Discussion
I’m currently in a 430 and have been thinking about moving to a Scud. But I feel an itch for a Lambo, having not had one before.
I was looking at LP560’s that I seem to be able to get from a dealer for late £120’s on a 09 plate with low miles or late £130’s for 10 plate.
But then I saw a thread about potentially being able to get a 570 for £140k.
So, really just looking for thoughts on opinions for the best route and what sort of prices can be obtained with some negotiation with the dealer (I would Px my 430), plus whether the spec will affect the car in any significant way.
I don’t want to take a complete bath when I move the car on, probably in 1 or 2 years, and recognise that probably none of these would be an ‘investment’- not sure the affect the new Lambo will have when it arrives. I’m guessing that now is a good time to buy as I doubt dealers are very busy yet with poor weather and bonus season not yet underway with the banks.
I do appreciate the advice I get on this forum.
Many thanks.

Scud is an interesting buy, I think. I did a road trip last year with a few friends, one driving a Scud another a 458. The Scud seemed much more raucous, especially the exhaust note, though the 458 was pretty mega on the trip overall.
Given the way CS prices have held up some Scuds seem remarkably close in price so I would imagine a Scud beats most Lambos in depreciation terms over the next few years. Could just be THE supercar bargain of 2012?

i recently had an itch for a 570 or scud, but like you can't see were they are going price wise though scuds do seem fairly safe, i would guess the 560/570 will unfortunately fall further than the ferrari, i also looked at the 1st gen superleggera these are holding firm probably due to the limited buil

+1 The Gallardo is coming to the end of its production and there have been many variations compared to the Scud, which could (probably) hold value better like a CS. More than your budget, SonnyM is right they do hold better prods best to avoid that bad itch when it comes to selling...

Also Arguing that prices migth dip due to Gallardo coming to end of production... well 430 is out of production too
New G is 2 years away, and no doubt just like the 458 is going to be lots more expensive. The 458 has not affected 430's yet and been out a while now.
Only issue I see is that if the new Gallardo is 2 years away then 2011/12/13 cars are competing with 458's...
458 prices will drop soon to 160/170k imo & then it will be a bad time to be holding a late model G...
Genuine limited edition models I doubt will be affected but lately the G models have become a bit... well... desperate...

The sticker of the 458 was so much more than the 430 that its arrival did nothing to hurt 430 values. I would imagine that 430 values would stay fairly stable for a while now.Imagine what a 458 Scud will cost? £250k? A 430 Scud at circa £120k might be looking pretty smart.
I did read recently on a FMLB thread that someone had been ofered a 570 SL for £140k- personally I've not seen one below £150k- I would be interested in getting into one of those at the £140k mark as that will probably depreciate less than a 560 I would guess.
Or, as someone else has said, maybe a 550 Balboni. Less money but still a bit more of a rarity factor that should keep depreciation down?

570 production is not limited, and so depreciation is as per 560Or, as someone else has said, maybe a 550 Balboni. Less money but still a bit more of a rarity factor that should keep depreciation down?
550 balboni is identical to 550, save for some questionable stripes. 550 production is not limited...

Aha, thanks for that. Didn't know. I was under the impression that the 570 SL was a limited run.550 balboni is identical to 550, save for some questionable stripes. 550 production is not limited...
Anyone else heard of 570 SL's available now at the £140k mark?
