Selling Your Lamborghini Gallardo Online
When the Lamborghini Gallardo first hit the world’s roads in 2003 (2004 in the USA), it was an instant hit. Over the 10 years of its production run, over 14,000 were sold, making it the best selling Lamborghini of all time. That combination of style and speed that attracted customers first time around is still there. Mid-production models’ top speed of 201 mph is still incredible, and the design has barely aged. The Huracan may be faster, but there’s barely a person alive who’d pass up on the chance to own one of these, and, if you want to sell yours, that’s something you can capitalize on. I’ll show you how.
Research
Over their 10 year lifespan, many, many different models of the Gallardo were made. Is yours a Spyder, or a Superleggera? Or, come to that, a LP 570-4 Superleggera or a LP 550-2 Spyder? It can all be kind of bemusing — you almost certainly know your model number, but how does it relate to the others? Is it one with rear-wheel drive? More powerful or less powerful than other models? These differences, combined with the usual issues of mileage, technical issues, damage, all will affect your pricing. Ignoring that, and presuming your car is in good physical condition, a good quote for both you and the customer should range from around $90K to $200K.
Getting A Check-Up
You should be treating a car like this well, but before you sell it, double that. You want your car to be shined like a new recruit’s shoes in base camp, and running like a Swiss watch. I’d recommend taking your car to an authorized Lamborghini dealership for the checkover. Taking it to them lets them not only check over the usual stuff, but also hook your car up to the LDAS diagnostic system, which lets them do a variety of other in-depth checks, including measuring a variety of different engine pressures, checking a galaxy of engine aspects and also allows real-time adjustments. Some independent dealers do have this system, but it costs around $20K, so you’re more likely to be able to find a Lamborghini dealership near you rather than an independent workshop with the tech. It won’t be particularly cheap, but think of it as an investment. You’re going to be making a lot of money off this car, but only if everything is in check, so it’s well worth the cost.
Finding Your Market
This ties into research again, but you’re not selling something cheap. Assuming your car is in good condition, and even if it needs a little TLC, you shouldn’t have that much of an issue selling your Lambo. However, it isn’t going to be a cheap car. Advertising it alongside old Fords or Dodges won’t cut it. Find your market. Your car is one people will travel for, so don’t keep it totally local. Find enthusiast groups in your region and online, advertise it on a listings site such as this very one, where rates start at $99, and you should find a buyer in no time.
Presentation and Manner
Finally, the golden rule of sales: present well, present confidently. You know all those bad sales experiences you’ve had over the years? Don’t be those people. Clean up your car inside and out, and honestly answer any questions a potential buyer has. They’re going to be spending a lot on your car, so it’s natural for them to want to be completely confident in their choice. Be the salesperson you want to see in the wild.
So, let’s recap: research, research, research: know your model and its place in line; get it checked over by an authorized Lamborghini dealer, know your market, and be the salesperson you’d like to buy from. Follow these tips, and go out and sell your Gallardo!
