.
Yeah.. when you start being life assertive you don't beed outdated bullshit institutions. People come and go.. Monogamy is against human nature regardless..

@@campkira there was a story about a wealthy german business man who daily drove his Bugatti Veyron...had something like 52,000 + miles on it...when asked if he was concerned about depreciation..he replied..."It was meant to be driven and enjoyed , and I can't take it with me when I die..."
There is good car haulers but they aren't cheap, the best would be the enclosed semi trucks, they have a car size tommy gates to lift the vehicles, and they can load a car with no ground clearance and store them horizontal.
My husband stumbled across this and was pleasantly surprised. He recognized the vin, he was the original owner of this mclaren. It gave us a lot of good memories. Cheers to you enjoying it!
how much for repair... yeah .. it not a well build car.. while my 370z just hit 10 years old.. and ionly spendlike couple 1000 buck on repair... and i had leftover money to move to living in japan... yeah... which had more fun?
I also liked the part where he leaves for California for a week and doesn't tell her why. That's either some serious trust they have in each other or some serious LACK of trust lol
These are the kind of stories I like hearing. Sometimes you choose the car, other times the car chooses you... it's much more fun when the latter happens.
I had a Mclaren 650s for over a year and sold it last week. I put over 3 thousand miles on it which isn’t much but I loved every second of it. Mclaren’s are truly under appreciated.
I have shared a very similar story with mine so far. Absolutely love my MP4-12C. Great for tracking, cruising, C&C's...does it all and has been incredibly reliable for me. 6 months of ownership and 6k miles...can't wait to enjoy more!!! :)
My father bought a brand new 12C in 2013 we had the car for 7 years it has 22k km on it the only issue we have had was a faulty airbag sensor and a faulty tire pressure sensor those were fixed and covered by the warranty at the time. Ever since then knock on wood the car has been flawless it still performs amazing, as long as you don't have one of the first 1000 cars and the car has been looked after properly by a McLaren dealer you should be fine getting one because they are amazing value for the money.
We have a 2012 McLaren 12C locally to us with like 102k miles. He told us during one of our rallies he had to take her car in once for a 50k mile service once and ask the mclaren dealer how much does a service like this generally cost? The technician responded, “I don’t know, we never done a 50k mile service before.”
Glad you have my guy a chance to share his story. I was thinking Sean was going to introduce the vinwiki community to his car audio competition van. Much love guys
If I were to buy a supercar at any point, The McLaren MP4-12C is definitely in my top 3! What a sick story! In no specific order the other 2 would be a Ferrari 458 italia/speciale or just a good ol' 911 GT3RS
I love hearing car people talk about putting miles on exotics. It’s the perfect antidote to all those cars I see for sale which were driven less than 1,000 miles per year. Same goes for motorcycles, too.
Great story. I was going to also buy a gallardo in 2011 as my first super car. Dealer in Miami was such an Ahole that it turned me off to the brand forever. I’m on my 3rd Mclaren. Love them. It’s just like he said, once in it, you don’t want to stop driving it
Its nice to see someone actually use their car. Also, I completely agree with the McLaren being a head turner. Lambo's and Ferrari's are dime a dozen these days.
Simple and Amazing narration of how cars make car guys happy... And also how it's okay to relax a week without the significant other and be yourself... Niiice
Reliable and McLaren are not two words I would associate together. Hoovies Garage did several videos of his 12c 6-figure repair bills. McLaren is a car I would drive...not a car I would own.
Hoovies Garage also did several videos saying he had ZERO problems out of the car while he had it. Those repair bills were BEFORE he got it. I've come to the conclusion his car was owner related, not car related.
Wait... Where was this car before Los Angeles? I believe it is my old Kiwi bird. Will have to look at the vin but 362 sounds familiar. If it has the carbon cover on the engine deck lid, it is it. Never saw another MP4 with that from Woking. Just checked. 362 was correct. Originally purchased in Dallas, sold to Viper exchange in Tomball. You ever need all the original paperwork, records. Hit me up.
My titanium car had mso carbon cover also as well as every other carbon you can check down to wheel arches and seat backs, minus oem wing. My mp4 coupe was 336
9600 Miles in a year on a McLaren. Go you! Good to see some people drive these cars like they're meant to be.. Purchased my '16 MX-5 Miata Grand Touring this time last year with 21K miles and right now it sits at 50,881 with nothing but basic maintenance. Been all over the country in her. Average mileage for a '16 MX-5 is low 30's.
I wonder if one of the reasons these things have a reputation for being unreliable is that people don’t drive them enough. It seems like super cars that actually get driven break less.
You're precisely correct. I encourage buying reasonable mileage cars of any kind for that reason. If it doesn't have at least a few thousand miles a year, it's likely to be problematic. I don't mean drive it once a year 1,000 miles either.
I collect 100 year old cast iron frame antique typewriters. I stopped buying 100 year old "standard size" antique typewriters because about one in three are destroyed in shipping. I had a friend that drove an car shipping truck this was back in the 70's. He always managed to damage older cars, there was just no space tolerances. Just had a friend ship a museum quality replica WWI plane partially disassembled via truck to his customer....it was damaged during shipping.
I've once driven almost 3000 spirited km (about 2000 miles) in 3 days time. This was in a diesel alfa romeo throughout france. fun times :) I will try to do it over in my mx5 in the near future
Did he autocross that car at the Jerry Sutton Training Complex in North Carolina? Last time I was there I saw a dark grey MP4 12C. I even have pictures of it!
961 miles in 5 days, the salesman was shocked it didn't break down. It's a McLaren afterall. I wonder how many steering boxes, computers & electrical gremlins he'll have to go thru.
Right, it's a McLaren, not an old Lamborghini, or a 10 year old Dodge. Steering boxes, computers, and electrical gremlins aren't common things on McLaren's. McLaren electrical gremlins are fixed by turning the car off and back on. BMW electrical gremlins are fixed by sending it to the crusher.
@@McMedics I do like BMW's but I didn't mention them (nor Borg's or Durge's LOL).

Wow. Can’t believe I’m seeing someone I know on here, I beat this guy at Autocross one time. Since then, he’s learned the course and become way faster than me in my Miata. Also his new exhaust setup sounds SCARY. It’s awesome. I just heard it this past Tuesday.
You missed the part where the owner of the dealership was using it as a driver. It wasn't for sale during that time, I bought it 1 day from it being listed.

@@calt2161 They appreciate though bro. Most exotics tend to double or even triple in value. Some of the rarer ones do way more than triple in value too.

Every vinwiki story involving shipping a car leads me to the conclusion that you should NEVER ship a car ANYWHERE
Do these companies ever really return the car condition to like it was or better?
I want to get into shipping cars just to prove that wrong, but I've realized the COST to make that happen is more than most people want to pay.

“The trek to buying my 1st Supercar took a very long time. Longer than I thought it was going to!” 😂 Well, NO SHIT! YOU DON’T SAY?! 🤣🤣 As if it’s an easy task. I’m glad you did all the hard legwork to show us how to be able to get a Supercar the easy way! 😉
Champion! Use and enjoy it till the wheels fall off
That car is so much cooler than a Lambo. Excellent buy.
In hindsight, I never should have looked at a Gallardo, I definitely ended up with the right car.
"My wife AT THE TIME doesn't know I've bought the Maclaren".... that pretty much sums up the the first supercar purchase experience
8:16 Your friends all drive Porsches, you must make amends.

That last sentence is what owning your dream car is all about. Whether it's a supercar or a hot-hatch. If you can say "every single mile is absolutely loved", then you know you made the right choice. You only get one shot at life; make it the best you can. Great video 👍
960 miles in a week
*laughs in delivery driver*
That’s a slow week for me, usually more like 1500-1800 miles per week. Granted I’m not delivering packages in a McLaren, as fun (albeit impractical) as that would be
Glad he enjoys his car
Yooo South OC Cars and Coffee at 6:44. My favorite car show.
underground racing is absolutely insane.
