    Hi all
    i have been offered a murci roadster at what i consider a reasonable amount over list
    this car has been offered by

    AutoBrokers Ltd
    Hawthorne House,
    Stubs Beck Lane,
    West 26 Business Park,
    Cleckheaton,
    West Yorkshire.
    BD19 4TT.

    Tel: 01274 875100
    Fax: 01274 875200

    the car is to be supplied by lambo london ...full uk spec warranty etc ...so they say

    anyone have any experience with these guys

    i have heard some nasty stories in the past of specialists where yr money disappears never to be seen again ...delivery dates/schedules not kept to and the most that concerns me is warranty claims rejected

    would like to hear yr views and have yr advise

    another disadvantage i have is i wont be in england until may end so will have to do most things by phone etc ...so inspections etc are going to be problem

    best to all

    I just looked at their accounts online and did a high level credit check.

    No warranty as to the accuracy of the data but:
    They are credit rated "Normal. Limited Risk Potential. Normal Terms."
    Have no CCJs outstanding
    Were Profitable (yr end 04/04)
    and were founded in 1997.

    I've no direct experience of them to call on.

    What is the waiting list like directly from Lambo London? Im guessing much longer since you are considering this broker.

    I guess they have just got on the waiting list very early through their contact network and are looking to essentially sell the space? I'm surprised Lambo london allow brokers to do that, or perhaps the broker bought it off a person who was on the list... either way I guess you could ask and then check out their story.

    i wouldnt pay a premium for this car, i dont think there will be that much interest due to the fact Lambo say you shouldnt drive the car with the roof on over 90 mph !!

    Lambo London have a black one coming in soon that is unsold, they offered it to me, i think Lambo Manchester have an Orange one for sale, check the pics in the Lambo driving day section posted by steveF, they offered me this one too ! All at list

    There is a thread in the lambo section where the US guys were saying they arent selling well in the US and some are selling under list !

    Be very wary, maybe talk to a Tom Hartley or someone and ask their advice !

    90mph limit is with the roof on. You can do 200 with the roof off.

    Surely somebody will develop an aftermarket CGT style roof for it?

    Gotta say that after the overt exterior styling (which is gorgeous), the interior is a little - well - dull! Perhaps an area of Audi's influence that isn't needed?

    The windscreen was quoting monthly payments of £1998 but I don't know for how long, deposit etc. Thought they were around +£30k over a normal Murci.

    Dull to look at maybe, but it's fun to unscrew it as you drive down the road. The one I had for a week was definately made by Lamborghini - you could unscrew most of it whilst driving along. Indeed some of it vibrated loose. Didn't bother me much, all part of the character.

    Are the Roadsters being delivered now then? I saw a titanio one together with a regular Murcielago outside my house last week - assumed they were Lamborghini London's demonstrators...

    Agree completely with reggie here. I personally would never pay over list for anything. In my opinion that's just money for nothing. Just imagine what they would offer you for the car if you drove it back with a view to sell it back to them 2 months later.
    I bet you could get a discount if they have one in stock. The Supercar market is a tough cut throat world, like most markets. I think you just need the balls to ask for a discount, be present with the cheque book out to back it up. This is my opinion of course; please don’t take offence as none is intended.
