Lots of variety at that price range.
I’ve always wondered, someone who buys a car at such a high price point do you pay a lot in cash + finance? I’ve never looked into it to understand how it works.

If you trawl through Gibbo’s Ferrari thread he explains it very well in a post.

@kindai I might have nearly persuaded my wife that a Gallardo is a good starter lamborghini for me to have... might still take a couple of years but wanted to know what it was like to maintain and generally live with?
Looking forward to seeing your next purchase!

It's the same at any price point, depends on your circumstances / attitude to risk. it's the same though process, just with bigger numbers.

I do like the Noble, but not really up my street.
Nothing wrong with my current house

Good option, but will probably not get a macca ever unless I can get in and out without it depreciating faster than chocolate in a furnace.

Hard pass
I’m betting Performante!
If you go 458 it can’t be yellow or red haha as we already got two owners here with those colours and there needs to be variety when out on drives.
I can recommend 458 highly, two years in now and reliable and no big bills and I love driving it and you’ve driven mine so you know what it’s like.
I avoided Huracans purely based on they were boring on engagement side at legal speeds but epic looking and epic noise. 458 won me over as far more engaging and happy to play at legal speeds it gives me thrills at 50mph and I think that’s important with a super car and many modern ones fail at engagement at legal speeds these days.
I found many of the super cars I drove quite boring and the 458 was a breath of fresh air.
They might drop to 200k soon but the other epic Ferrari I loved driving was the 812 Super fast.
As you know I was talking to your Ferrari dealer about a 458 which then sold doh!!!
Perf is a solid choice.
No porsches.
MC20 is an option in a few years, wont buy new. Too much depreciation.
Nothing wrong with a Micra.
488 was one of the most disconnected test drives I ever had. Did not enjoy.
Bit out of price
Exactly like the lower price range, stick a deposit in, finance the rest. Bigger numbers. But at bigger numbers you can also get INSANE aprs. Most of my quotes are coming back at 3% or under.
Solid choice
Very easy to live with, and cheap if you dont go to Lambo for servicing. The fuel however.... not so much

I feel like the days of mega mac depreciation are surely behind us, at least on used cars. They know it's a problem and are starting to do things about it, I think. The new Sports series is imminent and they'll have to change tact significantly to shift them, you've got B&C & Litchfield as independent specialists on top of Thorney aswell. All good signs.
Having said that I guess the 600LT is the only one I'd feel properly OK with at your budget, or half your budget on a 570S. A 720S Spider would be a bloodbath I suspect.
I can't think of many cars in your budget that you can actually put miles on and be 'safe' with. Maybe try and get your name down for a Cayman GT4RS or 992 GT3? Easier said than done I know.

Perf, 458, various porches, svr, aventadors, early hurracans.
It's all about hitting the sweet spot between age and mileage.
Perfs aren't special or limited enough to be collectible as such, not like the special edition Ferraris (Speciale, Speciale Aperta, F12 TdF etc).
They're 'just' a really really good version of a Huracan. Probably what the Huracan should have been like from the start.
Yup, but also sought after enough to have a much higher residual value.
Interesting, I was just going off AT where they all have super low mileage - but didn't look much further than that. Are you thinking and older car with low miles, so using it brings it back to average? Or the other way round?
Hi there
Found this and was tempted myself and still am:
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-de...rformante&sort=relevance&model=HURACAN&page=1
Then when I read description and was thinking I've seen this before I remember a certain youtube video of it in a ditch:
In all fairness I doubt it was badly damaged and Lamborghini repaired it to their standards so is still worth considering, I absolutely love the colour combo and its a one of one unique car.
