How to Buy a Lamborghini

A high performance luxury sports car favored by the rich and famous, Lamborghinis star in movies such as "The Italian Job" and "Cannonball Run" and run the star-studded red carpet on the open road as well. Manufactured in a small village near Bologna, Italy, the Lamborghini rivals Ferrari as the ultimate sexy Italian car. If you have a bulging bank account, here's how to buy one of these ultra-expensive cars.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Decide which Lamborghini model piques your fancy. There's the sporty Gallardo Spyder convertible, which tops speed of 314 mph in test drives, the six-speed Superleggeria and shiny black Nera, both recent debuts, and the popular but discontinued Diablo roadster, which ceased production in 2001.
2. Check sites like Lambo Cars for details on Lamborghini features and photos of the sleek, attractive cars. Edmunds provides reviews if Lamborghini models, including handling and driving information.
3. Consider a used Lamborghini by searching online ads and your local newspaper. The DuPont Registry website provides a clearinghouse for dealers and individuals selling and buying Lamborghinis and other luxury and classic cars.
4. Test drive a Lamborghini at your local dealer before you buy one. If you live in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles, you will have an easy time finding an exclusive Lamborghini dealer. If you live in a small town or rural area, a road trip might be necessary unless you can find a private seller.
5. Read "Lamborghini Cars, the Magazine" to get a feel for the car and its culture. Lamborghinis exist as more than a vehicle to get you from one place to the next. They are a conversation piece and a way of life.
