McLaren Automotive has come a long way in the last decade and while the original MP4-12C didn’t receive the same critical acclaim as its rival, the Ferrari 458 Italia, it is still a very impressive car and now, is available for very reasonable prices on the used car market.
A browse through the classifieds reveals that there are dozens of used MP4-12Cs on sale in the United States, many of which are being offered for less than $100,000. That’s quite cheap compared to the supercar’s original MSRP of $229,000 in 2012. This particular MP4-12C for sale through Bring A Trailer is one example that could prove to be a real bargain.
