Been watching them for a year now, and although prices don't seem to have moved much if anything (especially the Roadster), neither have the cars - most of the cars advertised seem to have been for sale for ages! What is going on?

Sold mine back to the dealer for near what I paid for it and they sold it on in less than a week. But there does to be a few cars lingering!

Bought mine earlier in March (Roadster in white) before it was even advertised.

A couple in Lambo Manchester before this were sold the same way before mine (were offered to me but not the right spec/colour I was after).

Cars for sale on PH has floated from 22-28 at any one time since late summer last year. Some are overpriced, some don't exist, some are with the wrong type of Dealer and some have history.

This said, it's a limited market (small) and big Lambo's have traditionally been harder to shift as a rule anyway.

Good ones sell before they even come onto the market.

I called after a few that never existed when I wanted to view them. I'd only buy from a main dealer. The thought of buying a 1/4 million pound car surrounded by 30euro boxes for me doesn't compute. I want the dealers full attention and ability if I have a problem with the car.

I have been thinking that there must be a "hidden" market for these. Many of the non main dealer cars advertised on PH seem to have been on here for well over a year. The roadster is spectacular and even at £320k seems good value considering there is nothing this side of a Pagani that competes visually. The forthcoming Mclaren replacement for the 12C/650S will be a competitor (they will be moving it up to the Aventador segment), but the Spyder may not appear until 2017-2018. So values for the Aventador seem safe for now.

The White Roadster with black wheels at Romans has sold today apparently.

According to their Twitter anyway.

So that's another sale

With Spring (not quite) in the air - I suspect a lot of roadsters will shift pretty quickly.....
