Lamborghini on the Lot in West Salem

It’s fast, it’s loud, and it costs nearly one $160,000.
"It's something to kind of grab your eye. We have about ten to fifteen people stop a day to look at it. We're out there taking pictures with them. We've taken a few people on rides in it,” says Sales Manager Josh Anderson.
This powerful Italian stallion has a 520 horse power engine and can reach speeds of more than 200 mph.
The car, which is on display and for sale at premier auto group in West Salem, isn't available for just anyone to test drive but Anderson says you should come out and take a look anyway.
"We get a lot of people that do want to drive the car. We try to qualify the customer before we give them the keys to drive it. You probably get five people a day that do want to drive it, but we can't just let everybody drive it."
Anderson says this grown up toy has less than 10,000 miles on it and gets about 12 to 15 miles to the gallon highway.
"The reason we keep a car like this on the lot is it's kind of like a toy for the older folks. Instead of having the toys for the kids this is one of the big boy toys."
Anderson doesn't get the chance to drive the Lamborghini much but when he does he enjoys it.
"It's unbelievable. Me personally, I've never driven this vehicle this far and it's something else when you get behind the steering wheel of something with this much power."
Anderson says most of premier's high end sports cars sell online to people in California, Arizona and Florida.
