Been there, done that. Could've been the Tiptronic but it wasn't for me. At any rate I'm set with the Gallardo at least until the next gen. Cheers!

 

Interesting timing for this thread. I have been wanting a
Gallardo but have never seen one up close until yesterday.
Well, now I am hooked and have to have one. I plan on keeping the GT2 for my power fix and add the G for something different than I have ever had before. The ultra low stance and radical looks are incredibly alluring to me.
After much reading, I will only buy an '06 manual coupe.

 

I bet the 07 Gallardo is just as good.

Obviously you have an exquisite taste in fine automobiles. My other all weather rapid transport is a RS6+.

 

No doubt the 07 will as good or better....but I prefer to let
someone else take the depreciation hit! And yes, the RS
is the ultimate all weather car.

 

so wife says to me this morning - i want this car, just let me drive it first. i was floored but my heart started to race. so i immediately emailed the sales mgr with our decision and said we'd call on our way out there.

called just a minute ago and was told only one salesman was there so i asked to speak to him to give him a heads up. he thanks me for my interest then proceeds to tell me that he is the only one there and he has to deliver a car today so we should not come out today???? i was very polite and hinted very strongly that we would be purchasing today and explained our previous difficulty in getting everyone's schedule alligned. he followed with why don't you try us sometime during the week, preferably midday when there are plenty of people here. "i can't let her drive today because i don't know she will bring the car back."

these last two comments pissed me off to no end - strongly indicating to me that their customers make time for them, not the other way around......i'm sure it would be a nightmare with service

just venting

 

what dealer?

 

and after re-reading my post, realized i left some crucial points out. i have already met face-to-face with the SM as well as two salesmen and they know/knew i was VERY serious rather than just some random test-drive and leave guy. in fact last weekend we went out to the dealer a little after 3pm to see what we could do but they had already closed at 2pm.

and if someone form the dealer is reading this, i don't want an apology or *** kissing so please do not contact me....it would be a waste of your time and my time...that's not the point of this post

i could just use them to let Liz test drive then purchase from Roy but, even with my frustration, i have respect for their time. now i need to figure out a way for Liz to get some seat time???

 

Frank...I have a pretty good hookup at Lambo Houston

 

Ron - i appreciate the hookup and we may call you on it.

so thanks Ron..i'll contact you for that hookup when we know our schedule for Houston.

ps-just discovered the murci DOES come in an egear so that opens up alot of options BUT pretty much destroys my car budget

 

Frank

My very good friend runs Bergen County Lambo as well which is very close to me
If you can find a way to coordinate with Dallas for a test ride and Bergen has a car in stock you like I will transport it for you as I am transporting a car from Houston to my area next week or the week after at the latest.
Bergen has Verde Ithaca e gear 2004 Murcie for 215K, 12K miles, new clutch and many other parts and a full service
Let me know if I can help you in any way Bud!

 

i am not going to waste my or their time/deal with them. i realize it's only penalizing me but i'm a moral ***

 

I have worked with Lambo Dallas before and this doesn't surprise me. They work on THEIR schedule. No wonder they have the same Gallardos they had 12 months ago.

 

i agree. totally different cars. while the 06 G's might have better handing characteristics, the M is def. the better of the two. im still looking for a used Murcie

i never liked the G when it came out, when i test drove the 02 and when i test drove the SE. it gets the looks obviously but it never got me. i think its a little overrated to be honest.

 

So did you get it?

 

Get the car...you guys will definitely enjoy the experience!
