Strong position then. I was offered £12k off a brand new 12C up at £178k with a list of £212k. Total reduction of £47k but I didn't buy it
Wow! 23% discount off a new 12C. I assume less discount for a car ordered to your spec?

Don't see point of buying a 12C anymore unless its dirt cheap. When these hit the used car market late 12c's are going to take a big hit IMHO
Obviously I am not really impartial as I just bought one, but I see the 12C keeping loosing value over the winter, like any other sportscars, but start to get stronger next year and in the medium term even take some of their value back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5h8cx9BGR8

Explanation: the 12C is a more timeless design then the 650S. In my very own opinion, the 650s is the hugliest car ever made except in black.... The 12C are already 20k less then a comparable mileage/age 458 and there are, again IMO, head and shoulder in front of them.
And if you put in the mix weak oposition from the likes of Lamborghini Huracan, or the fact the next baby McLaren will have less power, will not have the fancy doors and come in at the price of current used 12C, it will help future residual values.
One last point. Wait until McLaren starts winning again in F1 and then we will see a lot less cars up for grabs and many more buyers !

Don't disagree, I think they are terrific value for money and will bounceback from the £100k mark. Its just a case of buying at the right time which I don't think is quite yetExplanation: the 12C is a more timeless design then the 650S.

Personally I prefer the 650S front end as I thought that was the only thing that let the 12C down as it was too plain

Was that at the London dealership? if so red or yellow car?
It was on the red one which maybe sold now reading another thread but I can't see why they wouldn't do the same on the yellow one if you're interested in it The 650 is SLIGHTLY more advanced than the 12C, but the new front end splits opinion and the side vanes look very kit car. It however is not £100k better than a used 12C......these cars are the performance bargain of the decade, and in years to come we will talk about how cheap they once were in 2014.......
