m6power Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Ive been casually keeping an eye on the Aventador market as my interest has been growing for them. Just out of curiosity what do you guys think of the Exotic racing car for sale at LLV? I talked to Tom and he put a lot of work into bringing it back to "like new" status. New Tranny, new clutch, new differentials etc.. He's asking 349k, which I wouldn't even think about considering. What would be a good price for it? The only reason I would even consider it at a good price is the color. http://www.lamborghinilasvegas.com/used/La...8f3e397a44d.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why it already needed a new tranny and diffs?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m6power Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Link doesn't work Fixed... I think, and like Dave said theyre the rental race track company out in Vegas. So 325? I was thinking closer to 310, MAYBE 320...maybe wishful thinking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Well if it had some sort of Internet celebrity status and chrome wraps you could ask for $500K easy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Craws Report post Posted March 3, 2014 I sure wouldn't want a car that has been beat to hell by literally hundreds of people in the hot sun on a Vegas track day in and day out to save a buck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Those are some hard miles...not a penny over $300k they made their money on that car already so rest is all gravy now. I am sure some dumb-ass will pay more hopefully not you. Ask yourself how a "normal" rental depreciates...like a Ford Fusion and so forth....when you try to sell this car a few years down the road it will have a story...it used to be a rental. Rental car is like a wrecked car w/o the physical damage so yeah $300k is a generous/fair offer. remember the important word "RESALE" value AND most buyers will not be able to overlook the "Rental" history despite its extensive maintenance record.

Fortis Report post Posted March 3, 2014 A car is a car, rental or not, there is a price for everything, if the price reflects it why not? make sure it's in a great shape mechanically have it all checked out and if it is make them a crazy offer, if they bite go for it if not move along, I'd be way under $300k on that, try your luck you never know.

AudiBull Report post Posted March 3, 2014 I know most people see 21,000 miles and think that is a lot on an Aventador, but remember that there was a rental Murcie that went over 200,000 miles under similar conditions before it needed any major engine work. It would probably be at 300,000 by now if someone didn't total it. If it all checks out and comes with a warranty? You have to remember that most of the time there is a pace car controlling the speed while on track. The majority of customers have never driven an exotic so they brake way early and drive like a grandma. Traction control is usually left on. It's not a manual so you can be fairly sure that no over revs occurred. A track is actually smooth. The suspension would probably get more of a workout in most major northern cities that are now covered in potholes. There are plenty of cars out there that have been driven just as hard by their owners. That said, I still don't know if I would consider it personally. Just throwing a different point of view out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 I hope you can work out a deal. I'd be looking at the mid 200s tops for a rental. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin.Up Report post Posted March 3, 2014 349K is way too much. I'd say the car is worth around 270-280k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m6power Report post Posted March 4, 2014 It was just a thought I had entertained. Ill probably make a move on a lower mileage car if all goes right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djantlive Report post Posted March 4, 2014 $300k would be a great deal if the car has been properly repaired. people in the car biz know how to get service and work done at 1/2 price. sometimes that's good, but if tranny and diff was completely changed, i wonder if new parts were put in and if it was done proper. it looks like an epic car. at $350k, i would pass. have you seen what people do to rental super cars? lol some friends of mine rented one and let's say he drives a $20k car and is jobless.

I know them and work with them, they do get big breaks on the parts i'd imagine because they buy a LOT of cars from the dealers.

Liquid Assets Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Tom is easily the best guy I have ever dealt with when it comes to buying a car. So honest and so upfront and he is very knowledgeable. He put 70k to bring this car back to A status. This car is worth more than 300k. I was looking at it because it could be had for a very fair price, for an Aventador. But I took the white roadster out, they have 4 now I think. They have a lot of cars over there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
