Word....I wonder how many people on here will ever own a lambo =P
Props to this guy. He got his dream car and sounds like he's happy and so is his family.
So much haters....not everyone wants to drive a honda =P

To do what he does and have a Lambo. Props. Which one of us here can say that?
Obviously, i'd take that 200k+ buy a house instead but HEY - thats his dream. He lived it.
Can't say nothing about it. (but if i saved when i was 6 till now, wouldn't I be wanting something like a DIABLO instead?) | if u took the time to read it, he says he already owns his own house

One thing people need to get is... forget about his 40K annual income. The lambo does not come from there. He saved his butt off for decades to get the lambo. (He bought it outright) His monthly expense on the lambo is probably less than your daily driver civic.
He put 1800 miles a year... that's 3000KM + or -. It's just a car that goes out every weekend or less than that. Assume 3000KM needs 10 tank of gas, make it 200 a tank since UK rips you off, that's 2000 a year. I spend around 70 bucks to fill my 328 weekly and that's at CDN gas price.

Typical RS mentality... Just because you guys choose to live life a certain way, doesn't mean that others are automatically evil/bad/retarded. There's another world beyond your tiny bubble.
This guy is living on a cash only basis. With his mentality, he doesn't own anyone a penny. If he was really in a financial pickle, he could take out a loan. It would be against every single financial principle he knows, but if he was anywhere near ethical, he would take the loan and he would be approved using HIS house as collateral.
To the comment about his foresight, how can anyone even question this? This guy looked ahead from the age of six to buy a dream car. If you want something, save up for it and smack every non-believer on your way out of the bank with your loaded briefcase.
If a major repair was in order, what would the big deal be? The car is not his DD, he does not need the car to fixed ASAP. Maybe he chose to feed his family first and spend his pennies on epoxy to bond his knock-off kit together?

Haha....props to this guy! He must have a very strong passion for Lamborghinis. Also, he doesn't seem like he is selfish and irresponsible for his family, so why not? Prioritizing at its finest!

^ well he already owns his house and his Gallardo outright, so for food and utilities they could probably scrape by on his wifes income til he got a new job. worst case scenario he can sell the car or house for straight cash.

Gallardo's aren't that cheap in the UK and you would be nuts to buy a used 2004 Gallardo. The only model years the car is worth buying used is 2006 and up.

If the man is happy, leave him to his own devices.
It may not be your cup of tea, but it works for him, and their family is happy. Props to him for setting a standard / goal for himself and then planning / making it happen.

An asset that's worth less everyday and it's probably not that easy to sell a Lanbo in this economy. I know lots of people that could afford to by a Lambo buy there not stupid enough to do it. I bet this guy will be working till he's 6 feet under.

No mortgage and ~$75K / yr household income. He's 40 and he owns a house and a lambo.. paid with cash for both. He's obviously more resourceful than most ppl. I have a feeling he's still got a bunch saved up.
The important thing is he bought the house first not the car.

you're funny. yes it'll depreciate but it's still worth something. very, very few cars actually increase in value, everyone knows that.
