LP560-2 Anniversary as a first purchase?
Discussion
Evening All,
Having been planning a treat for my 40th birthday this year, I had always set my heart on a Gen2 Performante Convertible, and the perfect spec has come up (Verde Ithaca) however sadly my budget just simply doesn't stretch that far.
I've kept dreaming a bit and noticed this 560-2 Anniversary for sale through the London Lamborghini dealer:
https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/10964601
I haven't enquired yet as need to work out fully whether I can afford the running costs, but I'd assume all would check out as to its history and condition... but it seems cheap? I love the alcantara, and the 2 wheel drive wouldn't detract for me, but what's the general consensus on this particular special edition? Was it a sought after one, or just another spec sheet to keep sales going? The carbon insert around the gear selection buttons looks a little off compared to others i've seen (where the weave matches the large outer centre console), or is it just my imagination?
I'm not even certain I could live with the hardtop but as this just sneaks into my total price bracket I think it's worth a look. I now have a potential slot for a Porsche 718 Spyder towards the end of the year, which in theory should be ok holding it's value for a couple of years, and no maintenance whereas i'm a little concerned the Gallardo lets some risk of big bills in?
All/any thoughts and advice gladly welcomed!
Cheers

Well I spoke to the London dealer and yep the white one is definitely sold. What’s difficult to work out is the pricing difference between that one at £90k, and the other 560-2 anniversary for sale on PH for £129k.
Coming from an official dealer too, what would lead it to be underpriced? Or could it have been on SOR and the owner just wanted rid?!
Slightly gutted I missed it as 90 is my max budget and I’m not keen on standard interiors.
Will be interesting to see how values change over the course of this year so may be it’s a blessing in disguise.
