Is there any record of it being a demo down the road?
I got duped when i bought my current car. was suppose to be a 3 owner car, but just as i was going to register it the story changed. Ended up being a 5 owner and a former US car. Reason being the 1st owner took the car to the US from Canada registered it there lived there for a couple tears amd then came back and reregistered it in Canada. Its not such a big problem but it is a stain on the ownership now being a 6 owner car. Mostly it just left me with a bad taste in my mouth on day of registeration.
Did you buy it privately? Already paid for it at the point of registration?

Demos have the chance at being low mileage or beat to hell and put away wet kind of rides. What kind was this one?
It was low mileage just 50 miles.
Having said that, the price he gave was exactly the same as a new one - called a couple of dealers and they gave the exact same discount for new cars.
I don't have a problem with a low mileage demo car. Just had an issue with the fact that it should have been disclosed prior to taking my money, that's all!

Thanks everybody for the replies and help - much appreciated!
Yes, it was Tom who did the deal and didn't do the disclosure. I don't know about the warranty because I never asked and he didn't say.
When it was subsequently shown to be a demo car (it was a tiny box ticked on the sales form), I declined to purchase because I felt it was inappropriate that it was represented as a new car.
As the same with most of my deals I did the deal just based off a handshake and gentlemen's agreement. It's too bad I wasn't afforded the same graciousness from the dealership but I will give them the benefit of the doubt at this juncture and assume they actually thought it made no difference. Perhaps!
Brian sorted it out for me and I got my wire refund today (finally). Thank you kind sir!
And on that note : does anybody have a car for sale???
-
There is definitely wear and tear on demo cars. They usually have a few thousand miles and are sold as used cars.
Never wire funds until you are ready to pick up the car. I usually do a cashiers or personal check instead.
Yeah I'm from out of state though, and I didn't think that any official dealer would represent a car other than what it was.
Why bother? The client is always going to want to cancel after anyway right?? Or maybe times are bad and this is the best way to move cars :/

I don't know 100% how lambo is structured now with Audi, but I'd get in contact with the head lambo off in the USA and let them know the situation.
I had 2 deposits on 2 SV's with a dealer, and goy them back instantly. No questions. Timing was bad for me. Dealer was 1111000000% honorable. Back east is where they are at, great dealer,
I'm from Vegas, however last few years I've been in la mostly. I've never bought cars in vegas(a couple Bentley's & a few Benz for employees) car dealers there are pricks because your trapped, there's nothing but rocks for 300 miles any direction you go. So they bend you over, games(your case)
Even worse are the lawyers there. Which is why I suggested lambo corporate.
Pm me who you dealt with. That mite help, shoot me your phone as well, I still have biz and property in vegas, been tied in there since 91.
Can't promise I can fix it, can promise to help
Best

Hey Eric, how's it going?
Thanks for the advice. I'm not from Vegas actually! Hope all is well if you have biz/property/fam in Vegas.
I'll shoot you a PM.
-
Wow - so sorry to hear. Surprising a legitimate dealer would pull this type of BS.
Hoping you get a fast and simple resolution.
As for new versus demo - in addition to the miles and usage, wear, tear - they usually click the warranty on day one of the demo usage so you would receive less warranty unless they were willing to extend it - but that may not be possible.
Very unprofessional and unethical to present a demo car as new.
Thanks Cake. I probably wouldn't have minded if he had just disclosed it was a demo (miles were very low).
It's just a shame that he felt the need to withhold that fact. What a colossal waste of time on something that was just meant for fun.

So... I was at Lamborghini Las Vegas some weeks back. I agreed to buy a car, paid a credit card deposit and left. Sent them a wire for the balance.
Turns out later this supposedly brand new car is a 'demo' car - which wasn't disclosed at the point of the negotiations and it was represented as a new car.
The sales guy insists there's no difference so the lack of disclosure makes no difference. I think there's a difference between a demo car and a new car, but hey, what do I know.
So I politely request to void the transaction. They 'agree' albeit reluctantly, and they make the refund to my credit card (just $30K), but today, weeks later they still won't send me back my wire. It's new excuse after excuse everyday. Management not around, wire needs double approval, sales guy on holiday, accounts girl gone home for the day.. the list goes on.
So... I'm tired of these clowns and having to call them daily to hear yet another new excuse. Anybody from Vegas who can recommend a good lawyer? Would be very grateful.

Absolute garbage, don't get one.

Anyone know the amount of roadsters built? I can think of 3
9 and counting
-
Allan must be selling Kris's Veneno for him. Or... N4than?
You can still buy the veneno roadster direct from factory at list.
-
There are some rumors going around, but the reality is there are people backing out of their P1 orders as they go down the list, and others are taking their spots. People who really want one and are fully ready to pony up are going to get one...at sticker.
Lol c'mon. This is nonsense.
I'll buy all the P1's you can find me at sticker. Please. I'm ready to pony up.

Ok, so we all know how Facebook and some others social sites have contributed to assassinating some relationships, even ending some marriages. But what about harmless games like Words With Friends? My buddy is crazy about this girl but she gets approached by men who notice her playing WWF all the time. They ask for a game (not knowing her at all), and she accepts. He is pissed and she says it is "just a game" ... but we both agree that it is a pick up line, and a way to start "chatting" and work an angle. Some options: She is lying and likes the attention, She is naive about Men, Who cares it will end anyway, She is not really digging my friend or is it just harmless?
What say You?
Is this where you say its your buddy but its really you?
Tough crowd here for sure with all their responses shitting on your buddy. lol.

Wait... You have a Bugatti AND a Pagani Cinque??? 😳👏👏👏👏👏
Please start a thread! The Cinque (along with the Miura) is my favorite car of all time!!
Ohhh. Sick instagram. And you have a Veneno! I'm envious already!
-
Yeah, Porter changes my Username from time to time. I'm still Assman.
Send my regards! I don't need a house soon, right? Last I checked you had plenty of spare garage space....
-
congrats MnM on the Bug and the Cinque
Very kind of you!
-
Congrats! I agree with Fapper, you need a house with a garage to put all these cars.
Grassman? Assman? Are you one and the same?? I'm confused
-
Why don't you buy a house first! When you coming back to town?
Too late, I already bought a US spec bug that isn't in the US.
Cars are somewhat less troublesome to buy than houses.
I'm back in just over a week. Where are you now??
-
Anybody knows a workshop that has some experience and can service and work on bugs, that ISN'T an official Bugatti dealer in the US?
-
This is true what you speak!

I lived off Sunset Plaza on Evanview 18 years ago. Great area, great views. Traffic sucks ass on weekends, 20 minutes from any freeway without traffic. Fun if you are single.
Homes in the Hollywood Hills views vary due to the topography. Some have stunning views, homes next door don't.
Better values in Los Feliz and Beachwood Canyon further to East. Lived there too, loved it.
I'm leaning towards Bel-air and Beverly hills now I guess although there are some really nice houses in Sunset.
Where do you reside atm?
-
Sunset Plaza home is freaking baller!! love it.
Hey Nic
its crazy the kind of properties you can get compared to sg. I'm building a new house in sg starting next month or so.. maybe you can be the official photographer and document the process? Like the binder we get with a new Ferrari
going to build a covered carpark this time that can house 10-12 cars
-
Aria and Cosmo are good too
Is Venetian or Palazo any good?
-
Thanks guys. Some awesome (I hope) recommendations. To think I have been blindly going off Trulia in the last couple of weeks and making some random offers lol.
I'll be back in LA this month so hopefully I can get something wrapped up over the next couple of months.
I thought Hollywood Hills had good views though no?
2 properties I liked off trulia

if it was half holiday home half investment home which area would you guys recommend?
-
Anybody has a good recommendation for a realtor in LA? Looking to buy a holiday home in LA within the next couple of months, and having problems deciding between Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills or Bel-Air even - so a good trustable realtor would be a great help.
Anybody has anyone to recommend? Thanks
