“Lamborghini Newport Beach is proud to announce that we are fully capable of accepting Bitcoin as legal tender for vehicles,” said Lamborghini Newport Beach in a Dec. 5 article from BusinessInsider.com. They continued to say, “We are excited to be opening the door to this new currency.”
We’re glad to see dealerships accepting new ways for customers to purchase vehicles.
