You guys notice you here alot of "my wife at the time" on these videos..lol.
Yet another reason why you should never get married lol
Hear*
Lmao
I was literally just thinking this
Yooooo I'm dead
"I'm going to drive the crap out of it"
McLaren Salesman: sweating intensely
I’ve been told by a mclaren salesman, “I wouldn’t by a mclaren for another 10 years at least too many problems “ 🥴
@@talhahkhan7696 I bet that McLaren salesman didn't sell any McLaren's, and probably doesn't sell cars at all now.
"I'm going to drive the crap out of it"
McLaren Salesman: "Let's not go ahead of ourselves too much"
"ekhm, (mumbles) We shall see about that...."
@@McMedics nah maybe he just values truth over money.
@@SpenserRoger Claims he values truth over money, sells cars. Yeah, we believe you....
Classic car dealer lines:
1. We've had people trying to buy this out from under you while we wait for your financing to come through.
2. You're getting such a good deal on this car that we're losing money on it!
I was thinking the same thing, and with Ed in the room no less. I'm sure he was laughing to himself imagining all the times he's said those words.
If they won’t budge on the price then it’s best just to laugh to yourself and use it in the future to improve your own sales pitch by varying the lines a little.
LOL, Right! meanwhile the car has been sitting on the lot for months!!!!!
I thought the same, but it was really true! After I'd committed to buying is when he told me about the other people because he didn't want to sound like "that guy". He actually did show me the paperwork showing what they paid because I didn't believe him.
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.
The odds may not have been in his favor but I am glad to see he hasn't experienced a significant issue. Keep racking up the miles Sean!
Best car for under $150k for tomorrow, think I'll buy a certain Gallardo on AutoTempest with some prior flood damage :D
Best cars for $75k?
$75k is next week. Then money no object.
@@VINwiki So then is "I'd buy an F1 Team" an acceptable choice?
These cars really are the best value, I truly do love driving mine!
"My wife at the time didn't know I was in California to buy a car."
Ah, the "at the time" makes sense now.
Was thinking the same!
It would be interesting to find out if she got to drive it.

Yeah.. when you start being life assertive you don't beed outdated bullshit institutions. People come and go.. Monogamy is against human nature regardless..
And she didn't know why he went to Cali either lol
Literally only mentioned depreciation ONCE on an MP4-12C of all cars and spent the whole video talking about driving it. Now this man deserves his car
“How I stole a McLaren” *purchases it with money like any other person would*
Good story but I had the same thought.
"I'm going to drive the crap out of it!
McLaren transmission: *sweating*
McLaren interior pieces: *sweating*
McLaren warranty: *chilling, ready to deny all claims*
5 tanks.. that is not cheap..
"My wife *at the time*..." Let me guess, she didn't know you purchased the car? "...didn't know I purchased the car."
@Granpda Corey I don't think that's exactly why they split lol
@Granpda Corey I missed the scam
Granpda Corey wair how did he scam
I like stories about supercars where the owner really uses the car instead of putting it in a showroom.
the whole point of spending moeny so you can had experience that you will never had on normal car...
@@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..."
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.
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.
I've shipped my car overseas and back to the US. My car was fine.
Ian Visser Not that easy. You know how much insurance you need for that??
"she thought it cost 1/3 of what I actually paid for it"... Well it does now
I bet she was pretty happy it was worth more when they got divorced...
They are going up now

@@anidiotinaracingcar4874 stole mean it cheaper than market price... this due to it a owner car.. so he had alot of mile on it...
Are McLarens that bad?
@@ernestolupercio3168 you can check out Hoovies series on one of the mclarens
Some say this man plays Russian Roulette alone for fun
with all but one chamber loaded
Alone..., but with a camera running,so it can be put up on Ytube....,by his x wife.
Plays Russian roulette with a glock and wins
Man didn't spend 300k on a car to stare at it. He bought it to drive the damn thing.
My 12C was great. Drove it all the time. They're a steal right now if you're wanting a stupid fast car.
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?
@@campkira uh, the person in the McLaren had way more fun. Nissan VQs are gross af
@@colormesarge lmaoo yo I'm weak 😂😂
@@campkira dont ever compare your nissan to a mclaren again
@@Th3Mavr1ck a Nissan is a lot better. I've audited McLaren's for clients , I wouldn't recommend one.
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!
Owner #1? I'd love to have any info or documentation he's still got.
Finally a real owner commenting on these cars and how great they are. Well done.
Best line in this video: "My wife (at the time) also does not know that I have purchased this car" lol
David Min right totally makes sense it was at the time
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
That man has balls taking a wrench to his own Mclaren I’m trying to be like that one day
He probably wants the job done right.
They're really not hard to work on. At the end of the day, it's still just a car.
"Wrench" may be the wrong word.
I have a 570s and I have replaced a starter my self and basic fluid changes my self
I heard they aren’t the worst to work on. That’s actually promising given that some of the super cars are absolutely awful to work on.
12c under rated and under appreciated.
Yeah it looks so incredibly good. If I ever have the money I will get myself one.
"I told my wife I was going to California, I did not tell her why I was going to California" somehow that's the most unbelievable part of this story.
Right?
I know him. Its believable.
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.
The real joke here is a “reliable mclaren” lol
Exactly
The newer ones are more reliable then the first ones that came out. Streetspeed717 had one and drove the crap out of it hard and never had issues.
Give him a few thousand miles, after 50, the engine'll pop.
BLISSFUL FAPPER yeah his 720s did break....
@@theepicricemaker6611 Is that what happened to your McLaren?
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!!! :)
It’s no wonder all these guys have to tell a story with “my wife at the time”
😂
When you daily a McLaren women come & go
Do y get married. Problem solved.
Tomorrow's "What would you buy?" panel will be discussing a $150k budget. What do you think the best option is?
Alfa 4C
R34 gtr v-spec II nur
A dodge demon with an extra $50 thousand for as many tires as you’ll go through edit: also 25k for tires and 25 k for maintenance, it’s a dodge
Well, in europe you can get a manual lp640 murcielago for 120k I think one’s on sale in germany for that price
Probably a fleet of Corollas
Good on ya for driving this like it's meant to be! Great story, thank you for sharing.
[insert Hoovie facepalm gif]
I've always seen "multiple offers" and "sniping" as conman pressure sales tactic.
The car was already sold though, I was signing the paperwork when he said it.
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.
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 👍
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
I still could!
i love this guys story telling techniques
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.
I'm #362 and it's good to go.
“The most reliable mclaren”, that’s one of the best positive words heard in 2020😅👍🏻
Mr EMF is pretty good at telling stories.
Great video
Most slept on channel I’m not even a car guy and im entertained
These stories are great. Thanks for sharing
3:18 for real when you said "find me one of those mclaren's" i got a uber eats ad saying "what have you done" 😂
It’s ol “Boffem” Great story Sean !
Thought it was spelled Bowfum?
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
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
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.”
spolier: he didn't "steal" anything. he got it for a "good price" lmfao
Not even that great of a price
"steal" is generally slang for getting a "good price"
He is a total moron
@@markjurczyk he's in the financial position to purchase a 300k McLaren, he can't be that much of a moron.
Am I missing something massive over here? All the MP4-12C vehicles that I've seen list for just over $100,000 on used car websites. How is $300,000 anywhere close to a "good deal"? Is this some sort of special edition version of the car?
Love the blue tape autocross numbers at 11:30
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
This man is talented great spirt & story telling!! We need to see him more!!!
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.
imagine spending so much money only to cry about depreciation
Yooo South OC Cars and Coffee at 6:44. My favorite car show.
Love the color. Seems like a sweet ride.
Thank God someone drives these machines and not showcase in a museum!
Ed, are you going to release a video regarding the new Cannonball Record in the rental Mustang?
GOOD MAN, for actually Drivin your car!! Even -I- would give it a break soon though lol.
I got to see Sean’s 12C a few months ago and it sounded so good with the downpipes that are on it. Very unusual car to see where I live 😂😂
The title of this video had me on edge. All the way through I was waiting for the story to go south.
When he said he found a Gallardo in Atlanta, I started to snicker and wonder if it was baby blue, spider, and the seller's name was Ed.
Love the McLaren MP4-12C, I’m so grateful for the price point.
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
This guy drives his supercar properly, so good to hear of him taking the car out and properly using it!
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.
Yes, it's the only one I've seen with a carbon deck lid! I'd love the original paperwork. Shoot me a message on Facebook or Instagram @emfautos
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.
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!
That's me, though my other channel is on the car @emfautos
I know im not going to sleep when I start watching car stories
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.
"My wife *at the time*..."
It was inevitable lol!
vinwiki and rabbit get me through the workday
we finally have a basshead on VINWiki :P
someone else caught it too EMF
Very nice story ! I want MP4, are you happy with this car ? No issues reported ?
"So anyway, I started blasting. Blam, blam!"
*Vinwiki music plays*
Is it bad I have used those exact sales lines with customers 😂🤷♂️
The difference being I actually saw it, the paperwork specifically.
Lol good for him driving that car! Car deserves an owner like him that is a true enthusiast that's gonna drive the hell out of it.
I suspect that what really surprised the dealer was that he had never seen an mp4-12c complete 900 consecutive miles without a warranty claim!
Champion! Use and enjoy it till the wheels fall off
He needs to meet up with Damon and Dave from DDE! Hell yea man! Drive it!
Need a video on the sound system you put in this.
Cars are meant to be driven. To not drive them is in my opinion wasteful. 👊 right on, man. Good luck with the maintenance!😬
The maintenance is cheap.
We need Ed to do more stories
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.
My wife “at the time” also did not know I purchased this car. The McLaren was obviously more reliable - well played my friend - sub’d!
I really do like these, I even considered one after the R8, but the maintenance costs terrified me! So kudos on the big balls haha.
Maintenance is cheap when you don't have the dealer doing it with dealer prices. See for yourself on my channel th-cam.com/play/PLSWWCAvN3ayJVF-Z3PNn3a_BubXIJRvDy.html
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.
People seem to dig the exhaust, I'm glad, it's my own creation.
@@EMFAudio Yeah man. It's AWESOME! I wish I got a video last Tuesday.
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). The web is FULL of McLaren's & their copious problems BUT if you're happy with your car (which is all that truly matters) then I'm happy for you. Be well & go for a blast thru the Smoky's for me. I miss living in East TN.
That's a gorgeous car! I've always pictured myself getting a gated manual V10 Audi R8 as my first super car
They had It in inventory for half a year but everyone was trying to buy it from under you overnight lol. I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
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.
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.
7:00 “wife at the time” I wonder why that didn’t work out 😂
In general it's kind of tough driving fast on an LA freeway unless you have Speed Racer Mach 5 jacks.
Wife: "I'm not happy and how dare you buying that car for so much"
Newly Happy Supercar Owner: "I dare to be happy"
“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! 😉
Holy fuck, its the EMF guy.
underground racing is absolutely insane.
Wow such a deal!
Loved the video, really made me laugh about your wife not knowing the price. Am toying with the idea, as I believe the MP4 will become a classic. A 2013 model with 10k on the clock and full history in the UK so around 100k.
So Sean....can I co-drive it at the next event? Lol!
How is your co-insurance? :-)
Last time I was this early, the Mustang was still showroom new.
this can be red
@@oooCrackerooo lol I remember that porsche
Ohh fuck!! When worlds collide. I love emf audio and I love vinwiki. Never thought I'd see the day.
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.
Cool video man
Glad he enjoys his car
