I'm a firm believer in "I bought it, its mine, you don't get to tell me what I can and can't do with it." However, you also can't expect them to honor a warrantee on something used in a way they didn't intend. If you used, for example, a snow blower, to dig a trench, and then expected the manufacturer to honor the warrantee, you're nuts. But they should still be willing to sell you parts for it. Why not? You're going to be their best customer after all.

[@nikolatasev4948]

On one hand, McLaren should have a "rental racing" warranty plan, more expensive, of course. It benefits their brand to have people trying out their cars, even if the car amortization is about to be higher. On the other hand, this is a sports car, not a race car.

Yeah if you sell me a car and didn’t tell me it was on the race track we’re gonna have a fight

[@oneeleven9832]

McLaren have a truly terrible reputation I’d be surprised if they are still in business in 10yrs..did a trackday experience in a 570s & i bust the door handle getting out of it. Came away in my hand…bought a brand new 911 had it 18 months and absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it.

[@vampyratexd]

Real Question... will he ever have a CCX-R or any other Scandinavian Super/Hyper car?

[@Leightspeed_]

Once he said "anything under Bugatti" my mind immediately went to Koenigsegg.

[@CrackedCandy]

Under 500k...I think that removes a K car

[@MidshipRunabout2]

Not gonna lie I read that as CR-X and thought that would be funny.

@@darrengriffin3794 good thing he's not taking directly to him, he's asking people in the comments also it's not uncommon for people that tell their stories on here to show up in the comments to answer questions, kid

Question: What happens when McClaren blacklists you VinWiki: Do what you can do get back in their good graces... Me: Go back to becoming a regular person. 98% of us has gotten along without a McClaren..soooo you will be OK sugar.

[@jiveturkey9993]

Sounds like owning one of those cars is nothing but a chronic blood-sucking migraine.

[@swisschoco25]

@@jiveturkey9993 ..Agreed.

[@joshwekony8861]

You mean 99.99%

[@joshwekony8861]

98% would be 1in 50 approx over 350k mclarens in the world, which their are not

You should get in touch with Tavarish

“You are using a car wrong by racing it and not driving it on the road”….it’s a fucking supercar lol

[@Sac_slappper_4rce]

Black listed by McLaren? AAA must be pissed.

[@JoeMaxFpv]

Now that I’m older and wiser I’d be happy to just drive a gated car leisurely around the track. The representative would look at me funny but my experience would be bliss just feeling mid range torque and enjoying myself. I don’t want to push a car like I’m 20. Just enjoy the drive.

[@tsherwoodrzero]

So where''s the Dacia Sandero? Call the experience "James May for a day"

[@jaynederp5236]

a windshield washer tank broke the entire 200k car? And they pulled the warranty... How in the actual fuck?

[@johnhufnagel]

he then noted electrical, and subsequent engine issues. my guess... the washer tank exploded, causing electronics to get wet, with their subsequent issues causing engine problems.

[@TorturedPeace]

That guy just isn’t even from the same planet that I live on…

Dude, if you are gonna "bondo under the hood and I sold them for more... " maybe those should be some "in-your-head" only conversations...

[@chadjackson4786]

I noticed nobody rents ford GT's. Not even the 2005 cars. Literally nobody had one for rent anywhere it seemed. Now you can't get the new one. Its not like the msrp was that high on the 05. Even used ones are under 300 for high miles cars.

[@sal5440]

It's funny how people spend so much money on cars from brands that dictate retarded amounts of stuff for you and your vehicle. One day a brand that overbuilds it's vehicles and wants to please consumers is going to break the supercar world.

[@gshell2520]

That's insane electronics going out on a brand new several hundred thousand dollars car I'd never buy another one what a 💩

[@goaway3717]

So you bought a car from the dealer for commercial (rental) use, told the dealer is was for personal use only and expected them and the manufacturer to fix everything your customers did to the car on the race track? I'm pretty sure the dealer and manufacturer had seen your kind of scammer before and out scammed you because they've been around the block more than a few times before you showed up. You're a fine example of why I'll never buy one of these fancy over priced sports cars used or new.

[@Joe___R]

The best advice I can give you is never buy a british built car. They are never reliable in the long run & will always cost more than they are worth if you want to keep them on the road.

[@gregsouza5748]

Constantly we here of Maclaren issues, there are many other KZbinrs with blown out motors (DDE, 720 GTR) fires (salamondrin ‘s Senna burned down was treated absolutely horribly, till 3 years later after other Sennas caught fire) and many more with breakdowns. They won’t get my money till I see some major changes at the company. Thankfully there are so many other great options to buy.

[@tinncan]

I was all ready to be mad at McLaren, but this guy sounds like a tool trying to hide abuse of the factory warranty... McLaren still sucks though..

[@chubbysumo2230]

Moss Magnuson Warranty Act says the onus is on McLaren for proving how his usage caused the issues. Company cannot simply void a warranty cuz you do something outside of their expected parameters when purchasing something. As the owner, you can do whatever you want with something, manufacturer may not think it's normal, but that isn't their decision. Sounds like McLaren needs to meet the US legal system.

[@olly_1558]

They googled him and saw he was renting it for random people to rag it on track

[@phillipturner5853]

the mclaren was broke down the day i reserved one when they came came to GA. it broke my heart.

[@JoeyBaby47]

So McLaren makes a race car but it is not to be used as a race car?

[@racekar80]

The difference between a sports car company and a company that just want to sell to rich people to look good at cars and coffee

[@manuelr.s6328]

Wow...a company telling what to do and what not to do with your own car which you bought...insane...

[@sarahdell4042]

Lotus Evora GT might be a good contender. Reliable drivetrain

[@Falconsgang8988]

Heck ya was wanting to hear from one of the xtreme experience guys lol i wanna go to their chicago location

[@livingon2wheels]

Yeah man, when McLaren blacklisted me I replied "You're dead to me!" and THAT is why I do not drive a McLaren today.

[@pilotstiles]

If I’m laying 200k for a car I expect it to last forever

[@WhitfieldProductionsTV]

65% value loss, you would of gotten, maybe 40k out of me. since I dont buy for name.

[@serendipity_gaming]

Does his social just say “we want to drive maclarens” now 🤣

[@robvanderkroft6515]

The only thing that should be focused on is how he sold his McLarens with defects and didn't tell the new owners. Scumbag move .

[@P4SDetails]

What happens when McLaren doesn’t even know you are? Nothing ha ha. Absolutely nothing. Life’s still amazing.

[@fredfrederickson]

I thought the xtreme xperience was cool but the 488 I drove felt like the laggiest car I’ve ever been in and I drive a two turbo BMW. I was literally flooring and it felt like it took 2-3 for the car to do anything at all, but according to them the cars are completely “unrestricted” so idk 🤷🏼‍♂️
