Not Your Find of the Day: the $5 Lamborghini

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Have you always wanted a Lamborghini, but just couldn’t afford one? Well, want no more. Even the most humbly budgeted of car enthusiasts can now afford this fiery bull, because it only costs $5. Admittedly, though, that might still be more than it’s worth.

That’s because although this was once a 5.0-liter V10-powered Huracan, this particular example went full Lamborghini and caught fire, leaving little more than four bent wheels and the outline of seats.

The damage is so extensive that, if it wasn’t for the seats, you’d hardly be able to tell which direction this car was supposed to move in.

The car is from Louisiana and the seller has helpfully pointed out that it won’t start, so that might put you off. Honestly, it seems like all you’d get for your $5 is a pretty big pile of garbage to get rid of.

On the other hand, it could be worth $5 and your afternoon (plus however much the dump charges you) to be able to say that you’ve owned a Lamborghini. Or, with April Fools’ Day coming up, this could be the perfect time to buy your 16-year-old child their first car. Sure, it may damage your relationship with them, but on the other hand you could film it and go viral. Just remember to give us a shout out in your video.

Whatever the case, take a look at the posting for yourself at iaai.com.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
