'std' Gallardo or Superleggera?

[ahaughton]

Hi,

I'm looking at purchasing a Gallardo (first Lambo and boy I'm excited!!!!) and have approx 100K budget. From experience is the Superleggera worth the extra money because I can get a 2007 for that sort of money or a 'normal' Gallardo (same year) for 10K+ less?

Cheers,

A

I just got my superleggera a few weeks ago so I am biased but I think it is worth it!
I had a 'standard' one before and appreciate the difference. However, the Superleggera might not appeal to you in the same way. If you can test drive both I would do so and make your own mind up.

Thanks for that, I suspect I'm going to fall for it as I did when I test drove a Noble M400 - didn't even bother testing the Sagaris I'd originally gone to look at

What's 'better' about the Superleggera?

if you can find an untracked sl, then it's absolutely worth the extra

But how, other than asking, can I tell if it's been untracked?

A tracked car wouldn't put me off at all. I'd take one over a garage queen to be honest.

provided it's not that orange SL that keeps getting crashed in the races

This was Shoebag's car - never tracked.

Great car

I have a standard/normal Gallardo, and REALLY want a SL but just can't justify double the money for what is 'the same car'. Or can I?!

Keith I need to come see yours!

lovely looking car but just a tad over my budget....

I had a cooking Gallardo for a year and couldnt accept that there would be such a difference between that and the SL, so bought a MY05 Murci and happily owned that for 2 years.....until a mate lent me his SL for a weekend in June!!

Murci was gone in 2 weeks, 08 SL replaced it...no brainer.

They really are rather good indeed

I can quite believe it! I'm really trying to talk myself out of one! ha ha
