Could they find a used one with a proper/decent warranty?.
I doubt it!, otherwise I'd have owned one by now.

They are fairly bulletproof,most have been well looked after,from what I gather the ones to avoid are cars that have not been driven,06 cars with 2000 miles say.....also iI gather from a few independents who service ferraris/astons and lambos the lambos are the most robust and least likely to go wrong.
It is a shame lambo don't install confidence by having such a limited poor warranty with regards to used ones,especially when Ferrari and Porsches can be bought with 2-3 yr warranties on a used car.
I think autocar were right in saying avoid the egear cars and go for the manuals ,that will reduce costs substantially and be more fun.
I'm sure there are some horror stories out there,but the vast majority are pretty tough ,plus is you buy from a lambo dealer you get a 1 yr warranty anyway .
Mine ran out of warranty in may ,but I have no concerns ,I asked for a proper inspection at the last service,sorted the Niggles out and am delighted with it.

They sorted the clutch issue that was responsible for approximately half of the entire word count on these forums for a period a few years back then?
