Summary

A car dealer sued the former owner of a Lamborghini Urus for breach of a Vehicle Purchase Agreement after discovering the car's odometer had been tampered with — the actual mileage was 18,075 km rather than the stated 9,000 km, which voided the manufacturer's warranty and caused a prospective $965,000 sale to fall through. The key issue was the measure of damages for the mileage misrepresentation, with competing expert valuations. The District Court assessed damages at $20,000, accepting the expert evidence that the difference in value between a 9,000 km and 18,075 km Lamborghini Urus was modest.
