Value on high mile Gallardo

Seems like the 20k '04s sell for around $100k. Orange is a plus color (the best on a G for me), but still has to be a big hit for 80k miles.

I'm thinking $85k....

 

More like 50k

 

I would venture a guess of around $60-72k.

Very clean PPI i say $70,000

another vote in the 50 range.

 

there are no 50k gallardos out there that are clean title.

at 80k miles, the car needs to be looked at carefully. timing chain tensioner needs to be inspected and probably changed before the chain snaps and destroys the engine.

otherwise, all the other ppi things apply.

price would be about 65-75k, depending on condition. i personally wouldn't buy it since you can get a much lower mileage one for 20-25k more. buying an exotic on the cheap will only cost you more if not just as much in the long run.

 

I also don't see any others for sale with those miles.

Which is precisely why it's worth more on the side of 50 than even 65. Very few cars I'd fork out that kind of money for with 2 years of enjoyment left before 100k miles....none of them include a used modern non-v12 Lambo.....and I'm a Lambo guy!

My vote is 55-60, tops. CARS WEAR OUT, then cost more money. Sorry, but a little captain obvious was necessary there.

 

My ex '04 Gallardo with clear engine bonnet(rare for '04) in mint condition needing nothing with 15k miles just sold from a dealership and the asking was only $92k or best offer.

I would pay $50k tops if the car is mechanically in very good shape after a PPI.

 

doltmo over on LP has near 80K on his 06 gallardo and says it runs stronger then ever. Take it for what its worth. If maintenace is up to date and things like timing are all taken care of i dont see this as a terrible car. But i vote in the 70G range.....

 

have you physically seen the car? do you know of the repair history?

 

Yeah true, but "runs" has nothing to do with wear and tear that if not recently done (brakes, suspension parts that cost an arm and a leg, electrical bugs that will start to appear) WILL need to be done soon. Come on guys, it's still an Audi product, and those in the know tend to run away from Audis with 80k on them because they KNOW that it's going to require a lot, and soon. These may be ultra reliable supercars, but they're still not Hondas!

 

I agree with everything you say, i was more just stating that the gallardo is still a very usable car at 80K unlike many of the earlier lambos. Not that it wont cost an arm and a leg. As an owner of multiple audis through the years, the 80K statement is spot on! You can watch the thousands fly out your pocket almost monthly when its gets over that point. Just one thing after the other needing replaced.

 

+1

 

Oh, yeah, especially if it is an Allroad! Still love 'em though. Sold off my last 2 when the next repair was going to be more than the car was worth. So comfy, the C5 bodied A6 line was my favorite. I'd love an RS6 for a 3rd car (read: rarely driven).

 

I'm thinking of purchasing one early 2013 and 15-25k mile 04 G cars seem to be at the $90-95k range so paying $75-85k is way to much for 80k plus miles I wouldn't pay no more than $60-65k for that high milage...pay little extra and get one with 20-30k miles on the clock.

 

My 2 cents. totally agreed. at 80K miles the car for the new owner will be worth nothing at all over 100K miles. $50K tops if the car is great. that would be a very reasonable offer. As far as i know that is 50K you'll never see again and should depreciate it to a part ot car.
at 80K miles, you'll have to review everything if not now very soon.
not worth it for more. too many risks. I'll look at another car with low mileage for a bit more. I doubt there would be buyer at 60-70K for such a car.
Advice become hard when one has to actually fork the money. Someone show me then what the lower G over 50K miles are going for.

i doubt much any buyers of G with good money (over $70K) would go for a tired G

 

I don't see any reason a 80k gallardo would be a piece of ****.. like any car that has miles on it it will need maintenance.. but if well maintained why wouldn't the engine last 200k miles?

 

I don't think people calling it a piece of sh** just that if your buying for the bargain price it could be a money pit. Timing chain,suspension,clutch,electrical or e gear issues etc can get expensive so the sales price should reflect the high milage. If bought for $ 70-75k then drove around for a year or two and miles closing in on 100k I doubt you can sell for decent price. End up taking a big loss in depreciation and maintenance vs buying a lower/mid milage car.

 

right on! that summarizes it well. the financial justification over a trigger price just does not make sense

 

I believe this car sold for $65K

 

The maintenance alone, it's not worth it. German cars hit the wall around 80,000 miles. You'll be replacing parts you didn't know existed. I was talking to a mechanic a few weeks ago, the timing chain will need to be done at 100,000 miles, he said you might as well rebuild the engine at that point. There are so many other Gallardo's floating around with less than 30,000 miles with full service histories.

 

I understood a driven exotic, is usually a reliable car. If it is clean, you may get in cheap and get out cheap.

An entry level car, will usually find a buyer without much effort.




(Carfax) is not always reliable.

I have seen 'clean' Carfax exotics, that are fixed up fender-benders.

 

Thats very true, but would I buy a G car with that many miles probably not. Everything has a price so if its right then yea maybe. If jetfire is correct thats the range I was thinking at $60k tops if was clean all sevice records fairly new clutch etc. I knew someone who had a gallardo with I think 90k on the clock and still sold pretty quick, there will always be someone willing to buy for right price.

 

i guess there is something call the "attraction of perceived value"...
Someone is gonna find out at $65K.. Well sold I'll say but an $85K G with less miles would have been a better deal
