I often see salvage/fixer upper Lambo's on ebay. By this I mean Lambo's that were damaged and are being sold by insurance companies for much less than you would pay for the car in good condition. Is it really worth it to buy a Lambo like this, and has anybody on this forum done this? It seems to me as if it would be too expensive to do when you factor in labor, parts, etc.

You'll spend more than buying one with no problems, and in addition you have **** for resale value.

Scam

That site is a scam..most of the exotics you see there have already been sold, yet they keep advertising them ,so that you will pay a fee to get access to this great list of cars that they will give you. BEWARE!

This is a bad idea. Here in town someone owns the Diablo 6.0 that used to belong to Missy Elliott. It had severe front end damage and the guy bought it from one of these sites. He did get the car at a tremendous discount (about 55% of what a good car would have cost). However, by the time it is fixed, it will have cost him more than a good car PLUS his car has been "in repairs" for almost two YEARS now while they have waited for parts or fabricated parts which were no longer available.

So in the end, he'll have a more expensive than new car that he has paid for without being able to drive for two years and still has a salvage title. Bad choice.

That 6.0 at best is worth about $115k.
