    Was offered 3 new Balbonies that are still at the factory, new and unsold. They had priced the cars with a huge discount that looked like it may have been invoice or below on all the cars.
    According to a Dealer parts have become difficult to get with some parts back ordered for 2 months or month. Recently Lamborghini has reported some changes to its US personel who run the parts distribution in the US. I waited 2 months + for a Warranty part myself.
    With prices of new Lamborghini's falling off a cliff once the owner drives it off the lot there is a lot to disuade one from buying these cars. Even Ferrari is affected.
    I declined the offer and feel that it may be quite a while before I get back into the market if I ever do. Times they are a changing.

    I cannot remember exactly as I threw the information away as I was not interested. Best I can remember is that the discount was about 50K on an Msrp of about $250. As I recall all three cars were Egear.
    I really have enjoyed Lamborghini's over the years and own 3 of them. However I am concerned about the future of this company.

    Don't worry about the future.

    The best years for Lamborghini (and most other car companies) are a few years ago.

    Some Balboni's are advertised $35k+ off msrp but when you call they immediately knock off a little more....Sad but think back to the days "not long ago" when dealers were selling cars above msrp, think about how many fools wished they had their cash back in their bank accts instead of having the distinction of paying over msrp for a car :rolleyes:

    I had sold a couple of 599s for 200 over a few years ago, and I remember thinking, "these guys are going to regret this". I even tried to talk one guy out of it, but he HAD to have it!
