Why is this Murcielago so cheap?

I am aware that this car is on VCar, and understand that it was an ex-rental car that was damaged.
Has anyone seen this car close up?
Has it been repaired properly, or is it just a cheap repair with replica add ons?
Being a manual car, it could prove a shrewd buy.

As a total addict to the "For Sale" section of this website, and Lamborghinis specifically, I can tell you that this car has been for sale with these guys for some considerable time. Now I know cars of a certain type do take a while to sell, but there will be a good reason the car is at this price point and yet no one has taken the plunge - that must speak volumes to start with.
I would also take a little time to research the dealer selling the car - that will probably explain why it is still for sale....

Cheap!?
Well I suppose if one bags this one for £75k, and it turns out to be a dog, one may spend another £20k to get it right. That brings it up to the £95k mark. There is a nice red one in Ireland (advertised on PHs) for that sort of money.Murcielagos seem to be a bit of a bargain at the moment, especially when certain dealers are asking £120k for a basic 2WD early Diablo and Diablo SVs & Roadsters are £130-140K!
I think the best thing to do is buy the best one you possibly can with a clear history (not cat c or d's) as these category cars will always be incredibly difficult to sell come the time, especially if the repairs are done on the cheap, spend money on getting the car checked over by the usual culprits, don't rush in. Resign yourself to the fact if the car hasn't been run a lot in the last year or two... budget for about £4-5k in getting the niggles sorted out eg catalysts ,fuel pumps,plugs and coils etc. Finding a good solid manual under £110/120k will be really tricky.. but of all the cars I looked at before buying my yellow one... the red one in Ireland was no.2 on my list.... from memory it was being recommissioned serviced and re-registered by lambo Manchester in June / July time. Last year there were 7-8 manuals knocking around now 1-2 and you almost need an inside track to get a decent one. If you are determined to go down the Cat C route I know there is one hiding around Milton Keynes area which I went to look at in June but had a changed speedo and about 10000 miles of missing history but could be ok. PM me and ill put you in touch.

Great to read your post about the red one in Ireland being no. 2 on your list, cause i just bagged it. always scary buying from abroad but i did some research and things added up so flew out views and drove the car put it on a ramp then went for it. really excited till i go pick it upAwesome ,you will love it ,just be prepared for the attention it brings . From what ive been told turbos are on the way for the V12, so this is the last proper manual v12 lambo ever and they will never be this cheap again. Although mine has had some problems it's just because in the last 2 years prior to getting my mitts on it, it did only 2000 miles and I got hold of it and did 4000 miles in 3 weeks. It took about 1500 miles to free up the engine from its slumber and with its larini hi flow cats now installed it is a yowling mentalist. Send me some pics when you pick it up.

Appreciate the message , as soon as i collect it will post some pics. There really wasn't too many cars on the market in manual and mine isn't perfect but I'm prepared to spend some money to get it there. I have been told by many that these will be next car on the rise, but then again aren't they all on the up? can't wait to collect mine once formality paperwork is done.What are the do's and don't? Thanks
