But you don't know this car in person or know anything about it, do you?

Glad to hear your car is running great. I hope this one turns out well too. But Iam still worried about these two issues and I am still hoping someone can tell me if they are severe or not.

Hey Fadi is this you? Welcome to the 6 and from all my years of research the 04 is the least desirable year do to the no front lift and ecu shortcomings. I think that for a 5-8k more you can get a 05 that may be in better condition etc...

The ECU is a problem that can be easily fixed with the flash upgrade. I've heard of problems with the lift getting stuck at times as well from several people, so keep that in mind.

Exactly. This car has the updates, too.

Now, for an aftermarket warranty. Is there such thing as an aftermark warranty that is NOT bogus? Or do those things not exist anymore today??

you can get warranty from lambo dealer. they quoted me 6000 for 2 years of powertrain warranty.

Yes, I did. I got the car for an awesome price.

As far as an extended warranty, I already talked to my local Lambo dealer about it. They recommended an after market warranty company by the name of ACSC, a company locate out of FL. Dealer told me that one of their customers has this warranty on their 04G and that he had 11 warranty issues with the car. Each and eveytime ACSC paid for the problem. The dealer spoke highly of them and recommended them to me. Obviously, they (ACSC) have a proven record with my dealer of great customer service and hence, I will go with this company.

I am just waiting on the car now to be shipped to me..

P.S.- PM me if you want to know the price I got the car for.

The previous owner of the car was definitely **** about keeping it as perfect as humanly possible. Sounds amazing and draws so much attention.

Biggest thing to my surprise when I inspected this car in person was the exterior shape it was in. After a 20 min **** exterior inspection, I couldn't find more than two minor nicks in the entire car. I am very pleased with the way it was maintained.

The car will be here next week. I can't hardly wait for it. I will post pics.

Guys, I am trying to put my Fabspeed CF airbox on. I removed the 4 bolts that hold the stock airbox in place but the airbox will not come off. Is this glued on or something of that sort from the factory? Or do you think that it is on there like that because it hasn't been taken off for a while?? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I watched them remove mine, they do not come off that easy. They had to pry them off from the corners.
