A bit much for a new Gallardo?

Hi guys,

Went passed a local dealer today with a new Gallardo in the window. HAD to pop in to take a look, but when I asked how much, was told Pounds165k!

Seemed a lot to me, I thought new Gallardos were in the 140 area. Is this all mark-up or are the options really taking the value of the car up that high?

That's ridiculous. The highest price I found on a new Spyder on ClassicDriver was Pounds145.

A bit of 'rough' speccing on 'drivethedeal.com' gives a list price around Pounds148k

So a Pounds17k markup for jumping the new car waiting list (the car had 40miles on the clock). Wow, heavy premium

You can get a new Gallardo Spyder here for a mere GBP 125,000 - however, they are LHD - like they should be : ) RHD exotics are very uncomfortable if you are used to LHD.

Re: A bit much for a new Gallardo?

UK list prices are as follows:-

Base price for Spyder Pounds140,713
Three layer metallic paint Pounds2,262
Leather interior Pounds1,199
E-gear Pounds6,250
Sat Nav Pounds1,615
Lifting system Pounds2,035
Yellow callipers Pounds717
Coloured wheel centres Pounds165
Callisto silver wheels Pounds2,016

Total list = Pounds156,972

So the premium being charged is not as high as you think but still a significant sum. It has to be said though that there is a waiting list for these cars and it is easy to spec them in the Pounds160 - 170k price range if you add things like out of range paint colour, carbon brakes, interior carbon trim packages etc. It's a fabulous car though and I'm enjoying mine immensely

It's 221k pounds for a G-spider here with those same options.

Albeit expensive in South Africa, a MY08 Gallardo Spyder can easily cost 400-430,000 GBP in Denmark. Don't even start Mike - the Danes will (sadly) beat you everytime...
