The $285,000 Lemon.

Hawaii buyer sues over 'lemon' Lamborghini

Auto dealer Morrie Stoebner thinks he knows a lemon when he sees it. These days the owner of Honda Windward said he doesn't have to look farther than his own parking space, which houses a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago purchased for $285,579.

The sleek "super car," which can hit speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour, is at the heart of a legal dispute between one of Hawai'i's biggest Honda dealers and one of the world's leading exotic carmakers.

Yeah, I know it's late, but I didn't notice this article the first time around in the papers. I only saw it after I was prepping my Newspapers for the recycling bin.

I dont think he bought it from a Honda dealership, he owns a Honda dealership.

 

[Viper007Bond]

Yeah, he bought it through his dealership.

And this is why i never would by a Lambo (pre-audi).

If i had the $, i would rather go for a 5 year old ferrari.

..oh, who am i kidding... i'd buy a porsche

 

[Viper007Bond]

A $285'000 lemon is nothing, don't you all remember the $2'000'000 lemon that was a Mercedes CLK GTR Roadster a-year-and-a-half ago...? In fact 20% of them were lemons... :lol:

but but it looks so hot...

didn't this car have the highest rate of issues out of any MB ever?

 

[Elmo187]

but didn't it have issues since MB didn't have plans on making a road version? i can see that happening since they wouldn't of had time to develop it for the road.

That's a piss poor excuse for something that costs so much :lol:.

 

[IceBone]

i am utterly confused by this thread. anyone care to explain in terms a 5 year old would understand?

Man buys expensive car, car breaks down, man is angry, angry man sues. The end.

 

[IceBone]

So what's a lemon?

 

[airmenair]

So what's a lemon?

A polite way to say piece of crap, essentially. Usually in terms of how it was put together, not necessarily bad design.
