    If I recall correctly, this car had an accident history on its ebay free history report.

    Since Bill Nucci Sr. sold his interest in Lamborghini Chicago, there are no customer appreciation parties and it seems that they've had the same inventory for 2 years..... I had a friend trying to buy a car there and the sales staff was very uneducated and the sales manager Jim had a really bad attitude. He kept saying we work on a small profit where other dealers are making 50k profit on their cars, so he should be lucky that he's getting this great deal.

    What kind of sales skills is that? It's no wonder that this car and the many others they've had for quite sometime are still there. I guess they're content selling only a few cars a month.

    I took a look at the car a few days ago. I guess it's been there a while. The exterior was pretty nice, I'll give it that. The interior was rough but salvageable if you had patience. Engine compartment was okay looking. It started right up and sounded good. But after doing a little more looking, I think it's priced about $10,000 too high, even after their "price reduction." The salesman I spoke to seemed nice and fairly knowledgeable.

    Andrew, can you determine whether this car came from the Denver area before it found its way to the Midwest? And, if it did, send me a PM, and I'll fill you in on what I know about the car.

    Hello everyone, I bought the car you are referring to. I was able to secure all the service records from the Ferrari dealer on Long Island. The Carfax on the car is clean, and the accident record on the Auto Check file was an $1850.00 repair done to the right rear quarter panel repaired at the Ferrari dealer on Long Island. The car has had every service required including the 15k timing belt service. The car is going to the interior shop to have the gauge pod, drivers seat bulster, and passenger air bag recovered. Also the elastic bands for the top are being replaced at the same time. I repaired the sticky HVAC panel. The car drives like a dream as I have put 1000 miles on it in three weeks. I love this car. With only 15800 miles on it I think I will keep this one quite a while!!!!! Also guys the car did not come from Denver though it will end up there someday.

    I'm glad it went to someone that's going to bring it up to par. Like I said, the exterior looked good. It looks like you're addressing the other issues. And I remember that they had just completed the major engine service (timing belt) there at the dealer. You should get many years and many miles of enjoyment from the car. It was just out of my price range... I could afford the car but would have nothing left over for maintenance, refurbishing, or the all of a sudden oh sh*t event. Just not where I wanted to be. Sounds like you're going to treat her nice.

    Enjoy!

    Thank you Andrew, the previous owner had Contenintal Motorsports do the timing belt and all the pulleys. I still have a CEL on and I am going to make an appointment at Euroquipe to diagnose it for me, but I think it is a cat. I had my techs look at and thats what think anyway. I feel I got a great deal on the car, but I am also a dealer and I do alot of business with Bill Nuccio Sr and he helped me with the purchase. I will keep you update on the progress, it is a great car!!
