These guys flew to Seattle to buy a fake Lamborghini Diablo they found on Craigslist.
The car looks great, for a replica, but it’s marred with faults.
It looks the part, though.
So much so that some people were confusing it for the real thing.

The fake Lamborghini Diablo from Craigslist looks surprisingly good
For a kit car based on a Pontiac Fiero, which is what this is, this fake Lamborghini looks surprisingly convincing.
The Pontiac Fiero evidently lends itself particularly well to this sort of thing.
The Franken-monster with a Cadillac V8 a man in Arizona built is also based on a Pontiac Fiero, as are the wooden Lamborghini and Lamborghini Countach we saw a while back.
One of the main problems with these kit cars is they never work well, and this fake Lambo is no exception.
Nothing fits properly, especially the body panels, which rattle like crazy.
After negotiating for a bit, the guys from CboysTV YouTube channel managed to buy the car from the seller in Seattle for $22,500.
That’s the price of a used Honda Civid or Nissan Maxima, so it’s up to you to decide whether that’s money well spent on a fake Lambo.
Is buying a fake supercar a good idea?
Several people own or have owned fake supercars and there seems to be a consensus: it’s fun for about five minutes but not a good idea in the long run.
Two people who own fake Lamborghinis, a fake Murciélago and a fake Huracán respectively, agree that fake supercars cause headaches.
Reliability is often an issue, with suboptimal build quality and components that don’t match or fit.
Sometimes you hear horror stories, such as the guy who bought a wooden Lamborghini that disintegrated after a few miles.
But even in the best of circumstances, it seems fake supercars range from horrible to ‘meh’ at best.
