Curious. Recently, I’ve received several emails from reputable Lambo dealers offering to buy my Performante. I don’t normally research the market, not my thing. Is there a shortage of Lambo for sale?
Yes. There is. Performante and SVJ are especially in tight supply.Curious. Recently, I’ve received several emails from reputable Lambo dealers offering to buy my Performante. I don’t normally research the market, not my thing. Is there a shortage of Lambo for sale?
There are more Senna’s for sale on Autotrader than Performante’s, 16 vs 15. More 991 GT2 RS’s, 38. More 991.2 GT3 RS’s, 34. More Ferrari Pista’s, 60. Hell...there’s even more Ferrari F8’s, 21. I could go on and on. The Performante is in short supply relative to its peer group.I really don't see any shortage of HP's. There are 7 on CarGurus, over 15 on Cars.com and even more on Autotrader.
Dealers are selling quite a few cars these days and the buyers usually trade in cars. The buying is happening, but the trade ins are not.Curious.

No, not quite comparing apples to apples there. If you look you can find plenty of inventory. It’s no different than last year either.There are more Senna’s for sale on Autotrader than Performante’s, 16 vs 15. More 991 GT2 RS’s, 38. More 991.2 GT3 RS’s, 34. More Ferrari Pista’s, 60.

Why would the WI dealer not market them online?That's a pretty typical dealer scheme.... they send you random emails on how your vehicle is in high demand and then low-balls the heck out of you. It's just a way for them to pique the interest of those that otherwise wouldn't have considered selling.
A dealer in WI has like five Performantes for sale right now, FYI.
They do. On their website and they pop up on cargurus, autotrader, etc. I posted the link the other day.Why would the WI dealer not market them online?
I agree that is strange but they may be wanting to show the axle lift in the ad. That is a deal breaker for some not to have the lift.Funny how they photograph their Perfs with the front end lift up in 4x4 tractor mode. The photography and preparation of the cars (or not) is dismal and may be why they have so many. Is that a shower curtain used for a photo backdrop? To be nice they do note the actual Lamborghini color of their cars unlike most of the internet ads for "yellow" or "blue".
I will attest that in my world, there are dealers who do a great job marketing and others that don't. It cost money to belong to autotrader, carsdotcom, ect but I have to assume that anyone in the retail side of automobiles can afford or better said, can't afford not to belong to these sites. I actually found a 488 spider on marketplace once. I think since market place is free, why not...........right?Here's a note on marketing that I don't understand but all through Dec/Jan I was looking on the usual sites, Autotempest and everything related but I didn't pay much attention to Facebook marketplace..... To make the story short finally out of frustration I did, and after probably skipping over the ad several times (because the car looked black and the front end was all jacked up) I clicked on it to find it was the Blue I was looking for and a Gen 2 for nearly the price of a Gen 1 ........ 3 hours away! I went and bought it. Price had been dropped at least 3 times since November. They never advertised it anywhere but on their own website and Facebook !! Worked out for me, but WHY. I definitely think their marketing strategy (and photographer) FAILED on that one so Proof that you need to search EVERYWHERE and click on all the ads. They didn't even have the year of the car in the title of the Listing and the picture was so crappy you couldn't tell. Initially I wrongly assumed it was a 04-08 black spyder, and here it turned out to be a 2011 Blu Fontus
Loads of them here in South Florida for saleCurious. Recently, I’ve received several emails from reputable Lambo dealers offering to buy my Performante. I don’t normally research the market, not my thing. Is there a shortage of Lambo for sale?
Yes, the guy I bought mine from (verde mantis) got a white one from Miami area. Although some places around the country seem to have several, there is a shortage of particular cars (performante) around the country. I buy all the shelby's I can get, so one would think by chatting with me that they are easy to find, that is not the case around the country. A nice car ( condition and spec) will always demand top dollar over others no matter what the market is. I just know right now, the market is hot and money seems to be available.Loads of them here in South Florida for sale
