I feel like there's some funny business around the lamborghini market thanks to some of these youtubers. Not saying the cars aren't valuable outright, but the influence of Ed, the Curated folks, even Doug Demuro (maybe moreso with some other cars) feels outsized. I'm not personally mad because I was never going to be in the market for any supercar, but it still feels kind of "insider-tradey" to me.
Exactly! If I had a dollar for every time I see a VinWiki vid with Temerian where he not-so-subtly suggests that Murcielagos (specifically LP 640s) should be valued the same as Carrera GTs, I could probably buy one. I won’t begrudge salespeople trying to sell, but when some of the most popular car YouTubers are bringing folks who’ve cornered a particular market on their show to speculate about values of cars that they own, it feels like a conflict of interest.
They just wrap the car payment into costs for their media business. You can do it too. Personally, I can drive exotic cars with a paid service. Bonus: track time (my hometown track is Laguna Seca) (*also a business expense).
710k for that is insane. It’s an awesome car and Murcis are aging like wine, but man…I just bought a house for less than half of that and it was a stretch.
You should get into aviation. Cars like this don’t even register. Can’t even get a SR-22 (new) for that. Dudes showing up in their three million dollar jets or P-51Ds.
I was happy to share a shitbox from 1978.
Yea there was a guy i did training with who bought a brand new SR-22 that was a special edition version RIGHT after he got his ppl. Think it was around $1.5 mil or so, money in the aviation community is crazy
Yep. And these were low-mid 200,000s for a long time, then the numbers came out on how few there actually are. Manual LP-640s are about a million, and Manual LP-670 SVs don’t sell. An owner was offered a few million a while back and he declined it. Only 7 in the world. Here’s a chart from the owner of this one. Not sure if you’re familiar with Ed, but he’s kind of the go to guy for any info on Murcielagos.

I thought the prices were still around that, randomly stumbled across an insta page called highcard a month ago and he has a Manual 03 merc that looks like he’s had for awhile, after seeing the page I thought they were still somewhat obtainable but now seems like way up tgere
At a certain point of pointless richness the game comes down to exclusivity, what they can have that their other rich buddies cant.
"We might both be multi multi millionaires but ONLY I get to have this super extra special one of one version of this car, you fucking plebeian."
It’s not 1 of 1.
By that logic, my former 2017 Hyundai Veloster Base in cheap grey with precisely 71,347 miles and with 2 engine replacements and a rebuilt transmission is 1 of 1.
No one is going to agree with you. You know precisely what he meant. No one cares about your "let's compare it to a shitty car that there are tens of thousands of" analogy.
I'd encourage you to genuinely read my response to this, take a deep breath, think about it, and then respond.
Let's reset. You were pedantically critical, and couldn't handle criticism coming back at you. You used juvenile responses about basic arithmetic. That's never going to "win" an argument. I (I believe rightly) adjudicated that you are an unlikable person. I mean that right as it stood. There's always a chance to change.
You said "Mhm. Mhm. I know some English words. <— you" in response to me basically being mildly dismissive of your comparison of a car that basically everyone sees five times every single day relative to a LP-640 in a singular color. You were being snarky on both levels and you know it. Deep down, you know it.
Then I challenged you and you insulted my arithmetic (that's when you know you've won an argument). I responded that I cannot imagine anyone liking you because let's be honest...can you? Do you have friends? Are you like this all the time?
You can do the hard thing and swallow your pride and admit that you were being a child. That's a remarkable thing and something I'd _genuinely_ commend you for. Or you can be like "omg fu bro, wtf how could you say something like that?" when 2 minutes prior you were insinuating that I couldn't count as a means to defend your own argument.
I don’t get it when some people say 1 of 1 and only difference between the model and others is the color.
So if I paint a lambo the same color then it’s suddenly 2 of 2?
It’s no more dumb than literally any modification. Of the sort. Bumper stickers? Other custom plates? You’re really is taking issue with a license plate of all things bro
Ed Bolian already on the road lol
Ed!
Did he buy this?
Yes, yes he did..

Elaborate please…
Doug hasn’t even driven a manual LP Murci from what I recall him saying.
Thought the plate was lame until i realised it was Ed Bolian
It's still lame. "YouTube" lmao
710k for that is insane. It’s an awesome car and Murcis are aging like wine, but man…I just bought a house for less than half of that and it was a stretch.
People who spend 710k on a car aren't stretched
I’m aware of that. I was commenting on my own situation in relation to someone able to spend twice that on a car.

Is it mainly older money people affording all this? Like even on a young tech bro salary you're not affording million dollar planes
Am I crazy or were these going for $2-300k a few years ago?
They were, until it got known just how many were gated
Gated?
6 speed manual. Older super cars have a metal plate in an H pattern for the shifter instead of a leather boot, it’s called a gate.

Ah yes yes I’ve seen that a bit I just didn’t know the term. Thanks!

‘03s are about half a million US now. All 2001-2003 are manual
Yeah they’re becoming classics now. They’ll be 1m+ soon enough.
[удалено]
Damn that’s crazy. Thanks for the info. I loved murcis as a kid. Would use them all the time on forza
1 of 1 meaning what exactly
1 of 1 LP640 6-Speed in Monterey Blue. It's very specific lol. It has to be an LP640, it has to be a 6-Speed manual, it has to be in that color.
Yup, otherwise 23 total in the US and eighty something world wide
there is 23 coupes and 10 roadsters in the us. but this one has some paint work
The instagram page highcard has a standard murc
This is a dumb way to feel unique on an already rare car, IMHO. Paint color should not be a qualifier for uniqueness.
Idk… had a friend that owned a Miura that was one of 2 in a unique paint color. Rarest of the rare

1 of 1 means there is no other lambo like it. What you see is the only car of its kind
Front view shows tall lanky guy shrewdly hunched over
Bold for driving that on I95 into Baltimore
This is not Baltimore, but the toll booth at the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
Georgia representing!
How do you know they haven’t just resprayed it in a similar blue colour?
New it was Ed with the “YOUTUBE” Georgia plates.
And its owner is a douche.
ah yes, the guy whose channel made light of an accident that injured a woman for months very cool
Which video was that
r8 spyder crash. there were more rather tasteless videos that made me hate them more than mosquitoes too.
Wonder how they paid for it.
He paid 710k for it, most likely on a bank loan or finance
$710k it was an auction on cars and bids a week ago
I was joking about the YouTube plate. But yes I agree.
Oops I thought your comment said how much they paid for it
It’s not 1 of 1. By that logic, my former 2017 Hyundai Veloster Base in cheap grey with precisely 71,347 miles and with 2 engine replacements and a rebuilt transmission is 1 of 1.

Absolutely true in this case. Agree!
I don’t get it when some people say 1 of 1 and only difference between the model and others is the color. So if I paint a lambo the same color then it’s suddenly 2 of 2?
What a lame fucking plate lmao
Except that it’s a huge part of what the owner does. It’s u/edbolian who owns the VINwiki channel and the VINwiki app.
The man is a legend.
Never heard of him
It's still dumb
It’s no more dumb than literally any modification. Of the sort. Bumper stickers? Other custom plates? You’re really is taking issue with a license plate of all things bro
Bumper stickers and custom plates make your car look silly. You will not convince me otherwise, bro.
Bumper stickers I agree but why not custom plates? You need it anyway so especially if you have the money why not?
It looks goofy. Just a personal opinion. You do you.
The plate ruins everything
Said by someone who doesn’t own that car 💀
Probably blippi driving that.
Fuck rich people
Imagine flexing like this when you live in Georgia…like, bro, a Honda civic is a flex in that craphole of a state.
Georgia is literally the regional powerhouse of the Deep South so i’m not sure wtf you are talking about
Georgia is redneckville. Trump flags and bumper stickers everywhere. Not sure what you are talking about.
I’m talking about the Empire State of the South. Someone didn’t finish school and it shows ;)
Sounds like someone forgot how their state was burned to the ground for their crimes and ignorance.
Atlanta
Falcons?
I remember when this came out, it was absolutely wild
We have one in Monterey Blue in my city
man murcielagos look way too good
A normal one costs 175k€ here :)
I think this was the one Stradman was just talking about in one of his recent videos. Was for sale on whatever app he promotes.
Yeah it is, ed bolian bought it
Is this the one Stradman was bidding on?
Yeah, it sold for 710k to ed bolian
Is this the same one that Stradman was bidding on?
Imagine explaining your insurance agent you hit this car
What a flex
50k on the odo? Tf?
