I would buy a new 2021 or order a 2022 EVO and have money left over.
2019 Performante Spyder @ Marshall Goldman
I wanted to get some help/feedback on this car: Used 2019 Lamborghini Huracan LP 640-4 Performante Spyder For Sale ($328,900) | Marshall Goldman Beverly Hills Stock #B21252 (marshallgoldmanbh.com)
They have had it for a decent amount of time, whereas most other performante's I see on other dealerships websites go pretty quickly.
This one is well optioned out, and while not my exact favorite blue, its pretty close.
Here is the thing, I looked at Marshall Goldman's feedback on Yelp, and much to my dismay its pretty bad. I think its a 2.5 out of 5. Often times the complaints are misrepresentation and failure to follow up with what they committed (often times related to things needing fix/repair or missing from the car).
Now I'd like to think a 871 miles car wouldnt have any stories, but sadly I have seen 57 miles car have one and not disclosed, only to years later find out when I sold it. I have also seen issues with a prior lamborghini of mine.
Point being, do I bother to chase this car, or just let it go because of the risks associated with 'dealing' with such a dealership?
I understand the obvious answer is 'well go check it out' ... yeah and if I did that on every car I ever considered buying, I'd have spent enough in airfare and hotels and time away from work to buy a second performante
.
Seriously, I live in NC, and so flying to CA to check out a car thats being held by a less than reputable dealership (per the yelp feedback, not my own), sees it could be a colossal waist of time, and a decent bit of money. If it was in their OHIO store, it would be a non issue, I'd fly up and if misrepresented, fly back. If it was as depicted, I'd pay and drive back home.
Thoughts?

TBH I did exactly that. As much as I love the Performante, for me it was a no brainer to get a very similar car (EVO RWD) - with better seats (
) and full service & warranty - that was brand new.That said, if you want the real hardcore track-focused machine then the Perf is still the one to go for.
Depreciation is the other consideration of course and it could be the case that the Perf wins out in that regard also, but as I'm planning on keeping mine, maybe forever... then it didn't really factor into my decision making.
OP - an 871 mile car with 2 ( ? ) years remaining warranty ? That doesn't sound too risky a proposition to me...
As you say, it looks like a very nicely specced car - could you not organise a independent Lambo PPI without having to commit to travel etc ?
Its not about warranty, its about 'what if this car was in a wreck' or 'someone modified/tuned this, its warranty is void' There is some utube video of a 600LT mclaren they sold that was held together with zip ties, and it was never disclosed to the new owner. Just stuff that really scares me. I dont have the kind of money that says 'oh well looks like I got screwed here, I'll just sell it and disclose the damage to another buyer and get another' I have to get it right the first time. Also as we all know a PPI can only find for the most part immediately viewable items. I also worry that the local lambo dealership may have a long standing relationship with them, and I may not get an impartial review? Maybe have a local performante owner go look at it first, give me the thumbs up, and then have the PPI done, and then fingers crossed when I get it here take it to my local dealership and get an additional ppi done to hope i didnt get screwed?TBH I did exactly that.
