Lets face it, even it was half that price you still would be saying "it's too expensive" or some other cop out excuse

Looks like a nice one to me, please buy it.

Seriously though, right colour, right interior, right spec (?), right price?

What is stopping you on this one?

Doesn't look high spec to me. The two extras mentioned - the nav and the reverseing camera, are both aftermarket. I do however like the idea of a remote control stereo - reaching the one in the dash is a real bind. rolleyes

On the plus side, it has Callistos and the branding pack, but i'll wager no glass engine cover.

half the price would be great, but a tad unrealistic.....

not certain why you would say that, i offered JPerf the full 80K for his low spec lime green 06 gallardo, positively tried to force the money into his accounts....

For me when we are in the level of these sorts of cars I don't care for nav, premium audio, bluetooth or parking sensors.

For me spec is more about wheels, colour, interior trim ... Only thing I would have wanted on this car is the stock head unit rather than alpine (even without nav or whatever) and the glass engine cover.

No that's dodgy. Should be serviced annually. Would be concerned that low use and no tlc would leave a lot of bugs to be discovered when you start to use it.

Would walk away.

Should really have had a service every year as previous poster pointed out. So 09, 10 & 11 (this year).
Also it should have one 7.5K service too rather than all just annuals. 3rd year old brake fluid? hmmm.
Seems cheap on the face of it, but non standard head unit, standard calipers (ok you have them painted I know) & aftermarket reversing camera, although it does has some luxury in the branding pack. Am not sure it is really that cheap then.
When is it out of warranty, or I guess that is irrelevant as it's not been serviced in accordance with schedule so null & void anyway I suppose.
