    I’ve had a 2012 12c for almost 2 years and 12k miles. Right now there is no better performance/exotic/dollar ratio out there IMO.
    Throw in awesome looks and insane road feel with solid warranty and these cars are a steal. I’m with Robin, the only thing that I’m working towards is a 720s.

    The stories about transmissions and steering racks are overblown, and are covered under warranty anyway. The steering rack YouTube video was by a guy who had his 12c in an exotic rental fleet... yeah, it’s going to get some donuts, curb jumping, and other abuse thrown at it by yahoos. The headlight issue is real, but I’ve read McLaren is coming out with an official fix for this problem, we’ll see. Somebody figured out how to DIY it, and McLaren Newport Beach currently offers a fix for about $1800 all-in.

    McLaren is really kicking ass. Haven’t driven a 570 but will at some point, I’m sure they’re great.

    Well......After sniffing around these cars for a couple of years, I've narrowed it down to a Mac Orange 570S w/track pack, or a 675LT in delta red.

    It's closer than I have come yet. I haven't been this excited about a car since I flew in to pick up an F40!

    Rumor has 570 “LT” faster than 675LT. Not sure what that will do to values. If you like tracking, 675LT is clearly superior to 570S.

    All these cars are very competent on road and track. I've been an instructor for 25 years and frankly a competent driver in a golf GTi would run circles around most exotic owners.

    For me, I have the CS (which is about as raw and engaging as they come), a 570 with a track pack will fit the bill.

    If you buy slightly used, someone else has taken the big hit. So, hopefully it won't be worth nada in a few years. I'll keep watching the 720 market, as I've got to think as soon as the next shiny object comes out, there will be a bunch at half price.

    4 years from now will be the replacement for the 720, LT in about 2 1/2 years. New car prices on the 720 went up on the 19's. This certainly wont last forever but McLaren is starting to figure it out.

    Well.... it looks like a Mac will be sharing garage space with the CS! Can't wait for it to arrive!

    OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod !!!!!!

    Fits right in with my collection. Hoping to replace TurboS with a GS or GT F12 in the next week or two.

    If you ever go to sell, call me. Depending on whatever else I have going on at that exact moment, I may be interested.

    Beautiful car.

    Mike

    LNToast, how did you post a picture of my car that I took on my phone and never shared publicly? I don't mind at all, but just curious ...

    I looked at all of my posts here and McLarenLife and didn't see it posted anywhere. Strange indeed...

    Eugene, you very generously took me (Eric) to the CT Children's Medical Center during the 2018 Ferrari and Friends show. the picture was from my phone, not yours. Sorry for the delay in posting this, I have not been on the site in some time. Hope all is well.
