Much cheaper one at Elms, though blue rather than green.
i know, but this green one is oh so perfect...... pass me a tissue!!!offered 100K (which is still way too much for a 07/57 plate car last serviced 09) and politely rebuffed!!!!
and why do dealers always have a.n.other person ready to buy at full list price.....?

The roof and spoiler look dire imo though......
think they might have been trying for the se look...... wrap can be removed, unfortunately the rear spoiler and mirrors are resprayed..... given wing should be housing reversing camera, i wander if the original is still available???i'll repeat my offer in a few weeks, minus interest.... here;s hoping no ones daft enough to pay asking price!

I would say that Amari has read this post and knows what cards your bow holding!
sorta told him (s am) this is what i would be doing anyway after he rejected my 100k offer....he said he will never call a buyer back, so i said i would watch this space, and call him back if it remained unsold....plot thickens however... this has just come up.... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3191934.htm
and just secured first refusal with jan on the phone..... spartan by comparison i know, but so's the price!
biggest negatives are lack of e-gear and ehgine cover.... but given i am so keen on green or orange, can;t wait forever can i...

What would a dealer pay for that ? 70k -75k max ?
he said he paid 90+ for it and wants a margin of at least 5k, car also needs a service...maybe he has clients with more money than sense, though i would agree with you, for 110 better to go for the 560 or stretch to the superleggera...

this car started life yellow, and was resprayed VI in 2007 by the then owner, apparantly via a lambo dealer and there is a 6k invoice for it.....colour change is registered with the dvla, is this a bad thing?and just secured first refusal with jan on the phone..... spartan by comparison i know, but so's the price!

Going by your previous posts you offered £100k so its only £1k (1%) more than you wanted to pay so why arent you just biting the bullet and buying it?
had a wakeup call with everyone here bar no-one saying 100k is top dollar and overpriced....if it was going to be a keeper, or the g was my dream car, i would, but the g is to satisfy a lambo itch i have, so resale is important....would be daft of me not to listen to those on here whose advice i welcome and receive....also, have first refusal on a 06 in lime green listed at 80k....yes spec is poor, but it might be a very long wait for the right car at the right price, so do i overpay for a right spec car or get a bargain of a low spec car....

Jperformance seem like they never actually have any cars and just post them on Pistonheads, you call up and they are 'under offer' or the adverts say 'DEPOSITE TAKEN'
one day he will have i car i intend to buy over the phone, and then we will see...car is marked sold as seen, meant to be sold to me, not sure it even exists in real life!!!
after a long and epic journey, i am pleased to announce that a gallardo resides in my garage and i have a mistress once more that is acceptable in a threesome! 
i would like to thank all that have helped along this path to fulfillment, and might pester you some more as to how to get the best out of it, esp the egear that is....
for those that doubted my intent, humble pie is available for consumption....
once again, thanks for all your help.... ps. if anyone wants to buy a gallardo, i;d be happy to advise, though my biggest recommendation would be get to meets and meet some owners....

Congratulations though, I hope you get as much enjoyment from the Gallardo as we'll have undermining it when you come to sell (just kidding). 
prepared for a bruising, 'cos i didn;t get a bargain.... but what doesn;t depreciate heh??some of them deserved a knocking imho, esp jpremature!!!
