Gents, believe me this is the deal I got.
Was going to px a 488 gtb but couldn’t get the deal I was looking for so asked what the deal would be if I just purchased the perf outright and after further discussion got the deal done.

I managed a small discount from my car, just got it last week, no chance on 35K, you've made a big statement and as I do not know you I cannot verify what you are saying.

sounds like a good deal - great looking cars (imo Lamborghini is the only manufacturer that produces good looking mid-engined convertibles / where the convertible does not look substantially worse than the coupe)

No one's getting 35k off list on a brand new HP period and we're already in Dec, the production for the HP is ending very soon so you'll be lucky to even get a slot let alone a massive discount. No idea why some people feel the need to post horsesh!t.

Get a slot ! Didn’t say I ordered it recently did I ?
I don’t care whether you believe it or not I’ve no reason to make it up either, it’s true, deal with it..

As I mentioned earlier I can get in to a new one for £25-30k off list so I think £50k off list is not far away at all IMHO.
How is that even possible? You're basically telling me the dealer will eat up their profit to sell you a car. Stop peddling fake news but don't expect much from a Ferrari fanboy.
laugh Ferrari fanboy who started this thread wanting to become a HP fanboy? Someone earlier on this thread contacted me asking me for the deal to be forwarded on where I was offered this discount - I sent it to him and he got the deal so it's far from fake news!

I think the HP is a great car but there are just way to many of them on the market at the moment for them not to be offered at a discount and for that reason I am out (for now). If I do replace the 458 it will be with a HP but that will only be once prices have stabilised a bit.

You said October if I've read this thread right, that's pretty recent isn't it ? I have no idea what why you post this unless you're prepared to prove it because obviously someone is going to question such a huge statement like 35K discount. pm me your details if you are genuine

When I had a demo in one those bucket seats are horrendously uncomfortable and my lower back was suffering after 45 minutes in the car. Must have the comfort seats for me as I don’t intend taking mine on track.
Ended up ordering exactly the same spec and colour but went for the spider which is due in 4-5 weeks now.

So according to your above earlier post you’re due delivery any time now? Or am I missing something!

i agree, no one orders one of these and gets delivered in 4 to 5 weeks, so far there is nothing factual in his post

Lol, there's no way in hell a dealer would take a 35k hit on a factory ordered car be it a Lambo or any other exotic. A dealer could easily give a 5k maybe even 10k discount and move a HP slot, the fact you're claiming a dealer took a 35k hit means not only did they lose their makeup but probably had to pay out of pocket to move a factory ordered car.Only way to put this to rest is post up the invoice and show us the 35k discount.

Agreed it's odd but why would he claim it in the 1st place!?

Surely that would damage residuals of the car he's just bought!

... plus you would think that if I dealer actually sell with a £35K discount, they'd want to make damn sure that no one else found out about it ??

Yes agreed, if a dealer looked after you to this degree I doubt he’d do it again after announcing it to the world!

Do you lot always bicker this much in the Lamborghini forum? You make the News & Politics section look like Sunday school.

You drive incredibly desirable £200k+ Italian sports cars. Not sure you’ve got a whole lot to be that angry about.
