The dealer doesn't even need to tear down the motor. Its easy as A B C. Road debris struck the motor at a high enough velocity to put a hole in it. Hole spews out oil. No oil in the motor. Explains it all.

There is not much evidence of damage under the front of the car but something only has to hit the engine to make the engine fail. This has been going for almost 5 months. That scenario does explain it all but it not as easy as ABC. I don't want to bash the company too explicitly before I completely drop the claim, which will happen passively once the car is sold.

Yellow e-gear cars bring slight premiums but there are certainly other options for people looking for a Gallardo.
I completely respect your input on my pricing and I would like to think that I understand where the market is at right now. That being said, the interest on this bright yellow shop ornament is costing me a lot so I am open to offers.
