The owner is asking £105k for a 52 plate one owner vehicle,seems quite competitive. Some joker has asked him how usable the bootspace is as it seems quite small in the photo, he politely tells him to get a life !
The offer for cash looks dubious from the nigerian businessman who can't spell.
The owner reckons it cost over £200K new from Lambo London, wicked looking car though and great images.

I'm not liking the interior, perhaps that explains the price.

Not serviced for 2 years either, what is the expected clutch life on a Murci?
Who knows the trade price for one of these ?

90k. Clutch life is hard to measure, although the diagnostic unit can tell you what %'age use is

You can get a replacement clutch for 3k if it hasn't started to slip (which takes the flywheel with it) making it a 6k job. Can be done even cheaper with the likes of Verdi's

I asked the seller how he managed to arrive at a £200K new price, given that's much more than list.. wondering what options he'd gone for.

I got a "I'm not going to go into how that price was achieved" reply.. Ideal.

As for someone offering £90K.. that can't have been Jonny.. he'd have offered £70K

I think there are a fair few Murci owners (as a percentage) trying to offload there cars at the moment, and with very few takers. Why pay a dealer £130K for an obsolete model.

Early deliveries of Murci's were being picked up by owners and passed onto new owners - and the original owners were getting over £200K mark for the first batch of cars.

Right.. so he paid £200K because he paid a premium for it (rather than it having anything worth £20K added to it)

He reckons he's "undercutting every Murcielago on the market"..

I know of a high miler for sale at £85,000.. but he hasn't replied to that email..

I have seen this Murcie as well http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lamborghini-Mur


Why is the price rediculously cheap? I thought that they were £190k new? This one is £100k with only 2500 miles.


When is the new murceilago coming out?

The price says it's a scam.. but the guy has sold cars to other people with good ratings on Ebay before, it's not like he's zero rated. Hmm

On the auction for the £105K car.

"Q: Hi, there i have a 360 and am ordering a 430 and wanted to know if you would consider a swap for a 1 year old 360.
A: Thanks for your enquiry. The Lamborghini has a significantly higher value than a 12 month old Ferrari 360

"

You don't say.. patronising much ?

The car was in the Sunday Times for £110k last weekend. Alan Powley, I believe is a property developer by trade but has links to the motor trade via his brother. I believe they underwrite part-ex's from HROwen

I've dealt with Alan before, seemed a nice enough chap. I'm sure that what you see is what you get.
