LP vs. Non LP

[edij]

Hi all,

I've been looking at Gallardo's for a while now... keen to get back in one after a couple of years of non Lambo ownership....

The good non-LP's that come up seem to go very quickly and still command ~75-85k for a good low mileage car. I've been thinking about stretching the budget slightly for a 2008 LP560-4, I've found one I like for 95 but I'm slightly unfamiliar with the LP market and what to look for on the later models, and if it's worth the extra?

I've been looking at two cars at either end of what's available within budget and I'm struggling to justify a £30k difference between a yellow £65k e-gear 2004 Gallardo (coupe, no sat nav or lift, 22k miles) and a white 2008 £95k mile LP560-4 (coupe, e-gear, 12k miles)

I'd love the LP - but it's a big gap in current value between those two cars - is the gap in quality worth the extra and is the earlier car a safer bet in depreciation?

Thanks all

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies and the information. The LP won and I picked it up on Friday, an LP560 coupe in Balloon White. Stunning car to drive... it might be because I've been out of a Gallardo for a couple of years but it does seem quicker than the last one.

Downside is that it's a little quieter as above, but in Sport mode it does come to life a little more (I'm hoping that doesn't eat up the clutch too much?).

Thanks again!

Couple of pictures!

It's been looked after and the car is generally in great condition, really pleased with it. The rear grill has some discoloration I'm hoping to get fixed though... Lambo recommended autoglym bumper/trim for this? I'm hoping I can just use that rather than a new grill!
