thinking of this gallardo - any thoughts please

[memps]

coming over from ownership of a few 911's and now carless
this caught my attention
i want a manual & in grey - not overly concerned with the milage & may just about fit into the garage
never had dealings with this seller either
does anyone have any insight to the car or the dealer
looks very tempting

Positives - it's an 06 model year manual

Negatives - does it have any options other than nav at all? Most cars at least had the branding pack but this doesn't even have that! Also has the cheaper (and earlier) wheels rather than the Callistos.

I looked at it when it was originally up for £62k I think with another dealer in Kent. It was either £60k or 62. It disappeared and then reappeared a few weeks later with this dealer at just under £70k and then has sat there for what must be 6 months now, with a reduction in the middle.

The market has looked stagnant for quite some time at the lower end IMHO and the car might be more a victim of the market than indicative of anything else.

I considered this car when I was looking for a Gallardo in the summer. I liked the colour but the mileage put me off, only as it would be difficult to sell on.

I am not sure about the current market though, I got a surprisingly high offer for my manual LP560 recently.

Anyone know what that dashboard message means?

Is it an estimated cylinder count?

It means there's an issue with the left hand cylinder bank (cyls 6 - 10). I wouldn't buy it until that had been investigated and sorted... It may just need a good blast to clear it, though. Helpful of the dealer to point it out!

Is an engine warning light, but everything back to the exhaust evap system.... You can get with a low fuel tank, should clear though

It’s a normally a 02 sensor issue, It’s something to with the cylinder banks. Sometimes running the car on normal unleaded or not tightening the fuel cap properly can cause it to come on.

‘My 07 Spyder used to get that warning and it would go off after driving for 10 minutes.

It’s worth getting it checked out properly though.

The date displayed may indicate a tired battery (which in turn can cause electrical oddness).

i've had a 1-5 or 6-10 after the car's been heavily rained on !

worth getting it checked-out though
