Before buying my Cecil in 2009 I was seriously considering a basic Manual Gallardo Coupe as they were down to the all time lowest (mid to low £40K @ the time) and I actually went to view & test drive one with intention to buy. The V10 engine is an event, even @ idle
... just turning it over gave me goose bumps. The interior was OK, very AUDIesk which is not a bad thing. It drove really well at normal road speeds and exceleration was immense
but... and it's a big but... what really & truly put an end to my Lambo dream was the Servicing/repair bills the previous owner was subjected to
that were evident in the Service history file. Even the smallest of them was still in four figures
Could I have bought it @ the time , Yes... could I have afford to run it for say 6 months to scratch that Super Car itch ? maybe ... could I have afforded it's Servicing/ repair bills... simple answer was NO! Being a boring realist sometimes
and Captain "Tight Wad" I forced myself to walk away
If you can realistically stomach the HUGE bills associated with Supercars then I'd say GO FOR IT !
Scratch that itch but unless you have very deep pockets I don't see it as a long term proposition... oh and if you're thinking of Tracking, it forget it ... and aim for Fast Pork instead, which is designed for it
Few weeks later I bought my Cecil and never looked back
It just gets better every day
May it continue.
