possibly the quickest way to half your potential resale market is to buy a car without lifting gear

Excellent news, thanks, not that i`m about to sell

if i have the correct 2007 car, then this would trouble me :

Service History
1st Service @ 2085 Miles 06/03/2009 Lamborghini Manchester

2nd Service @ 6975 Miles 06/04/2011 Service Amari

Next Service Due @ 13975 Miles

That's the one and that had also put me off, the other one is now sold....verdict is I'm going to buy a 430...just kidding, I'm going to wait for a lower owner car with lifting gear...I need the full key when I come to sell!!!

not sure lifting gear is as essential as that....

this is UH matt's old car, he changed the clutch and had a major service done before he sold it, and it hasn;t done many miles since apparantly....

I believe Amari also have a Supercar hire operation?

due to wear ... matt had to reverse uphill on full lock to park = worn clutch!!

I thought lifting gear was standard on a Spyder?

Useful,I did use mine a coup,e of times.

Lifting gear nice to have but not essential.
I've never scraped mine on any ramps/bumps.
Have looked underneath and its never been scraped either.

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a Gallardo and wondered if there are any colour combos to avoid or to snap up if they are good?
There's an orange SE at £79k...will the SE hold value better than a Spyder?
Plenty of Black spyders with low miles for £85k.... O ne with tan interior...is that a bad thing...is black on black safer for resale?

I change cars every 6 months so need to buy at the right price and haven't been following G prices...

Is lifting gear essential too?


Any advice gratefully received!

The secret is, dont faff, faffing is for pussies.

I decided I wanted a Gallardo Spyder Tuesday of last week, by the Saturday I had one on my drive.

Thankyou, such a shame I was tempted by the inferior brand known as Ferrari, I wont be going there again. But I suppose it's a box ticked.
