did you expect any different?

I was told 2 years on a 430 and 3 to 4 on a spyder.

Just pay the premium and get one through an agent if your in a hurry. I was quoted 18 months on the Gallardo initially, I opted to by through an agent and got the car in a little under 8 weeks.

Paying a premium would really grip my shit, I'd rather wait and play with something else for a while.

At the end of the day paying a premium to jump a queue is no different to paying a premium for having a new car. Essentially they are the same thing, supply and demand.

If you really want one now then pay the premium, if your in no hurry wait a couple of years and get some garage queens 3,000 mile example for 30% off retail price.

How do you know it's oct 2005 the dealers don't get any allocation until Dec/Jan or do they ?

[Sarbs]

I got email that the car would be here in oct 2005. But i thought dealers got their allocations november time, so I dont know!
