I'm Looking to buy LP640 2008/2009

In my experience, asking prices are more directly related to 'added value' options/colors then year or mileage (other then the at the extremes, naturally). For example, 6 speeds command a premium, as do well optioned interiors. These factors can flux price by as much as 30k.

Modern Lambos can theoretically be reliable, provided maintenance is up to date and the car is well cared for. PPI's are essential as always.

I will say V12 Lambo parts prices tend to surprise me, even relative to Ferrari prices!

 

There are very few 09's as this was the last year for the Lp640. So you will pay more for an 09. Color plays the most important factor in Lambo sales figures...so you need to decide what color you WANT and focus on that...unless you are more interested in just finding the "deal". If it's the deal you're chasing, then pick an off color like Red, While looking ok on the car, has a much lower retail sales value than say Pearl Orange.

Haven't seen any manual six speed lp's for 09, especially a roadster. Not to say that there isn't one or two, just haven't seen one. Most all will have Q-citera stictching and Hermera Wheels...lesser optioned cars will have Hercules wheels on them. Carbon Fiber interior package and CCB's will drive the price point up as will any of the three stage paint colors, pearl orange, balloon white, pearl yellow or verde ithica. Highest price point has been blue monterey and there are only a handful of those out there.

Price point is what you're willing to pay for what you want. Best to determine that and then go shopping. As far as reliable, in my experience, Lambos are much more reliable than Ferrari's and owners tend to be less uptight.

Good luck with your search.

 

PS. Stay away from example #4. Do your research on that dealer. Plus the car has aftermarket wheels and they look too big as it is, so expect either a front diff issue, transmission issue, or E-gear issue in short order, which may also explain the price.

 

There are a few 2010 SV's with manual gear boxes. I have seen many 2008's and a few 2009's with a manual gear box. I have a 2007 manual LP640 - awesome car!

 

There were ONLY 3 2010 LP670-4SV cars produced with a 6 speed gear box for the USA. I just happen to own two of them....one I just recently listed for sale.

Murci is a very reliable car and requires little maintenance; fluids, clutch every 40k miles, valve adjust every 30k, rear tires every 10-15k. There are a few minor things that seem to go wrong, but nothing common comes to mind on the LP. It seems the most finicky area of the cars is the egear components, so if you can hunt down a manual, there is even less to break.

Since you're in Chicago, I HIGHLY suggest a coupe over a roadster. Your days will be limited with a roadster compared to a coupe and if you take the car into the city, a coupe has much more security.

Like others said, color and options play into asking price. I spent a $30k premium for a manual/ccb/carbon interior/engine glass/color over an egear car without those options and a standard color (same year and similar miles).
