Thoughts on this gallardo perf spyder?

It's hard to know if prcing is well since there's no comparables.
Hopefully someone will know more about the car and price before I enquire.

I did consider a 600LT, but unsure on depreciation etc and have a soft spot for Gallardo's.

600LT is a scalpel whereas gallardo performante is a sledgehammer with a characteristic gearbox.

Looks like it's due a major 12th year service so with time related repairs I reckon budget for min £3k if not £5k

motion8 always have good stock, it does look very nice, has lift and CCBs

just for info, my car is 10 years old, has only 3.5k miles, and had not needed any extra work/anything wear or tear done... a well looked after car will not need bits replaced just on account of age

re servicing, interval should be 1 year or 7.5k miles, so there is not a strict need to keep to the schedule when low miles, and the 2nd, 4th and 6th all differ a little, so do review the service history carefully to see what should be next

harsh, but

Is the money good for the mileage?

Agree re the 600LT, the v10 noise is unreal.

Haha, I've done 11k miles in e gear gallardo thanks, and though I've not done many miles in the anniversario the miles I've done are not motorway without changing gear

Seems a fair price

[70proof]

Cheapest performante so fair price in that regards, only you can decide if its worth extra over a similar age 560-4 spyder...

The 5604 got a face lift in 2013, it's not an anniversary edition, some liked the looks, I really like the buckets and alcantara interior of the 570 versions

i think this car was owned at some point by kds keltec.... the detailer ... will be immaculate if he is the last owner.....call him

In fairness, I’d imagine the 5704 perf spyder would hold its money pretty well

Correct! I’ll drop him a message in the morning, thank you for showing me.

Always liked the look of these and at that price alot of car for the money. Own a 600LT Spider and whilst not as great a sound as a V10 it's still a hoot acoustically with the pop and bang downshifts.

The gallardo/huracan v10 is one of the greatest engines ever, not just for noise

I'd say your £££ is def. safer in the G rather than the 600LT. Had Lambo's and McL's. One of the few I miss is my old 2013 50th Anni Ed. The drop on the V10 is addictive Funny enough Motion 8 sold it for me back in 2017. Matthew & Chris are top chaps.

[sardis]

Hi all. It is my car and indeed it was owned by Keltec so has full ppf etc. Not sure about the boundaries of sales rules so just PM for any details. You can find a thread where it appears if interested. It is priced to sell rather than speculate.

Hope you selling to get a tecnica, lovely car
