Used 360 prices?

First post and we I'm already going off-topic, but I need to ask.

When do you take delivery of the '06? What colour is it, e-gear or manual, etc etc??

 

from what i've observed earlier models up to about '02 are moving for 240-260k (rough estimate) but later models are still over 300k while the 05 cars still seem to go for just under list price

can anyone add or correct?

 

You can get an SE? I didn't realise they were available already and so easily, considering only 6-7 are coming to Australia from what I've read.

Anyway I think the dark grey SE's look sensational, any idea how much extra you pay for an SE over a 'normal' Gallardo?

i love the new rims, they look mint! (sorry off topic)

 

If I had to pick between the two SE's I'd say the dark grey as it is a beautiful colour but I don't see the point of it on the SE because the two-tone effect is too subtle. Just my opinion. I haven't seen a silver SE yet to see what it looks like. I really like the white though. Give the interior something as well.

I would say wait for and 06 model and get the colour you want. If you can wait that long.
Do you want a subtle colour after having the yellow? Will you miss that 'out of this world' presence of a bright colour?

 

Actually due to the Commonwealth Games the motorshow starts a month earlier soo I guess you have to wait 1 mth less Feb 9-19th.

 

I read that the stuff on the SE will be standard on the 2006 range (bar the black roof). If so, why bother with an SE?
The changeover $$ must make the whole proposition questionable. As far as I can see, it's a mildly tweaked version of what you already own?

 

"sports exhaust......" Are you allowed to get that mhh?

 

That should make it easier to get out at 6am on a Sunday! I love the grey colour in the pic too.

 

Assuming the SE is $30k more and your car has 31k on board, the changeover would have to be north of $100k. I can't see an expired warranty being a $100k issue. Even in Lambo land, $100k is one big out of warranty bang!

 

It is true that the 06 will have the majority of the extras that the SE has but it would be nice to hold a car that is of limited addition. Especially here in Australia where we are probably only get 6-7 if that. Pity on the colours though.

Mhh- My personal preferences on colour.
1. I do love the white (preferable flat over the new pearl) as you saw on LP the SE allan is looking at is beautiful.
2. I would say the yellow is next. The pearl is beautiful but for the amount of driving you do you do risk having to respray the whole nose everytime as you can't touch it up.
3. The blue is a beautiful colour (such as BMWRacers)

After this it all depends on your needs. Black is very menacing but hides all the lines. The burgundy (which I think may not be an option on 06, not sure) makes the car very elegant. Silver in my opinion is another colour that just looks 'nice' nothing special. Now the orange is an interesting one. I like the flat orange but not the pearl. It looks great but I wouldn't have it, just my taste. The new dark blue that was on the roadster at the Sydney motor show does nothing for the car.

I think if the SE is just $30k more then an 05 it is a bargain. First up the glass bonnet is a nearly $25k extra from what I've heard. So it means the other options are next too nothing.

Another question with the silver SE is there a large contrast in the interior. This is one of the maker/breaker parts of the SE. Whilst the yellow exterior looks good the interior looks comical. The white contrast is beautiful. And on the dark gray one there is hardly any contrast at all. Does the silver have brighter silver parts over the dark gray? That might look funny I think.

PS. Guess if you want subtle you won't be putting the new kit from the Essen motorshow on it?

 

I can't see why you wouldn't get a totally different car and experience something different. From where I am sitting, it's blowing big $ to get the same car again. Plenty of stuff to chose from at that price point. Even more if you consider 2nd hand stuff.

 

a good second hand murcielago.

or a 430.
