    If you can easily rationalize the 70k difference i would go with the one from Florida.

    If money wasn't taken into consideration. I have a Perf and I would't trade it for a Speciale. A pista...thats a different story.

    A speciale however, will hold value better than any lambo!

    Go do some homework on them... 1.9 rating on cars.com (and that's 40 reviews not 3).

    I got screwed on a Lambo deal about 3 years ago (car not as described, kept playing pricing games, lied about title, thankfully I got my refund back after 2 months).

    They have a terrible reputation for good reason.

    Yes this is what I’ve read, just hoping there was a glimmer of integrity at that dealership.
    It’s such a huge bummer when dealers like this and Chicago Motorcars have such a bad reputation, especially when they carry cool cars that you’re interested in.

    Lol the funny thing is that car they have used to belong to Chicago Motorcars. They had it for a year and weren’t able to find a buyer, so it was probably offloaded to Bentley Gold Coast.

    It’s a cool spec regardless. It does have an aftermarket gangster sound system however, which probably increased it’s difficulty to sell.

    I don’t remember his name, I bought the 599 in June 2015 but everything was smooth. They also helped ship it to Boston.

    If I remember correctly - they had it listed on EBay, I just called they guy and made an offer, very little negotiating but I got a fair price. I have been offered more for the car just recently.

    I agree I love my wife of 26 years and still have incredible passion and love for her. I also have incredible passion and love for my 458 spider! Both are keepers!

    I agree too. Been with my wife for 20 years and I love her more today than ever before. She gave me two beautiful children and a great life. Best part is I like “driving” her even more than I like driving my cars.

    Picking up a white one!
    It’ll be close to my 16M spec although I’m contemplating adding CF rocker panels on the S to match the 16M....not sure tho if I should.
    2nd pic is not my S but shows CF rocker panels

    Cool. Personally not a fan of the rocker on Speciale.
