Man, I hate this board... Now I am looking for a Gallardo. I did a little math, and it's do-able, so now I'm doing some research.

Does anyone have a pic of a dark grey metallic G w/either blue or blood-red interior? Also, if you guys have some suggestions for other cool color combos, please chime in.

Finally, if any of you know which options are must-haves and which ones can/should be skipped, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

 

Hope you are getting a new one the 2006--> is a great sounding car and they made some nice improvements

 

Marc - I would get a new one. If I am going to spend that much money, I want it optioned the way I like.

That said, the one I saw locally (DC area) was $215K! There were a lot of options like rear view cameras, etc. that I think are of dubious value. Certain things (the Callisto wheels, glass engine cover, deviating stitching, etc.) I consider necessary.

What options are frivolous and which ones are the must-haves?

Math-wise, I need a decent chunk down, plus about $2.2K/mo. If anyone knows a good exotic leasing/finance company, feel free to chime in.

 

I have never seen that colour combo in my life. I would think black on red would be cool though. get a different colour tahn your porsche go for something wild

 

Pm Sent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated...

 

Do you need some gentle encouragement to pull the trigger on this old friend?
I’ll fly up to help you take delivery…

 

It's combo of home equity, a bit of insanity, and a crazy car payment... If I do it, I'll order it in early-mid 2007.

 

chris,
where do u live? u said DC locally. i live in the burbs of DC.
there is a lambo dealer here. yeah new is way up in the 200s.

Raja -

I live over by Dulles, and I've been to the local Ferrari/Maserati/Lambo dealer and talked to the Lambo guy. We talked about options, pricing, etc. That's kind of what got me thinking... It is on the outer fringe of what I can deal with financially. He highly recommended the e-gear transmission. Any input from owners on plus/minus of the e-gear? I had a DSG car before, so I like the concept, but I didn't like SMG in the M3.

 

hahha. i live 5 minutes from Dulles as well.
that is wierd. lol
