i hope your brother got a deal on the car. i know toward the end a lot of people got very sweet deals on their cars

i can also say i tend to see quite a bit more gallardo, that's probably why sales of lambo isn't down as much

I remember reading a headline that said Lambo was locating and taking those cars back that were sold at ridiculously low prices. Lol, the story said they were selling brand new $400k Murcielago Roadsters for $100k. That sweet deal didn't last to long.

lol sounds like a good way for the new owner to make money after driving for a yr

i wonder under what basis is lambo on to take back those cars?

in any case, very ugly scenario, but then i think about it, consider the number of lambo the 3 dealerships sold that month, maybe that "helped" lambo to achieve the 40% number and not more, haha

I remember reading that VAG was never paid for the sale of those cars. The owner of the dealership never paid up and used that money for personal reasons. The customers were given the cars, and the owner tried to hide the fact that the cars were still on the lot. Since VAG still owns those "stolen" cars, they can repo it.

I'd have to find that link. It even had the list of all the cars that were sold and the price.

so in the end the customers lose the money? that doesn't sound right especially if they have a signed contract and if they got registration from dmv

either way very interesting story
