2007 Gallardo - What to look out for?

So there's a 2007 Gallardo up for sale close to me, I haven't gone to see it yet but the owner has advertised the car having done only 6,000KMs.

When I go to see the car, what things should I look out for?

Thank you.

I don't have a great deal of knowledge for the mechanicals. But something I would do is look for any wet areas on or under the car. Oil, grease, fluids etc. if you can ask him, I would want to seethe car before it had been started that day. See what's under it from overnight or longer, and you can hear the engine cold and let it warm up. A warm engine means to me they could have Been Tinkering with it etc . Check body panel bolt heads and see if they look like they have been removed before. Look for different colors between panels in case it's had body work.

I would have a dealer do a PPI in any event. But I would look it over myself first and see if it fit the bill. What color? Egear or 6 speed? There might have been some early egear computer problems but I can't remember

Pretty much bullet proof like the 911 actually.

Clutch is probly original at its age. Look for check engine light and scan the computer for any codes. Check tire condition/age, ac, battery voltage, signs of prior accident. There should be no leaks but if there is a little coolant, it's common and easy fix. Make sure you get all service records, manuals and keys. That's especially important on an exotic
