I'm starting to see Gallardos go for $100k or less now. Do you think this will be a continuing trend? Also are there any negatives to an '04 egear?

 

I am all ears too?

 

do a search guys. this question seems to come up every week. search 2004 Gallardo or 04 Gallardo

 

you can find 04s with 10 k on them or so for about 85 k . i almost bought a 05 orange G , with the glass bonett on it with 7 k on it for 95k. but couldnt part with my porsche... so you just have to know where to look .

 

You can get a clean low mileage 04 in the low 100 to high 90's. I've seen even higher mileage 04's around 25k miles for around $85k. But as for depreciation, they are going to start slowing down, I don't think you'll be able to find a 04 Gallardo in 2 years in the 60's unless it has 60k miles.

As for an 04, its a good car as long as it has the updated clutch. 05 has the front end lift if that is necessary. And in 06 the car is a world's better! More HP, louder exhaust, navigation and rear view camera is an option, shorter gearing etc..

Also I don't regret one bit coming from a 750hp 996 TT to a Gallardo. Driving the Gallardo is just a different "good" feeling.

 

Blkm3 do you miss your porsche ?? i have contemplated to going to a G several times , and i just cant do it cuase i think i wont be happy in the longrun down grading in that much hp 800hp to 500...

 

I've had a 750hp TT for a year and even though it was a great car, I don't look back on it at all. The Gallardo has a totally different feeling, the sound of the intake and exhaust is just amazing, no matter what I did to the Porsche, it never had a good sound. The Gallardo gives me the shivers just when I start it up!!

If its not fast enough, Jason Heffner can always hook you up!

But as I said I don't regret one bit, and I am a horsepower junkie. If you TT the G, it will be faster then any Porsche out there.

And later production numbers..the early production ones seem to have more problems and id rather buy one with more miles than less..all the problems would have been worked out under warranty and fixed.....and you won't have to pay for them when they do occur. Other than a crankshaft seal leaking and a leaking ac hose ive had no problems with mine and ive got close to 20k.....

 

I agree! More miles the better on these cars. I've seen some 04s that have less then 1k miles..

 

I hate these posts. It's like asking where the stock market is going and should they buy now or wait. If you can get one. GET ONE. You WILL never EVER hear anyone say they have regretted buying a Lambo.

 

It truly is an amazing car, just looking at it makes me smile!

 

Me too. And I have never regretted swapping my Porsche either...although having both would be nice, but I havent figured out how to sell that to my wife yet :-)

 

Can someone post what the regular scheduled maintenance costs are? How much are oil changes from the dealership? 10k, 30k, 60k service costs?

So what year is your Gallardo?

 

06 e-gear is better. Just wait... by December the 06's will be in the 90s
