Gallardo Purchase: Pre LP v LP560-4
Discussion
Congrats on the car. They are brilliant machines and sound glorious. Just wait till you hear it when you first fire it up (cold start) sounds epic.
to save your clutch, just leave it in sport or corsa. Corsa gear changes are a bit neck snapping though. Mine is permanently in Corsa.
If you come to a halt pull both leavers towards you to engage neutral. Do this is in stop start traffic as well.
Never had mine in auto.
Basically, just drive it like a manual and you can't go wrong.
Oh and pics as soon as you get it

What is the meaning of the 'corsa' mode? Is sports a sporty auto? e gear obvs eGear and corsa like a super sports mode or?
Corsa just makes the gear changes faster but there is a bit more to it though. When pressing on in sport it will change up if you let it get to near the redline, in corsa it won't. I've also noticed it will change down for you if it thinks your in the wrong gear for the speed you are doing when in sport and in corsa. But essentially, you still need to change gear yourself with the paddles (down shifts are to die for). Once you drive it you'll see what I mean. It's different in the pre LP cars apparently.
When you get it, flat shift in corsa, it's awesome!
You'll also need it in corsa if you want to do launch control. TC off, Corsa on, press brake, pull paddle to engage first, put foot flat to floor, release brake. Sounds like you leave your gearbox behind when you do it. I've checked, you don't

Just had a call from the dealership. Looks like the car may have been sold by another salesman getting there wires crossed before I've viewed. Great.

You mean put the car into neutral before you come to a stop, not when you come to a stop, right? Like dipping the clutch on a manual.to save your clutch, just leave it in sport or corsa. Corsa gear changes are a bit neck snapping though. Mine is permanently in Corsa.

gotta love the way they're openly selling various build slots on their web site !https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

Yes, another advert where the dealer has no idea what he is selling. It gets my goat! It is a 5.2 not a 5.0! Probably eGear too, which is often quoted as Manual, like the F1 Ferraris.
No affiliation to the dealer but I think the issue is with Autotrader, where it picks up the wrong details based on the car reg. I had the same before when placing an ad on Autotrader.ElanS said:

Saw that on Sunday and called. Waiting news from my finance bloke now on quote and hoping to go Friday if still available.https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...
Thank you for the link though!
Also a white BiColare is on, which funnily enough was sold by Premier GT last week and listed 3k below what it is now!
Few options there though.
