Mileage has gone from 20k @ 2016 MOT to 34k @2017 MOT in May, and now 37k. So basically mileage has doubled in the last year....

Any knowledge of its history would be appreciated, in fact any general comments on it to be fair!

Or maybe the previous owner has actually driven it. Happens sometimes with cars, even Lambos.

They're owners of "similar cars". Both early pre-LPs by the looks of it.

OP, I wouldn't be put off by the mileage so long as the car, the test drive and the full service history checks out. And you could always use it as a bargaining chip. Check how many miles its done since the service in January.

Looks good to me, mind you the drivers seat looks a little tired from the photo's and 37K in 4 years is impressive hence the price

It's a lovely spec of car, I remember it when it was for sale first time around. I would have it in a heartbeat.

Looks nice, it I think it is overpriced, especially with that mileage.

Colour is very rare for Gallardo, but not huracan, but not worth a premium imho... so pricing optimistic given mileage, Black facelift with quart of miles only 5k more... big mileage hurdles for these cars are 20k and 30k in terms of resale prices I’d say

Yup, I'd agree - nice looking car but the price does seem a little high given the miles.

Depends on how far you can stretch your budget and which model you want. Another £15-£20K will get you a mint LP570-SL2 with a third of the mileage.

If you do go for it then push hard on the price.

Good luck!

This.

Stretch to the SL2. It is a much better car.

Good luck if you are looking this weekend. Definitely worth a visit. I have to say though, whilst mileage is comparatively high it is 4 years old, so 37k doesn't work out that high broken down on average per year. The more recent higher per annum mileages suggests someone was enjoying their pride and joy as it was meant to be enjoyed..by using it! I think any car will be much happier if it is actually driven. This one has on paper an impeccable main dealer history, so no reason to be put off at all.

Get a clutch wear reading on it though as that will be north of two grand to replace. Also, I agree the price has definite wiggle room. SL2 can be had for 15k more or thereabouts, I have one. Better car from a pure drivers perspective, but not as comfortable. Depends on your priorities I guess.

Anyway, view it, drive it, poke around, etc you'll do what you feel is right.

Pretty sure it was a hire car on K55 ECC, just take a look at google images for that reg. Just saying, not implying it's a bad car.

I saw a Rosso mars facelift G exactly the same as this one around three weeks a go with accident damage to the rear. Not necessarily this car but worth a mention.

I'm struggling to see how it being owned by a big rental company is somehow much better than a smaller company?

I assume it's being sold with full Lambo history so should be the same??
It's not just hirers 'ragging it' it's also what damage has it had?

It may never have been in a serious accident but I wouldn't be surprised if atleast a few panels had been damaged and definitely the bumpers..

Hire cars are always the fastest but I'm not sure I would want every Tom, Dick and Harry ragging my car without giving a monkeys about it.

Buyer beware. If this is not giving you enough signals I think you have already made your decision to buy because of the price ( which isn't that cheap for the mileage anyway )

The issue with hire cars is this.... No love.... Same can apply to a private car, but far less likely....

Love means on start up you don't touch the throttle until the engine has settled after a minute, time I just listen to the exhaust valves wide open... Mean's you don't throttle it until the oil guage says it's fine too.... Means you are not revving it at the traffic lights... Means you are not launching it.....

FSH or not, parts wear out, I'd not buy a serviced rental without a engine compression test and clutch/gear box inspection
