We already know that McLaren has made its homework for the US market return, with the MP4-12C being exempted from the gas guzzler tax, but certain customers also need financial support for making the supercar their own.
Thus, the carmaker has teamed up with Putnam Leasing, a Connecticut-based company that finances low-volume premium vehicles. The two had previously worked together and McLaren isn’t regarded as an all-new company by its new partner, which means that the rates should be decent for this kind of financing.
“The difficulty is, not only is there a new car, it’s a new automotive company. You’ve got to find a finance company that really, really knows that market. That’s where the bulk of their (Putnam’s) experience is; in super-luxury cars, super-sports cars,” McLaren’s North American director was quoted as saying by Automotive News.
The McLaren Mp4-12c, which retails for $231,400 is available since last month and the company wants to sell a total of 150 units in 2013.
