I am looking at a two cars and am wondering what you guys think about them as far as the value goes.
Car 1: 2005 Special Order Red paint 4 owners with E-Gear 20K miles and new clutch and full services at 18K miles. Clear engine cover, backup camera, front lift. Independant dealer specializing in Lamborghini.

Car 2: 2006 Arancia Borealis 1 owner car with 9500 miles and a 6 MT. Clear engine cover, backup camera, front lift and at a lamborghini dealer with 10K/annual service.

Its about $13,000 more to go with the one year newer car, is this a normal price difference? Would the price difference be warranted between the two cars based on options, miles and years.

The 6-speed is more desirable/rarer, orange, newer, and the mileage is half so this accounts for most of the difference, I think. The 13k difference is about 15% of the current value(s) so I would definitely get the 6!

What a choice to have to make, heh??

I ended up going with the 05. Dealer dropped the price to 95K and it was a fully loaded 05 and I have wanted an E-Gear car since 2006 when I was 22 and drove my first Lambo. My other two sports cars are manuals and while I too thought the 06 might be a better value, I plan on getting an LP/Superleggera down the road so the one to two years between now and then i would rather have the 15K for safety net on repairs/upgrades and I ended up passing the info to a casual forum acquaintance who was looking for a 2006 in Arancia with a manual in the 120 range and so it made his day to find one 10K below his price.

I am loving the car so far, I picked it up Saturday the 26th from Cats Exotics, did the RSC TCU Tune already, plus installed BMC filters, its currently getting a full paint correction and Modesta BC05 paint protectant stuff installed and then my wife informed me that my RSC Carbon Fiber Superleggera wing arrived at my house today. I have a track day setup on the 25th depending on weather, can't wait!
