eBay Find of the Day: 2007 Lamborghini LP640
For all the ridiculousness this car exudes, you have to admit, this LP640 has brass balls. Or is that what you have to have to drive this thing on public roads? Either way, bids are currently at $180,000 and the reserve isn't yet met, so if you're kicking around some extra cabbage, this Lambo, in it's electric cabbage hue, could be yours. The e-gear equipped Murcielago has racked up 415 miles, so perhaps that could be a bargaining point should you have the wherewithal to pony up for this Italian that speaks with a German lilt. The metallic green is called Verde Ithaca, which makes it even more multicultural - a Greek green, yum. To us, the hue is akin to something that would've come on a dishwasher in the 1960s, but it's cool. We do like it, and there's nothing like the snarl of the Lambo V12 at full song. One thing we like about the unique shade is the way it accentuates the taut details of the Murcielago's shape. It really looks great with the beige and black interior. For all that, it's not anywhere near practical, but that's not why you buy this thing anyway, and if you're going to have something exclusive, might as well go for an Italian supercar that's not yellow or red.
Nice tip, Brian!

You'd think for the amount of money, you'd get some "spiffier" gauges. *shrug*

And you'd also expect a steering wheel that doesn't look like it's from a Toyota Paseo.

I saw one in this very color in Orlando, Florida today - weird coincidence. It is an incredible color.

I think what I like most is the carbon fibre oh sh*t handle for the passenger near the centre stack.

While not a fan of ostentatious hues, this colour really brings out the beautiful lines of the Lambo. I honestly was never a fan of the original model (that came out in a guady orange), but this colour this one makes the car look absolutely stunning.
Does anyone know where this particular car is at?

I like the pictograms for turning on and off the passenger-side airbag. Just in case you, you know, are driving around with a baby seat in your lamborghini.

While I'd take a Miura over any other Lambo since, I like Murcielago. The Gallardo look scrunched up like the Dino 308 GT4 of the 1970s; the Murcielago has a balanced appearance. Even though I like this car, I wouldn't spend the bucks for it. The eBay seller probably has the reserve at $260,000 (or in that area). It's just not worth it for something that'll breakdown after a thousand more miles.

I've had a Paseo. The steering wheel is hard plastic and much worse looking than that, let me assure you.

The best part of that car is the carbon fiber "oh shit" handle.

Have to agree with #1. Those gauges are lame. Kind of reminds me of mid-90s Olds and Buick gauges. I like my gauges to have some sort of bevel around them. I think Lambo's biggest problem is interior design. I am not saying its bad like early 90s Hyundai bad but for what you pay for the car, it should be better designed...just my opinion.

I always wonder why lots of exotic cars like this are on sale after having been used for only a few months. Either the owner got bored of it and wants to get rid of it, or the owner is a rapper who spent all his/her money before he/she even had it.

This LP-6-4-0 is priced more like $395,000. $265,000 would not buy a MY06 Murcielago coupe yet alone a Lp-6-4-0.

I paid $425,000 for mine after all was said and done.
I got a kick out of the guy that would not buy it for $265,000
You could get the Gallardo for that and have the money for gas. (lol)
