What's the cheapest I can get a RHD car? Don't mind high mileage.
I think the current winner is 107k from verdi's.
That's still not much off. The basic problem as I see it is that the car is £20k overpriced and poorly equiped. I've got the full price list and can't believe what is'nt standard. £90k and I'm keen....

yes - this is personally where I see Audis influence most strongly.....i also couldnt' quite believe what you had to pay to get in a 110K car!

It's as if you guys think £2500 for electric seats is over the top?
bloody right - though it isn't at the top of my 'you must be f**king joking' list!

Agree with most of what you said, but once you get in it and give it some stick - you'd pay whatever they asked for it.
well....you can get most of it included when you bought earlier lambos...though looking at the list now Im fairly sure most of this stuff has NEVER been offered in a lamborghini before
what is the "Wella Salon' extra anyway? 
Things like heated mirrors (£280), metallic paint (£1150), alarm (£525), computer (£380) and heated seats (£250) should all be standard. I know that this is less than £3k on a £117k list car but why not include them?
More importantly it makes looking around for a second hand car harder. For example, I would use it in the winter and would want heated mirrors and seats.

I think £106k is WAY too much for a used car. With some bartering and a bit of patience you could buy a brand new mid-spec car for about £110k.
On that basis why one earth would anyone pay £107k for a year old example - especially as, in my opinion, prices will plummet over the next nine months.
There are loads more cars than buyers at the moment, and the price is being artificially maintained by greedy dealers and speculators still trying to make a return on the early cars.
In the real world a one year old Gallardo is worth circa £85k - or in othe words a £12-15k premium over a left hooker.
Supply and demand will ultimatley prevail - we just need to wait for the first dealers to cough.
Of course the counterpoint to my argument is that there IS latent demand, and that there are numerous buyers (like me and I suspect a few others), who will jump in when prices reach what we feel are "sensible" levels - (i.e £85-90k) at this stage of course the price will either firm-up or start climbing again subject to the numer of punters out there.

For £90k how about this mentioned on another thread. Unique, 725bhp and 1150 lb ft to play with in a stylish package. Just tried the link, goes to the Home Page - click Cars For Sale, then Full Stock List option, then it's the third car IIRC £89,995 or thereabouts.
