Can you post the spec, age, mileage?

PS I am a bit confused on prices at the mo. There is an 03 Manual Spider on Autotrader for £78,500 which is way off book. What's happening to these things?


Private-vs-trade, this being private. Guy's probably been offered 75k trade and is trying to get a few more quid

Hey, the "guy" in question had never proffered his 360 as a sale.

Not what I came here for but it sounded like he might be interested so I replied.

Keep the 360, none of those mentioned will feel as lively as what you have (and they'll all lose you a ton of cash in the process)

Having been and driven both a 575M and a Gallardo yesterday I think I now know where I'm going.
The 575M is and awesome car, happy to pootle along at 40mph in 6th then go like stink and with so much usable grunt, but I can't help thinking it's looking a little dated inside and I don't thing I'm old enough for one just yet.

One to save for when I'm in my 40s.

But the lary yellow Gallardo, yes we like that a lot!
It didn't feel that much quicler than my 360 and I was suprised the engine didn't have more torque for such a big motor, but what a gallactic thing up close.

And in the yellow, so "in your face" I love it.

A very pleasant afternoon and the usual exemplary service I've come to expect from Graypaul.

hi bertie

Really shouldn't be on the pc today... but:

be careful of depreciation on gallardo. (i.e. buy right price and right spec and ensure remaining warranty).

make sure the graypaul car is a uk car, the imports only had 2 year warranty, which is possibly out.

make sure it has had at least revision c clutch.

check clutch wear before you buy, this could cost you near £5K so if its near death get them to replace it or factor into price.

otherwise its a nice little car with tubi. its not my ideal but its better to me than the alternatives on the market, i'm so bored now of waiting i'll probably get one at the end of the month.

If you're prepared to take a 2004 high miler that's still in warranty, there's one on Autotrader for £79K IIRC, which would probably go for mid-£70s ?

If it's a yellow Gallardo at Graypaul you're interested in, might be worth emailing me. Not trying to sell you an alternative car by the way!

At a dealer, £129k, but apparently one went at auction for £100k.

If it's a manual in a nasty colour I could believe it.

Considering the fall in prices of 996TT's and with the 456GT/550 as a Ferrari benchmark - I wonder if a used 612 would be a better medium term proposition than the 997TT I have on order for later in the year???
