I'm looking at changing my 360 and was considering either a Gallardo, 612 or 575M.

I haven't driven either yet which clearly I need to do if it stops snowing, but was intersted in opinions from those who have done the same.

Is it worth hanging out for an e-gear Gallardo or are they trouble, also I love the Orange but will it get killed come re-sale and I should have black?

Are 575s going to take a hit now the 599 is comming out, and are they feeling a bit old compared to a 612?

Will 612s continue to drop and where do we think they'll bottom out?

All thoughts gratefully recieved.....

Here's some advice...

don't buy any of those unless you have cash to blow.... go for something 360...


I know all that, I'm looking to move FROM my 360 wto something else.
I've had a 355 & had the 360 for 2 1/2 years fron new so I am familiar & can live with the costs.

Looking more and more like a Gallardo at the moment.

So orange or black then?????

Are you putting the 360 in the classified section to try and half the margin?


Might you be interested?

It's a jolly lovely thing?

Guy's probably been offered 75k trade and is trying to get a few more quid


Hey, the "guy" in question had never proffered his 360 as a sale.

Not what I came here for but it sounded like he might be interested so I replied.

Having been and driven both a 575M and a Gallardo yesterday I think I now know where I'm going.
The 575M is and awesome car, happy to pootle along at 40mph in 6th then go like stink and with so much usable grunt, but I can't help thinking it's looking a little dated inside and I don't thing I'm old enough for one just yet.

One to save for when I'm in my 40s.

But the lary yellow Gallardo, yes we like that a lot!
It didn't feel that much quicler than my 360 and I was suprised the engine didn't have more torque for such a big motor, but what a gallactic thing up close.

And in the yellow, so "in your face" I love it.

A very pleasant afternoon and the usual exemplary service I've come to expect from Graypaul.

Guys,

What's the cheapest 612 anyone's seen?


At a dealer, £129k, but apparently one went at auction for £100k.

If it's a manual in a nasty colour I could believe it.
