Hi, I have been looking through the classifieds on a daily basis, sometimes up to 5 times a day looking for my perfect Gallardo. Ideally I am after an 04 or 05 car, doesn't matter if it’s manual or e-gear, preferably in black, orange or dark grey, FSH with less than 20k miles.

Thought I would put a post on here to see if anyone was interested in selling within the next few weeks or so. I know there are some in the classifieds but any dealers I have contacted so far don't seem too keen to deal. I find this surprising as I don't have any car to trade in and I would be buying the car outright. It could be because I’m located in Northern Ireland and it’s just not so easy for me to call in and see the cars. What I had wanted to do was narrow my choice down to 2 or 3, fly over and buy one.

If you can help with any suggestions or know any cars for sale that you have for sale or think I might be interested in, please PM me or post them here.

Many thanks

gallardo prices are rock solid, and dealers have no need to knock thousands off, as they sell quickly at asking price if spec etc is right...

lots of yellow ones on there at present, as good as orange imho, what of the one from amari?
also, don;t think i have seen a orange 04/05, might have been a 06 colour... also dark grey...
most of the classifieds for 04/05 are black or yellow, occasional red/silver/blue...

Thanks for the pointers. The Yellow one at Armari is nice but a good friend of mine has a yellow Gallardo and I don't want to drive one the same. I have seen 05 cars in orange but not sure about the grey, you are maybe right it could be 06 it came out.

If you want one then you got to pay the price. As said above pricing is firm on Gallardo's so when you find the right car don't expect a massive discount, as they call sell the car to someone else anyway.

northern ireland is practically local..... most of these cars are going to aus or far east!!! you haven;t time to line up 2-3 cars for viewing, the far east buyers buy over the phone without viewing!!! i have missed out on cars for delaying a decision a few hours......

so, if you see a car, go for it, buy it at price if the price is good, and enjoy...
btw, i haven;t seen an orange 05 car and i have been looking at the market for 5 months now...
