Some advice on a gallardo spyder purchase

[A1]

Hi Guys
Need your help here. Im in the process of buying a g spyder privately.

Car is a 2007 56 plate, 11,000miles, black on black

Is it true pre 2008 cars only have 2 year warranty? hes offering with the car a 12 month warranty including clutch which was replaced in 2007. Its due a 15k service in july, how much is that?

Spec wise its got SAT NAV, TV, XENON HEADLIGHTS, 19" LAMBORGHINI ALLOYS, ELECTRIC FOLDING MIRRORS, CLIMATE CONTROL, CD MULTI CHANGER.

Trying to do a deal on 75k, what do you guys think? also thinking of getting it inspected, can you recommend best possible place to do this?

Sorry for the basic questions but first supercar purchase....................

Any advice and tips would greatfully appreciated
Thanks

£75K seems good to me. Is it e-gear?
Me only slight reservation would be the amount of black!

[A1]

Yep an egear.

Mate of mines got a black with a black interior and looks really god, to me anyway

i'd be asking why such a late car had its clutch replaced in its first year

[will_]

How is a private seller offering a warranty? And if it's from a warranty company, how does it cover the clutch (which is wear and tear)? Sounds a bit odd?

Have asked him for details of the the warranty. Waiting for a reply

Definitly get it inspected. Just in case, It seems quite cheap even in these times. Hope its a good one though, great car

[A1]

We are still nagotiating at the moment but thats my target price, being a private seller i think he wants to get rid.

Is it best to get it inspected by lambo? do they offer such a service and how much?

[jbk]

Lambo warranty should be 3 yrs, no matter what age. £75k would be a pretty good price i think.

Odd about the clutch? I've pretty much decided on a Spyder as my next purchase, is there a buyers guide for the Gallardo anywhere?

... with all due respect chum, I think you're already reading it!!

Good luck with your search - please see a similar post today where I've been told you can't get a glass engine lid on a Spyder...

Thanks guys
Still waiting for answers on some of the questions......................

Took mine to lamborghini high wycombe as its my nearest service centre and they gave it a once over for me inc checking the clutch wear and everything was fine (07 spider)
Always best to get a health check before purchasing as im sure everyone on here will agree.
Its my 1st lamborghini but not my first supercar.

Thanks, I've already read that and it made me smile - that's the problem with the internet, someone always knows better - rightly or wrongly!
