    Question LP-550 Balboni Edition? Help...

    Anyone here have one that can share their thoughts? And for any of you Lambo experts out there..... considering this is a rare RWD limited to just 250 units, why are they not doing so well? Both new and used ones can be had for a lot less than I would expect. A new 2010 with e-gear option can be had for about 180k. Is that a steal, or will these things just keep tanking?
    EARNED, AND NOT GIVEN....

    I can't answer all your questions but I do know someone that has had a Gallardo and then sold it for the Balboni edition. He is absolutely in love with the Balboni and swears by it. They seem to be great cars and a little more fun then the average Gallardo. Hope that helps!

    Yes, I love my 2010 LP550-2 Balboni.

    True...there are only 250 in the world and they say only 90 in the US.
    All Lambos depreciate...nature of the beast.

    But LOVE THE CAR - I have 9000 miles and in Feb 2012, it will be 2 years old!

    RWD - a little more fun to drive compared to the AWD, I think...

    And hopefully...it will appreciate in the future...

    LP-550 is now Lamborghini's newest gallardo (besides the Stradale). The Balboni was a limited edition OF the 550. So expect the LP-550 to be the cheapest new Gallardo possible, however I feel the Balboni WILL be worth much more than the LP-550's and LP-560's now and down the road. ESPECIALLY in manual trans, that'd be a blast on the track.

    The Balboni wont be worth anymore than the others. Lambo released the Balboni and then killed it with the 550, which is basicly the same car. Some even swear the 550 is better due to some revised engine and suspension tweaks. If there was no 550, the Balboni would of done well.
