Hi...

I've been looking for a manual Gallardo, wasn't initially interested in a Spyder, however came across this one:

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

I've bought from Ian Cameron previously, he's more Porsche oriented but starting to get a few different marques through his doors.

Need advice on how this one looks spec-wise for the price, good and bad points etc. Also if the price is about right.

Also, the inevitable question, setting aside Brexit Armageddon.... where are these in the depreciation curve? This one has decently low mileage, if I kept for say two years where would a trade bid be (ish)? Low to mid 80's?

Don't mind the running costs, have had F430 & 458 so I am used to servicing costs etc, but have no gauge on the values down the line.

Cheers thumbup

Thanks, £10k retail drop plus dealer margin?

Just looked at the TF car, the interior does look special! They take great photos don't they!

After the 458 I need a manual for what is effectively a 4th car, I just know I'll get bored with an auto / semi 'box.

Definitely not an investment...I don't think any car can be bought with this in mind with what's looming in the next year or so. Having said that, I do think carefully about purchases and as rarity breeds value am looking for something that has a good chance of not dropping significantly over my ownership...

I'm more interested in spec on this car really, is there anything significant missing?

Thanks for the replies.

We're there any significant engine / spec changes from 2007 to 2008 cats I should be aware of?
