I agree, they would have filled all 500 cars if they allowed it. It would be nice if they did not sell all of them through out the rest of the world that they bring the remainder back here.

i am pretty sure they know the high demand back in japan, but they don't want to make it look silly to have 250 lfa in japan and not so many around the world. it seems to me that they are still trying to push lfa here in the US but they are not having enough buyers. maybe if that doesn't work out they will start moving some cars back to japan

Annual Income: $1,000,000
Mortgage/Rent: Up to $280,000
Car: Lamborghini Murcielago, $354,000
Dining Out: $21,600
Entertainment: $20,400
Clothing: $15,000
Travel: $40,000
IRA: $100,000
Private University: $43,950
Health/Car/Life Insurance: $7,500
Federal Income Tax: Married: $320,362 / Single: $327,684


To afford a $350,000 vehicle, you should probably take in roughly $1,000,000 per year pre-tax.
Dining Out: $21,600
Entertainment: $20,400
Clothing: $15,000
Travel: $40,000


I fail to see why you would need to spend $265 per day every day for a year on these things. I don't buy it. This is also assuming you own a $4M home with 10% down. Also not a requirement for a $350k car. But the again it kind of calls to question the financial sense of owning a $350k car period. There are a lot of things wrong with that financial model haha.

I could EASILY spend 21k a year dining out! About every other week Ill take my girl and spend $250-300 a meal without drinks (shes 20 no point in drinking nice drinks without her). one time I was out at dinner a 24 year old picked up a $17,000.00 tab. Steak and other stuff for 7 people and 4 bottles of wine. 6k for one, then two bottles at 3k and another at 5k.

If I were you, I'd buy it.
