First Lambo- Gallardo purchase
Discussion
Thanks guys, I think it looks better in the flesh (rather than covered in shampoo) . I do like bright colours (green & orange) but a tad too loud for me.
On the first day, I had a group of kids asking me if they could take a photos and videos. Also a few commented about the car at the petrol station. More attention in day than my 997Turbo in a year.

So did you get it in budget.... Well done again
Thanks, it needs a few minor things addressing so the seller took that in to account. Apparently VVS offered to sell (SOR) the car for £105-£110k. Pricing the car was tricky as there are not many manual LP560. I was fortunate that I was first person to see it. A nice guy who has now bought an aventador. It was a nervous time buying privately but I got to see how the owner kept and maintained the car, rather than some spiel from the salesman 
I now have to sell a 996 privately though.

Congratulation! You'll enjoy owning the car and the corsa mode!:
A noob question but does the manual Gallardos have corsa mode too or is it my right foot?I am already thinking about painting the calipers yellow and doing something with the wheels. Not too keen on black wheels and love the look of SL wheels.

No Corsa is a mode for an e-gear Gallardo, which activates faster and more aggressive shifts.I am already thinking about painting the calipers yellow and doing something with the wheels. Not too keen on black wheels and love the look of SL wheels.

I remember trying to find that car a few years ago, well done. I did see it pop up on Autotrader this time too but was too slow.I am already thinking about painting the calipers yellow and doing something with the wheels. Not too keen on black wheels and love the look of SL wheels.
Check the classifieds as I have a set of LP570 SL wheels for sale along with my gold PUR RS05s.

I called the seller in the morning and went to see the car in the evening, with a provisional offer subject to inspection. It was fortunate that I was picking the family from Stanstead airport on the day, which was 30mins from the seller.Check the classifieds as I have a set of LP570 SL wheels for sale along with my gold PUR RS05s.
I will take a look at the classified. I am looking for the multispoke SL wheels, not sure if there is a model number for this.

I saw the advert whilst sitting on the plane before take off, when I landed, it was gone. Congrats on the purchase, great car.I will take a look at the classified. I am looking for the multispoke SL wheels, not sure if there is a model number for this.
You're right, the earlier mulitspoke SL wheels would look perfect on that. They are rare on the 2nd hand market having looked for a set over my 5 year Gallardo ownership, they occasionally come up for sale on ebay.de and via Eurospares. Good luck and enjoy the car.
