Again it's just my "opinion" but from past track records this is what I see.
It won't be the first time I'm wrong! But what do I know?
You make an interesting analysis which I am tempted to agree with. Only thing that makes me hesitate is that there are so many Gallardos out there (as raymond says, about 5000). However, your logic seems sound.

There may be an initial drop as dealers, etc. try to move off the older cars, but after this prices might go up. Conversely, the new higher price of the Gallardo lp550 might make a slightly elevated used price seem more attractive, allowing used car sellers to ask for more.

I have no idea for certain.
