check it out, if everything is sorted scoop it up. 6 speed ferraris are getting rarer and rarer.

I think you should listen to what Jamie says.

I agree with DJ 6 speed equals yes.

Whoa, thanks for all the feedback guys. I was positively set on a Gallardo because my original criteria were for a daily, I was even planning to drive the G in the winter. I thought the Audi side would make it more reliable than pretty much anything else in that range. Anyway, the salesman (who was hilarious) started telling me the G sucks in winter, it's less reliable than the 360 and less user friendly. I was kind of skeptical but I was pretty dismayed by the G interior. In pictures it looks nice but in person I was expecting more.

It's pretty much my dream colour combination, and I wouldn't have paid attention to it if it was in 6 speed so it kind of stood out and waved its arms around at me.

McCoy - Wheels are original 360 Modena wheels, it has red calipers and 25k km which I guess it about 15 mi? They're asking 149 for the car. Car got it's 15k done and a new clutch last year and this dealer did it I believe. They say it has service history but I haven't gotten that far with this dealer yet so I haven't looked at it personally. Not sure about the books or the window sticker or the spare, I believe it has the inflation kit.

The car just looks stunning in person, even better than the pictures, normally I hate weird interiors, but it was the right dark red that I love and everything is just gorgeous on the car.

Thanks for all the comments so far guys.

Here's some more pics from the dealers site,
















Jamie, the car is at Caliber Auto in Toronto. Is that where you saw it? I'll post it up on F-Chat. Glad to hear you like the cars in 6 speed though, it just seems like it will be more sheer fun than a G.

I'm not too worried about the resale values. This car is spec'd (almost) exactly how I would do it, so I wouldn't get I don't know... Red/Tan or whatever just because of resale. The GTA is full of idiots anyway, and I refuse to have idiots dictate my purchases.

Do you have any info on the VI G?? I don't think I've heard of it. My eyes permanently see yellow Gallardo's now because that's the only colour I see them in around here.

Why would you drive that in a crappy Toronto winter? All the salt will destroy it..

I don't even like driving my truck on the roads with all the salt and crap.

Nice car thou, get it, then lease a Pontiac Wave for the winter to keep the 360 nice and fresh.
