It's a pretty good punt at that price.

Might well fetch more on the day though.

Competitively priced at £35k ....... But up for auction ..... How's that work then !!!!

Ad is irritating. Really don't need the Gallardo's life story before you can find any details about the actual car!

This striking example, presented in black with a black leather interior, has recently undergone a period of re-commissioning by Ferrari and Lamborghini specialist, Karl Verdi, in London. This includes a reconditioned starter motor, a full service and a new MoT test certificate

Best to double, triple and quadruple check that the said work has actually been carried out because Verdi is not known for being the most honest dealer around.

Would be a great car for someone to lightly restore in their garage. Have to say I'd be tempted to have a punt at 35k, though that is an auction so may go for more.

Advertise it at very low price to drum up interest for the auction. Seems to be working.

Its not a classic car, so no need to recommsion

Why use a reconditioned part when new ones are readily available...

New battery by London, that's provenance for you lol

Firstly, I wouldn't trust Verdi to make me a coffee let alone do anything to a car. Secondly, in which planet does recommissioning mean "a rerubed starter motor and a service"?!?!?

Probably the badge on the front and back gave it away

This is what auctions are for - sold as seen.

Think it's called 'padding'.
Necessary when the seller doesn't know much about the actual car in question.

Wow 10 Owners....!

If it looks cheap there is a reason for it, still there is always a buyer for the cheapest car on the market.

[markiii]

ifit s been near Verdi the potential for dodgyness is high

It was only a few years ago that you'd be able to get an early, decent, clean Gallardo for £60k.

The values seem to have held (and even gone up a little here), I'm looking at the moment for one and although one or two imports pop up at $140k, they range up to $180+ for a 2006.. 6 years ago 2004-2006's would pop up at $145 constantly..
