Hum, sounds like leaving myself open for a nightmare.

I will go GTS, its just the prospect of being Maseratiless for a year, or maybe even 2, gets my eyes wandering.

I have £40k to put in plus finance.

So being you could get an 18 month old GTS MC-Shift for £70k, finance for £30k over 3 years is nearly £1k a month.

What would a 5 year old GTS be worth, £45k?

The car needs to be £60k really, so a year away yet.

the early gallardos 04-06 were so problematic that if you dont buy through lambo dealer you need thusands if anything goes wrong, those that did buy through dealer, things like gearboxes are not under warranty and they wear very easily, costing 7k to put right, if its e-gear its min 10k....that friend of mine had trouble with his and he did some research and found out that they were lambos version of the 3200, now they bought out the LP, thats like the GS, its now sorted....

Dem is right some had very bad problems....2006 on is a very sorted car but they cost a fortune so I am told...Make the Maserati runnign costs seem very reasonable.

That's it fellas, subject to a clean bill of health, it's gone to DickyGrace :)

End of an era, new one to start.

And I'll be in a Spyder next year, pretty sure ;)

And two enquiries for the DB7 from Pistonheads 3hrs after the advert got put up! It is the first one you see and is cheaper and nicer than all the other cars so to be expected really...

Forums are a marvellous place. If they both go in a week, I can have the DB9 before the end of the month. Deep joy :)

you think a Gallardo is expensive, have a look at the costs on a Murcielago. 5K for a clutch.

I still like the Gallardo alot...Don't think it looks old and still looks much better than a 430...

Mate of mine has a Murci LP640, fully loaded. He tried to sell it after less than a year as he wasn't really using it, had only done about 3k miles. He paid just over £250k & put it up at £185k and had absolutely no interest! With that sort of depreciation I doubt many owners care about running costs in comparison.

What colour is it Maf and when did he try and sell it? Look at the orange 640 broughtons have for sale, done 14k and they want 187k for it, think it is an 08 car.

Woohoo, good to see one of our own will be enjoying an FD-enhanced 4200. I used to always enjoy a good gawp at that car after a couple of sherbets in The Somerset or The Mall when was I was living up that neck of the woods.
