not too difficult to repair that I reckon....
just the parts and stuff...but Lambos are known to be built in such a way that any smashy smashy is going to throw everything off..... so not a good idea actually.

oh, I'm not even thinking about buying it, just thought since every time this car is brought up, RS members including myself were wondering what had happened to it, so i thought i would post it.

the car is being sold in canada by an american company because import rules state that you cannnot import vehicles across the border if it has a write-off tag. Therefore he is trying to unload. This car is not repairable aside from being cosmetically repaired. Its structure no longer can widstand another impact. The entire car is made of aluminum and carbon fiber....

Wait, so someone is going to pay $150k for a car that can't be repaired?
What a steal...

My friend who does ICBC rebuilds said he looked at the car when it was at the ICBC lot. Besides the obvious cosmetic damage, there was some frame damage. I believe he said the right front suspension was bent badly.

there is no way you can fix that for $8,000.
I don't know about Murcielago, but for the Diablo, the bumper costs $20,000 and for SE30 Jota model, the bumper costs $35,000.
so yeah, as mentioned, you would have to add another 0 for sure.

No way you can fix that with $8000, $50000 is more plausible....

If this was fixable, ICBC would have fixed it instead of giving the owner a brand new replacement.

We have purchased the following: DRIVER AIRBAG,PASSENGER AIRBAG,SRS MODULE,SEATBELTS,DRIVER HEADLIGHT ,AND FRONT BUMPER (practically 90% of the parts that you would need in order to repair it)A VALUE WORTH OVER 40000$ but have to picked up from texas.You could repair all the carbon fiber pieces and even the aluminum pieces on the front left corner, THE CAR SHOULD NOT COST MORE THAN ANOTHER 8000$ IN PARTS MAX AND AROUND 7000$ IN LABOR ,THE CAR RETAIL IS OVER 280000$ AND YOU SHOULD HAVE IT READY AT LESS THAN 1700004 WHAT A STEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
they have most of the parts, they are saying $8000 MORE in parts and $7000 in labour (you just have to picked them up in texas lol)

What you guys aren't understanding is were not allowed to bring Lamborghinis into Canada, which doesn't mean we are not allowed to bring parts from the states, down here a wrecked lambo is not that easy to find, but a simple search on google will reveal many salvaged lambos in the states. so bringing those parts in from the states for 8k may be do able. Since the seller does have some of the parts (i.e airbags and bumper).

Yeah, 8gs for a hood, bumper, suspension bits, wheel and a new frame.
EDIT: Forgot to add, these are Lamborghini LP640 bits to be had for cheap. Cause you know, salvaged Lambo parts are on the cheapcheap down in the US of A.

They have the bumper no need for a new wheel, it needs a new control arm and bumper, if your not in a hurry I'm sure you can find those parts slowly, if your buying a lambo (even if it is a salvage) I'm sure you know there are costs involved and whenever repairing a vehicle something else always pops up, some lambo owner change there hoods or add body kits, what if they sell there stock parts for a good bargain? if your not in a hurry you can probably find it, maybe not all in 8k but maybe 10? 15? you never know until you start searching. There's always people that are selling, I'll leave it all up to luck to the buyer to find cheap parts.
