wow, lots of 50/50 but they all make sense lol.

Here is the story, I dont have much money in the bank im 21 years old (i know im young to drive a car like this, but cars are my vice), but my family is loaded. I could ask my dad to pay for it, but I don't want to ask him to please my adolescent retardation. he has to take care of my family, and he is always helping out other family members financially. Thats why I dont want to bother him for something that is not a complete necessaty for me, while people in this economy are starving for food. Its just that the lambo car is cocaine to me, i cant get it out of my head, hence why I wanted to lease, because this would come out of my pocket.

I was scared to give my r8 as a down payment, it didnt seem right thats why I wanted more information from people that would know better. from the look of it, thats what almost everyone thinks too. I however still am not sure what to do, but appreciates everyone for helping me get a clearer picture on the matter

 

Thank you for being honest about your fortuitous circumstances!

Did you pay for the R8 by yourself? If so I would assume that you have substantial income to get the Lambo unless circumstances have changed. Why not wait 6-12 months and pick one up used? Lamborghinis have terrible residual values.

Case in point - People are buying used Gallardos (the older model years) for around the $100 K range (+- 10 %) frequently; contemporary F430s are nowhere near that range and there are even F360s that are going for more!

 

know the r8 was already in my family, it was given to me when they got tired of it... like I said money wise I have no issues. I just dont want to be like all the other people that lost their wealth because of poor decisions, but I understand about waiting, question is, if the lambos are horrible at holding their residual why would i want to buy one, even if it is used

 

trade the R8 to Roy for a 560 and work out the financing for the diff.

 

That's for YOU to decide. Not me.
























Unfortunately.

 

First of all, Lucky you! given an R8 because someone else got tired of it haha nice.

second, i personally wouldnt buy or lease a lambo just because they're horrible at holding value and because if i had the money i would just buy a scud . i mentioned earlier that cars are generally bad investments because they depreciate a lot and quickly (duh) but you obviously know and understand that so... The point im making is that ALL cars depreciate (with exception to a few collector types) and because you appear to have the money as well as the desire for a lambo, the depreciation shouldnt really bother you.

The benefit to buying a slightly used one is you are getting a like-new Lambo for way less than the sticker price on a brand new lambo.. see what i'm getting at? You'll ultimately lose money on it, but if you buy one with say 5-10k miles on it and pay only 75% (sorry if my numbers are way off.. i just haven't kept up with the lambo market of late) of the sticker price on a new car you're saving 25%.

tell me about it.

 

trade your R8 on this car and put a 560 bumper on it!
