As Safrane rightly pointed out, parts prices are not for the faint hearted and will make Maserati/Ferrari part prices look rather cheap. You only need one thing to go wrong and it’s easily a 3-5K bill at a specialist, never mind main dealer.
Great noise though.

I'm sure the most eye watering of bills will be enough to unsettle most.

I looked at one last year - you might find headroom tight on the coupes, I'm only 5'10 but didn't have much extra. Lift is something you will miss if you don't get it with speed bumps. Echo comments on the pre-LP. Parts prices I thought similar to Maserati - in fact often cheaper than Audi (R8 shares a lot of parts!)!

What seems odd, lot of cars apparently sold or deposits taken but still online.

Dealer trick , AHH yes sir that car has sold , can I take your details....

At the bottom end of the used car market it's used to suck you in to buying something else on the site

Sorry sir that very competitivly priced one owner FSH car has just sold but we do have this POS for you to look at.

Speaking with a performance car garage in pershore today, they implied values of gallardos have peaked, driven by availability of the cars.

Seems taking time with this might be a wise option.

I'm not seeing this online mind. Weird sales tactic?

Yeah, the latter. Usual blah blah. I mean, it might be true as well, but isn't it always the way that the car you want to buy is rare and in high demand whereas the one you're selling, sir, we just don't see the demand.

Thing is they have a gallardo for sale, why would you imply it would become cheaper.. inviting an offer perhaps, but is odd

I assumed he meant that demand is crazy so don't expect to get one for the same price as a year ago.

If you’re sitting cash probably a good time as market looks like it’s turning, a fun place to be as a buyer

If it does turn, it's best I wait it out and see. I know this sounds horrible, but someone in need to sell might be helpful.

That said, not sure I'd like to buy direct off Joe public.
