Who has already ordered an LP-700?

Thanks. Not quite, think the last few are still coming out. Mine's going to be nero with grigio silverstone stripe, yellow calipers, black interior with light grey contrast stitching, etc.

Very subtle, I like the combination on your 16M; really a beautiful car.

I do not plan to buy one anytime soon. Winkelman himself has reported that all production is sold out for the next year, but what he doesn't report is that many dealers had to place their orders in the name of people within the dealerships or they would get their production slots cut off for the year. So, once again, the dealerships will have more cars than buyers and values will once again take a hit. Lamborghini promised that things would somehow be different this time- that they learned their lesson and would only work on an ordered basis to prevent the same drop that occurred with the LP640. While the LP700 may be a fine car, the reality is that it won't hold its value until buyers outpace sellers.

Too bad factories just can't gear down and produce 1/3rd the cars to keep demand up. Ferrari did some but still will sell any car they can whenever possible.

I work at a busy dealer. And we are sold out for about 11 months right now with the orders we have. There is actually a buzz for the car... it feels good, its been a while for the brand. I think its well deserved for the great design they came out with.
Its safe to say nobody is going to cancel, unless then want to lose their $40K.
Just giving facts here not looking to butt heads w anyone.

That may be your experience back east, but I have no reason to BS about what's happening out our way and if demand is that strong those cars would be gone by now. As of today, they are very much available. Don't believe me then PM me and I'll point you directly to the dealers.
I'd love to see demand there, but I don't want to see people get hurt either. I've been approached by more than one "dealer" already with cars. I have no idea how the car is doing in other parts of the world but I am telling you that it is a misrepresentation that someone when they claim "sold out" they are implying to end customers when the truth is, it's cars to dealers that are yet unsold and if history repeats itself, and I have ZERO reason to believe otherwise, those unsold cars will kill the value.
