Motoring.asiaOne.com's 'Man hires workers to destroy his Lamborghini:'
________________________________________________________________________
"A Chinese business was displeased with the level of customer service given by the dealership.
Fri, Mar 18, 2011
QINGDAO - One man went to the extreme of having his Lamborghini Gallardo, an Italian supercar, destroyed in public on World Consumer Rights Day three days ago to show his dissatisfaction with the carmaker's services.
He even recorded and broadcasted the event live on China's micro-blogging service, Weibo.
According to an online user on video-sharing website Youtube, the businessman from Qingdao, Shandong province in China, said the engine of his sportscar, a Lamborghini Gallardo L140, failed to start on Nov 29, 2010, just six months after he bought it.
The report said he contacted the Lamborghini dealer in Qingdao and a trailer of a maintenance service provider was sent to deliver the car to a workshop.
However the businessman found out the problem was not resolved when the car was returned. Worse, the bumper and chassis were also damaged, probably during the towing, according to the report.
When the owner pointed out the problems at the workshop, they denied any wrongdoing, the report said. The owner then tried to escalate the issue to executives higher up in the corporate hierarchy but "no one took responsbility for what had happened", the report said.
The owner decided to hire a group of construction workers to destroy his sportscar on World Consumer Rights Day, March 15, to attract attention to the problem of consumer rights in China.
The report said that he felt this was the only way he could protest against Lamborghini China's lack of high-quality service.
Lamborghini China said in the past three months, it has never given up on repairing the vehicle and has actively sought to meet all the requests of the dealer and the owner and raised numerous solutiuons. It also said it was apologetic for the inconvenience that the repair work has caused the owner and felt regret at the smashing of the Lamborghini.
In China, a Lamborghini Gallardo retails for around 3 million yuan ($584,700), depending on specification.
