    Well if that's true, I see no point to spend more to have an Aventador or rent one. The Aventador looks a little cooler just for maybe the longer body, but now is it just for show? I thought the body of the Aventador was for the performance, but now that it makes it slower, is it just for show? I remember the Huracan was easy to park and manuever around traffic, how does the Aventador compare?

    Seems getting the cheaper lambo sounds like a better deal for those who want a faster car. At least I can tell people I drove the faster Lamborghini though and not chose it because it was simply cheap. Maybe can get a used Huracan and hope for some kind of good deal.

    Old chinese saying..." There will always be something faster"! The Aventador is a great, beautiful car. Plenty fast!!

    Remember,car sales people(most) are Bullshixxers and they will ID one of their own very quick...
    How are Lambo sales people? Like if they feel like someone's pretty serious about buying it but wants like a good deal, what stuff are they going to say?

    I remember going to an Audi dealership just asking if they're selling any used R8s for $80k. They said something on the lines like "it's a privilege if someone gets to buy this car". But it's BS, that car has been out for over 5 years and there are plenty of used ones on the market, and while it's a cool car, I don't consider it a privelage to be able to buy one. Only something like a LaFerrari is a privilege to buy since you must have bought a Ferrari in the past and meet criteria.

    What things will they say if you try asking for a discount? Or are they willing to give discounts at certain times?

    There's one near 10k miles and was priced at $220k which I think is starting to be a pretty good deal, at least $80k in savings. Would be better if it was slightly under $200k.

    The rent a Lambo company didn't ask for a deposit or insurance, just a drivers license and probably being 25+ years old. They offered to let me drive again and go on the freeway if I wanted to buy a 2nd round because they trusted me.

    There's another company doing a 2 hr exotic car tour for $400 special in January! They let you try out 4 exotic cars, including Lamborghini & Ferrari, and it's a mountain driving tour. It's kind on some mountain roads in Chula Vista (near San Diego). It's out in the middle of nowhere but I guess it means open roads to really let you feel the car.

    But I dunno if saving up the money to own an exotic car is even worth it anymore now that I can just go rent one for a few hundred bucks and spare the headache of ownership. People say Lambos are weekend cars, so it'd be a waste to let it sit in the garage on the weekdays after dropping $200-300k on it. Plus maintenance is super expensive, like $5k for some basic service when it may be a few hundred bucks on a normal car?

    And not going to be the guy who buys a Lambo to be the envy of friends because most of the time some will find a way to hate you rather than praise you. I'm not going into debt just to hear some guy say "nice car, what you for a living?". But seems most people on this site who own a Lambo aren't out to insult others.
    Security deposit is usually 5000 CAD, 3000 USD over here. You have to sign an acknowledgement. I don't know about the rules in US.

    Depends on the dealer, what your relationship to them is, and how convinced you are of buying.
    If you just show up, having never bought a car from them and just asking for a test drive, forget about it.
    Try visiting a few times, asking intelligent questions and showing intent to buy.
    I took one out for a test drive (ended up buying it) without any deposit. I happened to drive up in a Ferrari, and had come by a few times before in a Jag F-Type R and talked to them at the local C&C. They were comfortable in feeling I was a serious buyer with the ability to buy the car.
    You surely can drive in with a BMW, but a single visit won't be enough.

    Erectly what abedh said... I never give deposits,I walk in and tell them what I want and if I like it I will buy it immediately.With the Huracan,I saw one run at the track and then went to the dealer the next day and bought one.I did not need to drive it,just the looks and how it smoked my Turbo S,I was sold...

    If you try to bargain to much with them,they will think you can not afford it and no drive for you..But,I guess that is why I get stuck with MSRP all the time...

    Not sure I agree on the bargaining part. I negotiated my deal over 5 days. Even though I can afford most cars without negotiating I still like to feel like I got a "deal". The reality may be different than what I felt. Huracan 0.5 seconds faster than Aventador?
    Of course I say this and I bought my F-Type R on the spot full retail when it first came out. Was just so in love with the car I had to have it now. LoL!

    Agreed,I guess I could try harder on the $$$ thing,but I am very selective on cars and am concerned some will buy it out from under me.Yes,beat up the dealers as best you can is the be course of action.
