People are very stupid.... why on earth would someone buy this at £58k when you could get a good one for not that much more.

As someone has said they've held their prices well and even gone up a little. Not surprising really, they're great cars for the money.

Hello there I'm the stupid person who has paid 58k for the manual Gallardo (the price of a L.H.D Egear) Great drive home still got a big grin on my face! biggrin

Go find another at that price!

Good luck with the car. Genuinely hope there are no nasty surprises for you. I might have been tempted at £35-40k.
I think the point the chap was trying to make, albeit rather rudely, was that a kosher car isn't that much extra outlay, and it is a bit of gamble buying a supercar with patchy history and a couple of unexpected bills could push the overall outlay (much) higher than a dealer sourced history'd car .

I hope everything goes well with the car. Gallardos are cracking cars and if it is sorted then will provide a lot of enjoyment.

Like you say, only LHD cars available at that price now.

Well firstly I guess a congratulations is in order. I wish you the best of luck with it and hope it's trouble free.

Personally I would not have bought the car as for £65k you could get a nice good condition & historied car. As they say though, horses for courses and all that!
