The throw out bearing isn't required with a new clutch, but if you need one that is the stated cost. Clutch wear in any car depends on the driver. Have you researched the cost on the F-430 which would include most of these expenses as well as the timing belt replacement.

Cats exotic is located in WA, Im from Northeast area, so I must fly over there to look at the cars. Is lambo warranty 2 year/24000 miles, if thats the case, the 2004 and 2006 would make no differences as both are out of warranty. So as long as the clutch, bearing, 7500 mile service are done, the 2004 listed above from an non-lambo dealer is a good buy? What is the differences between my local non-lambo dealer to cat exotic which is also a
non - lambo dealer. The differences between a 2004 to a 2006 is more than $20,000. Do you think buying a 2004 and use the $20,000 saving for maintenance is a better idea?
Are you getting those numbers, 1400$, 2600$ from a authorized lambo dealer or local shops?
Here are a few cars I ve been looking at these past 2 weeks.
997 turbo Black/Black $122000 2200 miles
997 Turbo cab white/terra NEW $143,000
997 Turbo cab black/black Ordering new $138,000
Gallardo 2004 Yellow/black$130,000 4900 miles from local non-lambo dealer
Gallardo 2005 yellow/black $139,000 7100 miles from Lambo dealer
Gallardo 2006 Silver/Black $146,000 9100 miles from Lambo dealer
In your honest opinion, which of the above is the best deal? and why?
Im thinking the 2004 Gallardo is the best, I save about $16000 and thats plenty to spend on maintenance for the 2 years of ownership just as long as the clutch and bearing, 7500 mile maintenance have been completed.
The porsche dealer told me if I were to order a 911 TT cab, I must order with sport chron, which I dont understand why. Sounds like New TT cab is the best option if I were to get the porsche. And plus its a convertible.
I really love the Gallardo but at the same time want a convertible, but I cant afford a Gallardo spyder.
