As for the Audi R8 shocks, yes they do leak but there is a company now that rebuilds them for around £200 - £300 I think and gives you a warranty to go with them. Although it is all still a hassle so I went for a non-magride car for this specific reason.

1 year warranty, think it works out around £500 per shock all in vs. £1k per shock OEM.

Trying to shift mine. Not one bid. Nada. Nothing. zilch.

Been told of a Performante spyder (Gallardo) that has been hanging around for a year with zero interest in it.

What car and spec are you trying to sell?

I too have seen the same cars up for sale for months and some are what you could consider to be reasonably priced from reputable dealers.

Just like the 720S thread the only way to shift something at the moment is to price it considerably less than equivalent cars.

I would say that 10/15% less than the next best motor should do it. If not, keep it & ride this storm out. The risk is, will things get better or worse, god knows!!

Unfortunately there is only one reason why your car isn't selling. It's priced too high. Gallardo values are dropping like a stone just now.

Not even attached a price to it.

Fancied a 458 but the dealership where the 458 is can't get anyone to bid on it.

Of course I could offer it up for a low price and get shot of it but that just seems daft to me.

However I have noticed cars, even the latest and greatest ones hanging around and not really selling. So I ask the question for those far more knowledgeable than me. Is the market slowing? Or do you sell you car in spring for those wanting something for summer?

Ah I see. I've had quite a few bids on my SL2 in the past month but they were all lower than I expected so I'm just going to keep it for now. Have you tried Motion 8?

My current train of thought is to do the same thing., Keep hold, ride it out and see what happens. SL2 is slightly different from mine though so maybe it is a little more desirable. But with every dealer under the sun calling a 2013 Gallardo a 50th it kind of muddies the waters somewhat.

I sold mine within 2/3 weeks back in April. I priced it lower than the others which were similar, I stayed strong with the price I wanted and it sold quickly.

Personally for the money, I don’t think anything Rivals these cars so there will be a buyer.

I have been interested in trading up to a Gallardo or Ferrari in recent months but it feels like prices across the board are dropping and signs are the market is slowing (this is strictly from a personal point of view of watching the 'for sale' ads over the last couple of months).

There are now LP Gallardo's below £90k (including a 2013 MY) and the odd one or two LP's even below £80k. Even then they still seem to be hanging around. Not sure of the price gap historically but surely if the LP's are dropping the pre-LP cars will have to drop otherwise they will start sharing the same price bracket.

I hate this kind of thing. It's your job as the seller to specify the price of the thing you're trying to sell. The market then decides whether it's priced correctly, and if so, you'll get enquirers.

Never ever understood no sale price or POA! It's so bloody annoying. Surely to sell something I would assume that the price is quite an important bit of info!

Same as that red 12C that was for sale this week - £10k less than everything else and it sold in days!

I would agree. As a customer how do I even know if I want to waste both our time with a phone call? Your hoped for price might be 20k higher than I’m willing to pay and then we’re both frustrated and embarrassed. You’re banking on someone seeing it in the classifieds and falling in love with specifically your car so much that they just HAVE to find out what you’ll take for it.
Pick a price you’re happy with, mark it up a little so the buyer can feel they’ve knocked you down a bit, surely simple as that?

I tend to agree that you should set a price when advertising your car for sale. If you price competitively against similar cars for sale you will generally be able to shift it. Cars are only worth what people are prepared to pay. Punting too optimistically serves no purpose other than to have your car join the significant number of others out there that just sit about for months and months. From what I can tell currently, there is a lot of optimism out there at the moment and thus a lot of cars hanging around for a very long time.

If I were to market my 2011SL2 today, I would probably float it at around £118k, which is lower than most other SL2s, not that there are loads of these about at the moment. I paid £136k 2 years ago and given the joy it has brought me over that time, it more than makes up for the 18k hit, or possible £20k hit after negotiation.

You have to be realistic. Just my opinion.

And here's your problem. No advert. Dealer phoned who he knows.

I know someone who was looking, and frustrated at none for sale bought a performante instead....

Best time to sell is weeks leading up to le man's... We have had a good summer, but cars don't sell unless cheap in August....

Would be standing firm on price if only allowing £2k off on negotiation as a private sale but then again if its conservatively priced in the first place and not over inflated that's fair enough and the approach I would take.

Problem is some people want it both ways - £10k cheaper up front and £20k off on negotiation which is just unrealistic and wishful thinking.

This made me chuckle..!

'this storm' is just normal depreciation and supply exceeding demand.

Values are all going one way and I don't see this changing any time soon.

If there was a way to short the used Lambo market I'd be all in - but failing that if anybody disagrees with my assessment then let's make a wager!

(I'm speaking as a G Performante owner so in some ways of course I wish it ( the current market) wasn't the case..... but then I bought this car to drive & have fun with - not as an investment.)
