So what price do people bet they will drop to?

The right priced cars will sell - to add the centre lock conversion is around £12k iirc.

Most SVs are over priced imo - I sold my roadster last September being one of the last produced with a list of over 400k and it went for less than most of the roadsters advertised currently.
I still managed to get more than £50k over what that tt Hartley offered me via SOR with my dealer but you have to be realistic with your expectations, from my experience most people selling SVs are not.

This SVJ has standard wheels, if you want the SV wheels you would need to do the conversion which would cost at least £5000 or maybe more depending on where you get the parts.

In my opinion the SV will continue to drop once used SVJ's start coming up for sale. I was looking at listings across Europe and there's already 25 SVJ's for sale including 4 for sale at Hollmann's and this doesn't include SVJs that might be at dealers but not advertised. Lamborghini really milked the Aventador and personally you would be mad to purchase a SVJ at list because they'll suffer the same depreciation maybe even worst than the SV.

Why worse than the SV? Numbers?

The SVJ makes the SV obsolete.

The SVJ is the ultimate Aventador so will hold its value better IMO.

Yes, numbers and the SVJ is rarer and it's done nothing when it comes to prices.

Lamborghini needs to take a page from Porsche and Ferrari when it comes to producing limited cars. The SVJ should have been around a 1000 coupes and roadsters but by the time production ends for the Aventador the SVJ might top out around 2000 cars total assuming they produce some special editions which they probably will. Add that with all the other Aventadors models and that's a lot of cars. Unfortunately there's no modern Lambo that will stay or go up in value any time soon. We'll have to wait until the V12 and V10 is replaced with smaller engines or when they go full electric and who knows when that will happen.

Sorry, but there are a number of inaccuracies or possibly typos in the above. The SV is rarer than the SVJ. SV production has obviously ended and there were 600 units built in total. Total production for the SVJ is planned to be 900 cars not 2,000.

SVs I suspect will probably bottom out in price around the high 200's, so not a million miles away from current levels. SVJ's obviously have further to fall given greater numbers and plenty of cars now rolling off the lines. Personally, one of the things I like about Lamborghini as a brand is that they haven't copied Ferrari and Porsche by turning buying their flagship cars into a circus where you need to suck off your dealer and buy cars you don't want in order to get a shot at buying the one you do. You buy their cars, drive them, they drop in price and you eventually flog it for less than you paid. That's how it works. This idea that they should engineer production numbers so a select few get to make some money is just wrong in my view. Far better that more people get to enjoy them.

Agreed, although I'm confident it is 900 coupes and 800 or something roadster SVJs being built so the total is around 1700 or something.

Never you mind

Thought it was 900 coupes and 900 roadsters plus 64 special edition ones?

Yes, something like that. I stopped looking the day I withdrew my deposit. I just could not part with £400k+ knowing 900 were being built and then I found out that number was just coupes and the roasters had another production number.

So a great success.

All the limited edition stuff is garbage - like limited edition trainers, t-shirts and handbags.

Yes exactly, this limited edition thing is just out there to lure the punters into buying the cooking models..

For instance I understand that during the production lifetime of the 991.2 GT3, it was the most numerous model of 991 produced!

So much for limited numbers, lol.
