New toy...

[bertie]

So despite the doom mongers best efforts I've gone and done it and changed my 360 for the car below.

Should pick it up Friday, can't wait!

Is that the one at the back of the showroom at Lamborghini London? If so, looks even more stunning in the flesh

[bertie]

No, it's the one at the back in Lambo Manchester, still looks stunning in the flesh (to me!)

[v-neo]

Congrats - i'm 10 minutes from the dealership so if you want to meet up sometime let me know - i have a silver egear.

[bertie]

Thanks, a quastion for any Gallardo owners with the sat nav.

Is the MP3 sd card slot standard or optional?
Ditto the bluetooth phone and TV?

Also from searching around I think the front end lift system is standard on US cars but not UK, correct??

Cheers.

Give it a rest, your 355 was useless, your Gallardo was a money pit, stick to the Merc SLk and give us a break.

Someone more of a wind up merchant than me might say that's why I've bought a year old one that some fool has already taken the £30k hit on.

Anyway, do I really care?

Thanks for the positive comments, yes I'll enjoy it mate.

Sorry to get you going again but if you dont mind i dont know the exact figure of a new gallardo could you let me know. Im sure iv never seen a year old gallardo for less than 100k(RHD) and i thought they were about the 120 mark.

Thanks, I think I will!

[bund]

Is yours brand new Bertie?

[bertie]

Nope, as I mentioned it's just a year old.

I've had it from Lambo Manchester but hopefully service will get easier when Graypaul (Sytner) open their Birmingham dealer in a month or two.

is it not just politeness between a few people?

[jdh1]

All this suff about Gallardo depreciation...is there any reason why they should depreciate any faster than another similarly priced car? Or is it simply the case that the car has tempted a lot of people out of their price comfort zone, and they're now finding out what other £120k+ car buyers knew all along?

Exactly. A 12k car will probably be worth 9k after a year, same % just more significant numbers.

[dealmaker]

Don't forget there were a number of "speculators" and people (a la Chris Harris) who thought they could run a Gallardo "on the cheap" because of the high demand - trouble is too many of these sorts bought the car upseting the supply/demand curve.

Prices will no doubt stabilise over time - they probably are now - but anyone who thinks they can buy a NEW six figure supercar and NOT lose big money on it is kidding themselves frankly.
