Thread: 430 or Gallardo??

From my past experience I have had clutches replaced on both cars with the same mileage before. But I have also seen some of my customers run a Gallardo up to 10k miles without having any issues or problems(servicing car is key). Most Problems sometimes arise form the driver either not knowing how to drive the car or burning the clutch up a hill without noticing what they have done. I have also seen both cars in the shop for warranty issues. But as far as the actual car itself goes. I think the Gallardo handles better and I enjoy driving it more. The 430 however is a fun car to but lacks the power that the Gallardo gives you. My take is go to a dealership and test drive both down the street and maybe get on the freeway. See which car feels better and is more comfortable to you. Remember at the end of the day you are the one thats going to be driving it, not the sales guy. Both cars are going to have $$$ expensive maintenance when the time comes. Hopefully you get a monday car and not a friday car. Also call the lambo. or Ferrari dealer on the car you wish to buy and ask them what the car has been in the shop for. If the car has been to the shop multiple times for a lot of stuff then you know thats a problem car. check out my website Used car and truck superstore Jason 714-883-1171 Also I am getting a Superleggera in a couple of weeks. I can also get you a 430 if you want one of those. If you are local come down to my store and drive both cars. Let me know

I sold my 05 F430 for a 08 G Spyder. No offence but it seems there are a bunch of peeps that seem to have read a bad article on the cars and don't know too much about them either... I have a friend with a 05 G, replaced his first clutch at 70 000KM... Another running around thats at 55K and still going... Asking this question on a forum such as this one won't let you hear anything useful unless they tell you to drive both and decide for yourself. Both cars are amazing machines that will put a smile on your face every time you drive them, you have to chose which one matches your style and preference. I will tell you this much tho, this one doesn't have a fire extinguisher and im not scared of it going up in flames

resale for gallardos are straight down the drain due to Vik Keuylian that guy really messed up the lambo market and you can get murcis at wholesale for a little less than 200k and then lp's at around 250ish the superleggera brand new was around 260 i paid 230 for it a couple months later after what vik had done i tried selling it and the highest i got offered from any dealer was 135 the lambo car market is really messed up and itll still keep on losing money unless you go for something like the SV and the new 560 will hold its value far longer than the older G's and now the older LP 640's and the older Murcielago and having both owned the Superleggera and as well as the Scuderia, i loved the scuderia i put thousands of miles in a couple of days. The Superleggera i had many issues with such as the brakes but a simple blead helped it DRASTICALLY but overall the 430 was more refined and still just as hairy because in all the mid mounted V8 ferraris they are all really twitchy in the rear the Superleggera is just as fun though but i wouldnt buy an older model lamborghini right now because of the economy just my $0.02

Now that you have opinions from both sides, you are probably more confused then ever! A lot of these opinions are good, but they are still opinions.

My advice is to go with the car that you like the most, because at the end of the day, it's for you.

Just do it!
