Lamborghini Reventón #3 of 20 on eBay
From the “You Knew It Was Going to Happen Sooner or Later” file comes what looks to be eBay’s first Lamborghini Reventón. Located in California, this 73-mile, one-owner ‘Ton is said to be car #3 of the 20 that Sant’ Agata is planning on turning out, and just one of ten slated for U.S. consumption.
Like other Reventóns, this small-volume model is essentially a Murcielago LP640 kitted out with angular jet-fighter carbon bodywork, a mildly reworked engine (+ 20 brake horsepower, for a total of 660), and a mess of new digital readouts inside. It might not be the fastest supercar on the road, but it looks impossibly sinister, and we love it.
Given the worth and rarity of this car, we're rather underwhelmed with the quality of the auction's presentation (a bunch of "down-on-the-street" -quality images, brief description, etc.) Regardless, the seller is evidently expecting a tidy return on the Reventón’s $1.4 million price tag, as the auction has a “Buy It Now” of $2.5 million. With 15 days left on the auction (as this is written) and a moneyed seller’s location in Silicon Valley, we wouldn’t be terribly surprised to see someone take them up on the offer. We also wouldn't be terribly surprised if the owner received a nastygram from Lamborghini itself, as the company frowns upon its buyers attempting quick-turnaround sales like this.

Any bets that falling stock prices are forcing this sale? When the order was placed, I suspect the world looked very rosy to this owner. Today, he may be having a reality adjustment. I seriously doubt that this sale was his initial intention when he placed the order.

I thought about that as well, but given that the BIN price is an eye-gouging premium, I'm not so sure that this has that strong of a "fire sale" aspect to it. Either way, I imagine that the folks in Sant' Agata wouldn't have minded a chance to buy it back (Italian supercar manufacturers have been known to do this from time to time to get them to wait-listed folks).

It was an overrated machine, but boy does it look fierce. $1.4 million is too much for this car, but it does stand out from the pack. I'm on chartguy's side on this one: I suspect the seller went bust in the market and still thinks his Lambo is a rewarding return investment.

Update: It looks like someone bought the Reventon at the $2.4M asking price. Click here to read the article.
Side note: According to the Los Gatos Observer, "The lucky collector who was allowed to purchase this car turned it down. "I told them, car #1 or car #20, nothing else," he reportedly said." Of course, that statement could be rumor, or just window dressing for a change in the buyer's financial picture. I guess we'll never know why the car went begging for a new owner...

I'd rather have a Gallardo with one of those Heffner twin turbo kits.

This somewhat ties into an event involving eBay and a Gallardo. There was a fellow I met who was selling a half-assed custom "Shelby" convertible. I could have done a better paint and trim job in my own garage. He wanted $40K on eBay Motors, but it failed to sell. The custom was in poor shape: in needed a charger pack to start up, there were visible blemishes from the poor paint job, had loose components, and still had drum brakes.
To this day, I am suspicious of the apparent sale a month later. I saw the price tag at around $24K, which perplexed because of much better and genuine '66 ragtops in better states with desirable options. The guy was using the sale of the Ford to put a down payment on a used Gallardo. Ever since that event, I've been suspicious of sudden eBay interest.

You do not need any skills and more necessary rohan crone for a regular attack, but it still looks like you are using a skill. The armors and weapons which we can use our own rohan gold to buy our favorite is looking very nice. In some places you can not understand what you are doing and sometimes you did not know why and where need to spend the expensive and more rohan online crone. You can bring your own rohan money to buy Still Scroll from shop and use it on someone who you think might use bots in game. If he is confirmed to use bots later, you will get 3 equipments and some rohan online gold from him.

Oh! Great post you've submitted here. I like this Reventóns, but still i am busy with my 640-802 exam. And i do stick it with right now but after that i will buy it. Although i do have my Cisco Certification 350-001 which is about the basic and primary information and expertise of CCIE Routing and Switching Track.
Also i would like to have a MCSA/MCSE Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft- Windows Server- 2003 Exam 70-290 in the near future.

Im 18 years old and as a struggling student who enjoys racing UGG
Boots ultra short Le its becoming extremely expensive and harder to
attend and enjoy a days racing.
Sure a student with a part time UGGS upside job would
have to save for a few weeks to consider attending a raceday as expensive as
this. I see that
Fairyhouse are racing on the 19th of this month and are charging UGGS
whitely boots 5e entry fee.
Its up to other tracks to follow suit and use some initiative to offer better
value to the normal racegoer….Pretty good air jordan post. I just found your site and wanted to say that I have really
enjoyed browsing your Bailey Button UGG Boots posts. In any case I’ll be
subscribing to your blog and I hope you nike sb post again soon!
