LM002?

[vchon]

...so i'm at the point where i can afford another toy.

don't get me wrong, i love my quick cars, but at the same time, there's something about a truck that really intrigues me!

i just bought a new car and so begins my addiction of car shopping where i begin to shop again for another...lol

so what do you guys honestly think. i'm now in the $100k sub range, where i can afford up to $100k and push it a little, but rather not.

honestly, a 550 would be a dream come true, but it wouldn't be practical... at the same time, range rover- been there, done that and didn't like the t-shirt. i think the only land rover i'd go back to is a defender long wheel base and a drop top at that!

so i'm thinking....

w12 phaeton, v10 m5, new quatroporte, g55, cls amg, or lm002.

maintenance doesn't really matter 'cause i'll have it insured and hopefully my cpa will find a way to write it off on taxes anyway (korean CPAs = FTW!). lol

well, it's nothing immediate, but i like planning ahead and researching. =]]

thx in advance TL!

Thing to be cautious of with an LM002 is that you have a mechanic to work on it, you can't take it to the local Midas anymore than you'd take a Diablo there. It's also HUGE, so it won't park or fit everywhere you might want it to. Other than that, if you want a huge SUV that holds 70+ gallons of gas, it's the way to go. :)

its not as huge as you think... still havent had problems parking mine yet..

im biased , i would say get a G55 and a LM002...loool

Get a Diablo too, no sense having just the SUV. :)

You might want to buy food then, before you get a LM002. lol

It sounds like you want a truck, but you could save a bit more and get a Diablo or get a Gallardo. Gs have been especially cheap lately. Not quite under 100k, but getting pretty cheap. Check out how cheap they are getting:

well in your situasion i would go woth a G55....best car, with lots of power, and tunns of fun to drive

Have you considered the ml63

[rifledriver]

One downside to the LM that really needs to be considered is that parts are getting scarce. Engine parts are no big deal but everything else is getting tough. One of my biggest problems has been finding parts guys who know what other model Lambos some of the mechanical parts cross over to. There are just very few out there who have much product knowledge anymore. There were only 300 made and the last one rolled out quite a few years ago.
