  • You can't win them all they say, Taking an "L" can be painful. We were so very very close to securing a deal on a very cool "driver" Lamborghini Murcielago SV when the buyer decided to break their contract. Sit back and listen to the story and maybe learn something from our misfortune.

    I love the fact that you are dropping all of this incredible history of these cars, buying and selling multi million dollar historically significant vehicles but are just hanging out in a ripped up pair of jeans. True car guy just like the rest of us but on a much larger financial scale.

      I understand where you're coming from here, but my suspicion is that they're most likely designer Jeans that came with rips in the first place. Not trying to say he isn't a car guy, just saying that I doubt those rips came from getting his hands dirty and wrenching..

    I saw this car parked in the center of Luxembourg a few months back ! It was parked in such a tight spot between cars i even wondered how the guy got out of the car! It did have the big SV stickers in the quarter panel and the giant wing! I remeber thinking that a guy that parks a Murcielago like i would park a citroen c1.... has to be doing very well in life! Sorry your deal fell through... but these people are "special" as hell! Imagine dealing with them on a daily bassis.....!!!!

      1) Scissor doors open upward, not outward. Makes parking tight between cars MUCH easier. 2) The cars probably parked AFTER the Lambo, boxing it in, as no one with a lambo wants a door banging into their car.

    John you did not close the deal as stated in contract. As a business man you know this. Closing the deal does not mean texting a screen shot that the money is sent on the contract expire date. Like the lady said you should have called her earlier in the week if you knew the contract would not be closed in time. You always twist the story to seem it was always the other person's fault while trying to sound sincere and genuine. Good on the lady for selling the car for the higher price and sticking to her word.

    • @ianlow5813

      I agree, by not completing on time he gave her a backdoor out of the deal. Also I don't know about US but if I send an international transfer, once I instruct the bank the money is out of my account I can no longer cancel the transfer. Perhaps it's possible in the US 🤷‍♂

    "I never got a phone call from you" - And would you imagine that?

Total negotiation and operation in bad faith on their end. I'd be naming and shaming that dealer, so hats off to you for being bigger than that.

    Yes, this car was on Oahu years back.
    The owner would drive it to Ala Moana and drink all night at the bars on the forth floor.
    At the end of his evening, he and his new chicks he met would catch a taxi home together and he'd have his guy watch over the car through the night: he had personal security for his Lamborghini.
    I was a bartender and remember he was very nice to everyone around and tipped generously. That was almost 10 years ago.

Unfortunately, you were not dealing with someone of the same integrity. An old Luxemburg cow. You are coming across as particularly chilled, well done.
