I could but after doing 211 miles in the 4200 in the last 12 months prior to The Ace not sure it was be one of the finest uses of another 20 odd k.

I've done even less in the SL!
Nora, I’ve done 500 in the GS all ready, the round trip to Autoshield is going to dint me another 350, still gives me 2k miles to enjoy on the insurance, as long as can find some good roads, not enjoying crashing over some York’s dales roads..l

Indeed! It isn't because I have tried not to use it just has been a busy fun (sarcasm) filled year that has disappeared in a scary blink. Don't see the coming year giving much more time either. However 2019 could be very different if plans pan out.

Enjoy it as much as you can...I wish I could do more miles & use it more.

Going to the London Motor Show @ Excel on Sat so will certainly give her a nice run there. Going to sound nice & loud in that underground Excel car park!

The 6 Huracans at a few pounds under 150k in order of appearance…

1) Starship Miles
2) My eyes are bleeding
3) Fair call if you like white (I don’t)
4) Motorhub (Buyer beware)
5) Perfect – Alas Sold
6) Be quick ‘cheap car’. Hmmm. And White

What are the other 2?!

2 weeks ago there was a red one lp580-2 for 152.950 with 3600 miles on the clock.
This one is also very well priced

If you really want one just open a thread on forums and i'm sure that trade in money is no more than 130-140k so any owner would be glad to get more than that.They do sell very quick hence is the best value supercar at the moment.You'll be amazed of how many huracans have sold Redline in the last few months!
Don't be put off by the colour as a wrap is almost necessary in order to protect the paint.
Check out this dude on youtube...he beat the s@it out of this car and never broke down

Thanks mate. To be honest I have never got the hang or liked any other forum other than this one. The Ferrari one is a total joke in comparison. I haven’t tried the lambo forum but thanks it’s a good tip. My experience is all car owners seem to think their car is worth more than it is... but I would be very pleased to get one for circa 140. As would i a decent 458.

That's the thing Iain people look at what there is without any research whereas you and I scrutinise ever car to the nth degree.

You in a Lambo reminds me of Nip/Tuck Iain! :)

Needs to be orange and loud!

In all seriousness, I'd be choosing a Huracan over a 458 and looking for a dark colour. I also think i'd want a 610 for the 4WD but I don't think it would be a dealbreaker. Again, if these were nearer 100, i'd be seriously looking but still think I'd go FF before it. I'll never buy a 458 and certainly not a 488. Design doesn't do it for me at all and they made it worse with the 488.

Imo, which counts for little, Lambo screams c*ck more than a Fezza, I'd quite happily have a 599/F12 or 458 Spyder.

Have you seen this one?I'm sure there's some movement on the price
https://www.pistonheads.com/classif...re-essentials-immaculate-12m-warranty/8268533

You should be totally correct! However that is MCS's car. It's a nice example, just without any parking sensors front or rear.
I would buy it at the right price, but he wants 140. He has every right to stick to what he things it's worth. It's just I can't buy it when I have had main dealers offer me similar mileage and age cars with 2 years power warranty for the same. I missed out on one where the photos didn't even go online.

I agree totally with the first bit. I desperately want to like the FF as I think it would get my wife's approval, but I can't get my head around it, and I think they are a little rich in price- especially the ‘higher' mileage ones. I personally think the 448 and 488 look fantastic, but really scream out ‘look at me'. Which I really do not want. I just want to enjoy the drama and theatre of it. For the 4 seat option and drama and looks. The strad is still calling. However for a ‘silly' car this could be my one chance.. the strad and vanquish are waiting on the other side.

And yes Phil- it's an illness. Sometimes you can think too much and miss out on the ‘one!'. Better to have a reasoned choice though

I think you are probably right. However the huracans in a dark subdued colour might be less loud than a red 458. Depends on the combination and how it's driven!

You buy a Lambo because they are exotic , eccentric and esoteric or they used to be. A leftfield choice and an up yours to Ferrari. The cars used to be bonkers not so much now under Audi ownership but they were the pin up poster boy cars from the 80's and something every schoolboy aspired to. Ferrari were bland in comparison.
