Let's see, it's used, so that'll run you about...$200,000.

Motor Trend reports, "Lamborghini will soon be offering a certified pre-owned program through authorized dealerships."  In fairness, Lambo is the second Italian exotic builder to make the move.  "Lamborghini's main competitor, Ferrari, has offered a pre-owned program in North America since 2003."

Autoblog adds, "Details about how a used Lambo will be inspected or certified haven't been released yet, but sales will only be allowed through authorized Lamborghini dealers."

Mobile Magazine comments, "The process of a private sale can be quite the unnerving experience, because it's hard to determine right away whether there is something wrong with the car. You want the peace of mind offered by a dealership, right?" 

Brandweek notes, "Certified pre-owned, or used cars, are generally cars that pass a manufacturer's inspection -- with some having as many as 160 different points of mechanical and cosmetic examination -- before going on sale."   Tongue perhaps firmly-in-cheek, they note, "The practice is common among other, nonexclusive brands like Honda." 

And, we suppose, the guy doing the $70, half-hour used car inspection at the Sunoco on the corner might not be up on V10s, or be able to detect that the zero-to-sixty time has dropped to slightly over four seconds, indicating serious problems with the Gallardo you're considering.
