Hi guy's after a bit of advice!!
The dealer i brought my 360 off about 7 months (7,000 miles) ago, has offered me the same money back for it against Lambo Gallardo!!
04, 14,000 miles. So now i'm thinking about upgrading! (Although i must say i do love the 360!!!) Had a good chat with Ted191 the other night (Thanks!) but thought id see what everybody else thinks on here.
I like to use the car quite a bit, and must say i love the way sounds and drives etc!!!
Cheers

Is the G sensible money, in a good colour with decent spec?

Yes Gallardo is in my favorite color (nice and bright!!)Money seems about right £83,000. No Nav, but 1 owner, full history, 12 mnts tax etc, and 12 months warranty!! (not sure about claim limits etc!?)

Just do it, The 360 is a great car but the Gallardo is just in another league in every aspect. You'll definately notice a difference in just the addiotnal attention you get.

PM me if you want to know some more about running costs etc.

Having owned both a 360 & Gallardo I would agree - the Lambo is just a better car

hanks Traxx! I must admit i love the 360, and am a bit concerned that the Gallardo will be a bit like my old RS6, very quick but not that much fun!!
Saying that i went to Lamo High Wycombe today to see one up close, and think it looks stunning!

Are you certain they are giving you the right price for the Gallardo?
If so I would certainly trade up (not least because as more and more people move from 360 to 430, 360 prices will keep falling)

The 360 is a great car, but you will find the Gallardo is more fun


btw it is possible to get the Lambo/Audi Navigation added

I would think he would offer youytour moeny back against a gallardo!!

just be aware you wont be getting a similar deal in 7 months time for the gallardo! Very big dealer spread on these cars and few buyers when you want to sell it!!

So 360prices keep falling....... and the lambo- a more expensive car with hard depreciation goes......!!!!

Dell, most owners had high-end 911s or a 360 Modena priorto their G.
As these are generally the benchmark for pearless handling I think you can safely assume the Gallardo is nothing like your RS6 (though, if I had an RS6, I'd keep it as well).
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so get a test drive.
Good luck.

You will not find any comparison between the RS6 and the Gallardo, this "they are just audi's" is a snipe put about by the haters who im entirely sure have never even sat in a G let alone driving one.

its like comparing a night of rampant bounce with a 16 stone bier garten wench from munich (the RS6) and Linda Evangelista (the Gallardo). it can both be technically described as sex but theres probably only one experience you will still be telling your mates down the pub about 20 years later (unless you like big girls that is....yikes )


You should by the Gallardo without question. You only live once and its too good a car to miss out of the must own before you die list.
