Unfortunately people hunting for pre lp cars are looking for a bargain, rather than paying a few extra dollars for a mint car.... Fair enough I priced it high earlier this year, but now, think its very fair

Doesn't help the ads are full of spoof ads from certainly one trader, and Haymarket tolerates this.....

I think £80k is fair enough for that particular rare spec car and there is already a huge gap up to the LP cars. Is there more than £15k difference in value between a 2008 and 2009 model ?

Come early spring it will sell and be worth exactly the same so I wouldn't worry too much unless you have something lined up to replace it imminently

there was no my09 gallardo, only lp cars by then. so, a 2009 gallardo is a my08.... just sat around unsold until 2009....

some lp cars from i think late 2009 came with a four year factory warranty, all 2010 cars had a 4 year warranty, so this will affect values, as a factory warranty cannot be extended or added in the uk.. personally, don't think a years warranty is worth 15k, these are pretty reliable cars....

is an lp car worth more than a gallardo, for sure...... it feels far more refined around town, has 40bhp more, there are suspension, clutch and gearbox changes, so is sufficiently different to justify the price difference....
