well i imagine the FBI and or local law enforcement will get involved..I would have to imagine that there is some paper trail to who bought the cars and they could find them if they wanted. Or maybe the $12M man thought to keep the paperwork too

 

What I heard was he left to the middle east with all the money. Even staff went unpaid.

 

if you buy a stolen car unknowingly and the car is found, you lose the car period. Its not your fault but you are SOL for the most part.

IF Lamborghini drops the ball and pulls this **** and take peoples cars/money away I will NEVER EVER buy another Lamborghini or any other car from any VW/Audi/Porsche/Lamborghini dealer. VW/Porshce is on the verge of being the largest car company in the world and they are going to **** around like this over 12 million dollars?!??!!? Talk about utter stupidy, or cutting off your nose to spite your face. They will lose miiiiiiiiiiiiiiillions upon millions in sale over 12 mill?!?!??

As far as Im conserned questions and aligation about the owners have been out in the open for years, if Lamboroghini chose to never do anything about them and continue to keep them as a dealer this mess is on their hands and they will just have to suck it up and take the loss. Or sell 12 more stupid *** Reventons for 1 million+ considering its nothing more than an LP640 with a body kit they'll have that 12 million back in no time

 

you are right

 

Wow, this is just going to be one big mess. Wonder how it's gonna all turn out...

 

I wonder if they can be exported without Lambo knowing...

 

I don't understand the owners and what they did unless they're extremely greedy. Because from my understanding Lamborghini has been a profitable company even through these hard financial times for everyone. The rich will always have money, and it's the middle class and poor that get hit hard, I suppose that's why Lambos kept selling and made profits like everything was normal.

This all means the dealership was profitable to say the least, the owners must have been involved in some other financial ventures where they lost butt loads of money and they hoped to recover it in this ugly manner.

whatever the case is, I agree when you guys say Lamborghini or VW is chasing away millions of dollars in potential sales and profits for a quick lousy 12 million bucks. Even if they get the full amount back I think within a year or two that sum is gonna catch up with them by people not buying their cars because they were disgusted with their current tactics.

 

What an ugly situation. Lawyers will love this one!

 

I agree with this guy. In the big scheme of things, $12M really isn't that much to the VW Group. They just need to chalk up the loss and try to find the guy who has their 12 million.

 

Are there any lawyers who can chime in on this?

Also, Anyone got the list of all the vins affected? I am about to pick up a gallardo

 

crazy stuff

 

damn. those people are so grimey

 

I agree. I will not buy another vw/audi/lambo/bentley/porsche if they do this. The people that bought these cars bought them from an authorized dealer not some shady dealer. Lamborghini needs to deal with the owners of the dealerships not **** around the innocent people that bought these cars thinking they are just getting a deal.

 

So you have dealers that purchased the Lamborghinis from LOC, and then sold then at a substantial discount, even after they took their cut.

The easiest thing for VW to do is make the selling dealer cough up the difference/full cost of each car sold.

Don't tell me a dealership doesn't know when they're getting an outrageous deal when presented.


Those of you saying $12 million is a drop in the bucket are losing your minds. Typical left statement. "They're already rich enough, **** 'em." People will still buy Lamborghinis even after they repo these stolen 46 vehicles.

The question is, why is no one furious about the dealerships selling stolen property, and then being able to pocket the money from the sales with no punishment? So how many millions more dollars are stolen there?

 

+1 12 mil is 12 mil regardless if you have $1 or $100 billion. Audi/VW will not let these people off the hook. Your cars will indeed be repo'd and you can sort it out in court. It's unfortunate, but it's reality. It's all the dealers fault though. The owners of those vehicles should get them back and counter sue the dealership and it's owners for fraud.
