gangzoom Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/uk-car-sales-figures-skewed-retailer-self-registrations-says-insider Some of the current finance/deals are crazy, apparently the mad Golf R deals are back. Something like £250/month without much down payment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I highly doubt McLaren only sold 18 cars in the UK last year. They have 6 showrooms, so that would mean they only sold 3 cars per dealer, or one car every four months. I'm sure they're profitable, but they're not that profitable!

Ekona Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 There's 46 McLarens from the Sports and Super Sports series from 2016 for sale on PH alone right now. A couple are 0 miles, a couple are LHD, but even ignoring those that's well above the 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 McLaren themselves have 16 2016 cars available on their website... Okay, I'll stop now, point made... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine there is a significant difference in numbers of cars "registered" in the UK, the source of the figures, as opposed to "sold" as well. Interesting figures, I see that Bentley have almost doubled the number registered, as have Jaguar. Some big fat commission cheques there then.

G1en Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 MG 4192 sales. So Thats where sky news got its story from that mental illness is on the rise in the uk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I doubt it's that much though, given that RHD cars are pretty much only ever going to be used here, Japan or Australia. And I can't see someone in Jap or Aus buying a car there and registering it here (or vice versa). Nope, there's no two ways about it, those numbers for McLaren are miles and miles out, which means I'm not sure how far to trust the other figures.

Ebized Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 When I saw that figure for McLaren it was not lone before I saw this article suggesting they had sold more than 1500 cars in 2016. http://en.f1i.com/ne...cord-sales.html Something not right somewhere.

LRF4N Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm sure Iv seen almost 18 different mclarens in the Glasgow area Don't worry Dan I'm with you- that list is wrong dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) If you go on "How many left", I know it only goes up to 2014, and search Mclaren, there is an interesting entry that says "missing" 504. I kid you not, link below. Where on earth have 504 Mclarens gone? https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Mclaren Probably a couple registered as a mobility scooter or milkfloat to avoid the congestion charge.

I assume it's just the ones where the name isn't specified (missing from the records, maybe custom?). Also I thought they stopped selling the SLR ages ago?

Willsy1980 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Unless the figures for McLaren are just the amount of failed Kers units Jenson had last season and it's a tax dodge of some sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
