So i thinking of making the plunge, i have owned many super cars in the past and currently have a 458, but there is something about the Aventador that I have always loved, always wanted. I'm not one of these idiots that drives their car through central London, in fact i try to avoid central London as much as possible with my cars, i do a lot of driving trips and European road trips and love a NA super car with theater and presence....

so my obvious questions are, what are peoples views of the market right now, is it true the AV replacement is now delayed to 2024? How much, given i am looking to buy in the next 6 weeks or so should i demand off of the asking price of the cars....

i pretty much know everything else id be getting into with an AV - i had a Gallardo for 3.5 years so know about the clutch, and running costs etc etc, so its really peoples views on the market right now and how much discount to expect given people are not jumping into these cars right now.

Cheers.

i think the Aventador S roadsters with very low mileage are still incredibly expensive, you can get 2014-2015 AV roadster with under 5k miles for £195-210k i had a Gallardo for a few years and did 11k miles on it, the E-gear has its quirks and is by no means a twin clutch box, but i didn't hate it, its quite a theatrical experience, i thought.

I have to say, my Gallardo in the 3.5 years i owned it had zero issues. It really was bullet proof and i put 11,000 miles on it, took it around Spa and Nurburgring, various European road trips, didn't miss a beat. I wouldn't track an AV to be fair but would do a lot of European miles in it. i think if you know how to use the gearbox, then you wont have any issues. My 458 is the perfect car i have to say, does everything, but i just need to scratch the AV itch and get it out of my system.
