Lamborghini offering 0 percent financing on Murcielago LP640 models

10/14/2009, 4:44 PM

By Drew Johnson

With the downtrodden global economy still taking its toll on top-tier vehicle sales, Lamborghini has announced a new finance program that should make it a little easier for the super wealthy to get behind the wheel of one of Sant’ Agata’s finest.

Dubbed the Lamborghini Retail Finance Plan, the new program offers up to 60-months of 0 percent financing — for well-qualified buyers — on 2009 and 2010 Murcielago LP640 Coupe and Roadster models.

“The Lamborghini Retail Finance Plan allows enthusiasts to finance one of most exclusive cars on the road at a more competitive rate than ever before,” said Pietro Frigerio, Chief Operating Officer of Automobili Lamborghini America, LLC. “We are pleased to continue our relationship with Volkswagen Credit as well partner with Woodside Credit, an established financing organization in collector and specialty cars, in order to provide several financing options to our clients.”

For those individuals with a credit score of 700 or higher – plus a down payment in the amount of 10 percent of the vehicle’s sticker price – the new program can offer interest rates as low as 5.99 percent for up to 12-years. If your credit tops the 740 mark, u can take home a new Lambo with 0 percent financing for up to 60-months.

i read it will coast u over 5000 a moth witch would mean it would coast you only 720,000 for you new Lambo. not including the 10% down payment. you can almost buy 2 Lambos for that or a bunch or a zr1, viper, Shelby mustang, Aston martin dbs and a few others with the cash left over.

Zesty Honda,

you are right, unless you have a boat load of cash sitting around, why would you finance such a car?
Well, since I am not on that boat anyway, actually my boat sunk while back so why bother? :-)

Seriously if you need help financing a Lambo, then you really can’t afford it, period. Who are these Italian knuckle heads think they are fooling?

Give me a f–in beak already.

worst3 – the article you referred us to clearly states the $5310 payment is for the 60 months at 0%, which only comes out to $318,600, not $720,000, plus the down payment.
I am sure there are no rebates for paying cash like every other manufacturer has in lieu of the 0%. Any wealthy person would be an idiot not to take the 0%. Even if they are earning a measly .5% on their boat loads of cash, you are still better off taking the 0%

I’m with ICEMAN, if you need help financing this then you can’t afford it…. I know a guy who is the shop foreman for a Mercedes dealer, and he is the only one qualified to work on their SLR McLaren. He told me that the very first service on a McLaren is 22 hours and involves dropping the entire engine just to replace the spark plugs.

I can only imagine the cost of 22 hours of skilled labor at a Mercedes dealer, on an SLR McLaren…

I highly doubt a Lambo would be any easier or cheaper to work on, the point is these cars are not only expensive to buy, they are insanely expensive to maintain. And if you break ANYTHING you are looking at thousands of dollars minimum to fix it.

I’m predicting a take rate similar to GM’s incredibly successful 60 day money back guarantee program.

Seriously, I much rather rent these cars, spent a weekend having fun and return and do not have to deal with all the expenses relate to buying or maintaining this kind of cars.
But once again, when you have that kind of money sitting around, you do not think like that. You actually live in another planet. That’s why if you need to financing such a car, you should not have it in the first place. You can’t afford it then!!!!

WAIT! Did he really say “u can take home a new Lambo”? (Very last sentence)

SERIOUSLY? I’m ok with LLNs quite common mispellings and grammatical errors, but that’s not even funny… This isn’t a text message or a tweet…

Where do I sign up? F*** the next 5 years of college, if I’m going be hundreds of thousands in debt, it might as well be for a good reason. And I’d happily live in a Lambo, it sure beats sleeping on a futon from ikea.
Just kidding. Stay in school and don’t do drugs.

@gta89mike
SRY you are right i read that wrong (thought it was 0% for the first 60 months), i read it wrong a few times. i thought it was a little high too, good thing i don’t work in finance, not really my thing. if zezty Honda is right it still 100k more with the 5.99% witch you could still get a lot of nice cars for that much cash, still almost most of the cars I said.

will a Lambo last 12 years?

Are you guys retarded, a financing offer for 0% fixed is an financing term YOU SHOULD take up no matter how much money you have in your bank(if you can afford the payment)!!! Even if I had millions in my bank, I would take this financing term(0%) than pay the whole car out of pocket!!!That’s like the bank giving a $300k loan for 6 years(or whatever) and asking you not to pay interest….THAT’S A GOOD DEAL FOR YOU!!! Stupid people these days….know nothing about money… The only problem with this loan is that you have to have tier 1 credit, and must have absolutely NO blemishes of any kind on your credit report.

if i ever buy a car in this class, i will walk into the showroom to pick up my car, ordered to my specifications, and set down on the salesman’s polished marble desk a brushed aluminum briefcase full of stacked 1,000 dollar bills…i will open the case facing me, spin the case around to face him, push it towards him…he will nod…i will return the nod…i will then grab the keys off of his desk and walk to my car, awaiting me outside…all without saying a word…

financing my ass!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love seeing the competition stooping to new lows to give their cars away to folks who would rather drive real cars like Corvettes and Camaros. Nobody wants your unreliable, low quality sh1t, save yourself the trouble and don’t bother because as this shows, obviously nobody wants it.

I can honestly say I’ve never heard of a Camaro being compared to something like a Lamborghini, but leave it to ^ that guy ^ to draw that comparison. In similar news – I’m thinking about trading in my Focus for a new Veyron.

Yes, I would rather have 12 Camaros for the cost of this 1 Lambo. ($35,000 per Camaro for a $400,000 LP640). I bet 12 Camaros COMBINED into one car wouldn’t be as nice as this Lambo. NMOFGM is a MORON. This is one of the best and most exclusive super exotic sports cars in the world. There are only a handful of cars that may be more exotic and premium than this. I will tell you that it isn’t ANYTHING from GM. Even the “magical” ZR1. I live in a modestly nice area here in metro Detroit and I see MAYBE 1 Ferrari OR 1 Lambo every few weeks during my driving, sometimes more. I see at least 2 ZR1’s per week. I also see 2 or 3 GT-R’s per week. These are mostly different cars of different ownership (different colors and options). Not the same car multiple times.
Anything “good size 3″ is a dime a dozen around here. That discredits them in my book. They are giving them away to anyone who has any ties to any big 3 company or supplier, which around here is 50% or more of the population. GM can suck it, though the Camaro and Corvette are nice cars, they are NOTHING compared to virtually anything from Sant’Agata Bolognese or Wolfsburg for that matter.

This car is incredible and if it takes 0% financing for someone to buy it, then do it. Interest on $400,000 is expensive to ANYONE. Look at it this way. 5.9% interest for 3 years on this car amounts to $37,423.73. That is some jack for anyone. This person could use that money to get a few stable mates for his LP640 in a pair of Ducati 1198’s for him AND his wife. Sounds like a deal to me. 2 Ducatis and a Lambo for just the cost (plus interest of course) of the Lambo…
Why am I still talking? I should be at the dealer now. Trade in the GTI and the Kawi and pick up a nice package.

I don’t post what I do for him. Where I live (Metro Detroit) EVERYONE is pro-American when it comes to cars. I just come here to vent and use NMOFGM as my catalyst. People will talk down about my car without knowing a single thing about it. How much power, how much it costs, fuel consumption, how fast, X. People like that drive me nuts. When I bash an American car I at least have some facts to justify my decision not to like it. People say they don’t like my car SOLEY because it isn’t American. Dumb asses.

Onward with any discussion involving anything VWAG.

Need more oil for GM, you are a dumb ass, Honda Civic 1.8 Lx and Toyota Corolla CE far more better cars than your Camaro and your Corvette’s. Honda Civic’s bought straight from the factory can do 0-60 times in 2.1 seconds compared to your camaro’s 4.6 seconds.
Toyota Corolla is even better, with a 726hp 1.8L 4 Cylinder, It can achieve 0-60 times in 1.5 seconds.

Did I mention that Honda Civic Si with a 2.0L 4 Cylinder, makes 850Hp,
and Toyota Corolla Xrs with a 2.4L makes 976 Hp, making it awfully close to the Bugatti Veyron 16.4
Honda Civic 2.0/850Hp/41mpg City/46 Highway
Toyota Corolla 2.4/976Hp/48mpg City/56 Highway
