Hurrican Performante purchase - Anyones car?

[craig511]

Hello all,

Just sold my 458 and now looking to buy a Perf.

I have my eye on this one at Sytner Edinburgh. Only thing causing me to pause is the miles, 17k!

Does anyone here have any background in this specific car? Any owners on here ?

Thanks

The mileage per se wouldn't worry me. I can't see how many owners its had.

Spec looks right tho I wouldn't have painted the calipers and added the blue to the rear but that's personal.

Lift is a must and it has it, alcantara on the steering wheel looks good and that's often a sign of how real the mileage is.

Is the service history complete and does it need tyres?

Price is maybe a bit toppy but if you live locally it makes sense.

They are a great drive.

Oh and I see it has comfort seats with heaters - you might want to try one with sports seats and see which you prefer.

[Skittles001]

Agreed with all the above. The colour is amazing but not sure about the callipers and diffuser but easily reversible if you wanted to.

Seats as already mentioned are polarising - I specifically wanted buckets but others feel equally about the comfort seats.

Spec wise I don’t know what was an option and what was standard. For me the lift is a must as is car play and the MR suspension. Here is what was listed as an “option” on my Perf:

- 20in Loge Rims Forged with Red Central Locking
- Satellite Navigation System With Carplay
- Lifting System with Magneto- Rheological Suspension -
- Lamborghini Dynamic Steering
- Black Painted Brake Calipers
- Front and Rear Parking Sensors And Rear View Camera
- Style Package
- Branding Package
- Performante Interior with Laser Engraving
- Contrast Stitching
- DAB Radio
- Travel Package

Regarding the dealer - I have bought two Huracans (one being a Perf) from Lamborghini Sytner (albeit Birmingham) and the sales and after sales has been top notch.

The price seems decent. These seem to have gone up a bit over the past 12 months or so (like most super cars) and it’s 25-30k cheaper than low mileage Perfs from the same dealer.

Bought a couple of cars from these guys speak to Sam very helpful and will be up for a deal

[anonymous-user]

Those calipers are a step too far for me personally.

Looks like a Rod Stewart car

[craig511]

Thanks all.

It’s had 4 owners.

All fully serviced and maintenance by lambo dealers.

Comes with approx 16 months warranty from the dealer.

The CATs were replaced under warranty 2 years ago.

The callipers and rear diffuser were done recently by the last owner it seems.

15% wear on the brake pads.

Will come with 12month MOT.

Ideally I need comfort seats, I’m a fat bast@£d.

Question is, in 2 years time will a car with 30k miles on it be impossible to shift for a decent price, and what price would that be?

[zedmtrappe]

I don't mind the callipers and I could live with the rear diffuser stripes - but those items are relatively easily rectified if not.

Looks like you're paying £15-30K less for a car with c.10K more miles which on the face of it seems pretty reasonable.

The miles would not bother me at all - amazing we have somehow come to think of 17K miles on a 3/4 year old car as 'high'.

What I would want to find out is why it needed replacement cats 2 years ago - as far as I am aware that is extremely unusual for a Huracan ?

Value in 2 years time ? Depends - do you think the current market ( for everything..) is 'the new normal' or do you think a major correction is inevitable ?

2 years ago this would have been a £150K car.

Yes, CATS is a strange one

do factory huracan cats still have the same potential issues as gallardo ones ?

[craig511]

Here’s more info about the cats.

“ I can see the CATS having been replaced, under warranty, in December 2020, due to a lambda probe faulting.”

So it seems the sensor went taking the CATs with it.

[Fast Eddie]

Surely if the car was serviced regularly the failing sensors would have been noticed and replaced before they took the CAT's out?

Anyway, if they're done, they're done

[Spindoctor]

I thought the main issue with reported Gallardo CAT failure was the damage it could cause to the engine as the CATs break up. But wasn’t that pre-LP only?

[jdwoodbury]

No issues with CATS on the LP engines

[4321go]

Seems to be a common topic ATM! Cat problem was only with the 5.0 engine (which was unique to Lambo). The later 5.2 engine (which is supplied by Audi) is completely different.

Does anyone know what came with a 2018 hurrican Performante?

Did a car cover, trickle charge and tool kit/tyre kit come as standard like a ferrari? Should I be looking for these with the car?

[y700suf]

Most (not all) came with car cover, trickle charger, tyre repair kit (with trademark white gloves), basic toolkit AND model car. Last item depended on supplying dealer passing it on from factory.

Minimum you can expect is the tyre repair kit and basic toolkit for which there are specific grooves in the trunk.

Everything else I have listed is a bonus if previous owner(s) passed it on.

I could be wrong but I saw some or all of these items available when I was researching before buying mine.

As part of the tool kit (the two triangular fabric tool bags in the frunk) it should have centrelock tool, compressor, tyre sealant, towing eye, 2 x screwdrivers, cylindrical tool to put car in neutral, white gloves, fuse grabber, spanner and a strange metal thing I’ve attached a picture of. If buying from a main dealer you should expect these - mine missed the compressor and the dealer sent this to me when I noticed it was missing. If no centrelocks I don’t think the hex adapter for a torque wrench was standard but these are a tenner on Amazon. I didn’t think they came with a car cover and charger, especially as the charging dongle needs to be installed to the battery manually. It should also have the phone adaptor for the Car play USB. 2 proper keys and IIRC a plastic key only too. 2 x tracker cards.
