I have a cayman S and got it from a member at caymanclub...very pleased with the transaction. But exotics are a different story and I am not sure where to start. This forum has great classifieds (I have been a member for some time but lost the login info), but little selection for lambos. Lambopower doesnt seem to have much either.

So what is a good place to start to look for a deal? With the prices of an '04 Garalldo, its too hard to resist. Only thing is I really want an orange so that may make life harder.

There are dealers on here, as well as other forums, it is not that hard to find a dealer. Keep in mind these cars may be good deals to purchase, but like all high end cars, parts and service can be very costly.

Thanks...yeah, I am aware it will be a costly undertaking either way and am prepared for that. Is a dealer the best way though to get a deal? That is a high priority for me.

I am hoping to find an '04 in the 90's...doable?

I'm not sure what you mean by a deal, if you just mean a cheap price, than try ebay. If you do to a dealer, and you are lucky there is one in Dallas, than you are more likely to pay more, though from my experience, you will end up with a nicer car.

Yeah, the objective is to get a great car, but to pay the best price for it. When you guys say dealer, do you mean the lambo dealership or just an exotic car dealer? Any recommendations for delears in the Dallas area? In general, I have not been too impressed with selection in Dallas...CA and FL seem to have the best selection. I will in FL tomorrow over the holidays (Tampa). Any suggestions to take advantage of that?

Have you checked out www.ecarlink.com? From what I've heard ( and personal experience) the people there seem to be quite nice, and the cars are kept in a relatively good shape, or at least from appearance they are.

When I was looking for 911's I checked them out. Seemed very professional with good cars. I may check them out again, but they seemed on the high side before.

Ah, gotcha. High side in price, I'm assuming?

I was there with another person looking at M5s...their prices aren't too shabby for the level of quality the cars over there. The model in particular we were looking at was priced a bit below the stated kbb estimate for the specs, which was definitely good.


Have you heard of www.straightlineautomotivegroup.com? I haven't been there/received feedback from people I know so I can't say the same thing about them, but from their website it looks pretty decent, too.

straightline is good, just make sure that you find out whether its a buy back or not. they carry both types of cars. if the price is crazy low, its probably a buy-back... just ask.

you can also see what ExpoMotorcars in Houston has ... they are good too.
