[b]LIKE NEW 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo E-gear! This is a ONE OWNER car with the coolest optional equipment and custom touches that make it stand apart from the others! Having only been driven a 3.950 mainly highway miles since delivery; this car looks like it has never left the showroom! Finished in the Rare Pearl Orange over Black all leather interior stitched in orange, and LOADED with factory options like E-Gear, alloy wheels, transparent bonnet, hydraulic rising front suspension, yellow painted brake calipers, electric seats, premium sound system, coming home feature, anti theft system, electric folding wing mirrors, on-board computer, dual zone A/C, car care kit, Lamborghini car cover. Kicking up the coolness factor are the full TUBI Exhaust system adding an extra 25 hp along with the best sound, tinted windows, and full front latest generation 3M Protection system(full fenders, full hood, full front bumper, and exposed body edges) makes this loaded one owner car one of the best on the used market. Options on this car are totalizing over 40.000 dollars. The 2 years FACTORY warranty will expire in January 2008, allowing its next owner tranquility over time. I am selling this beauty because I am relocating to NY.

The car is located in Miami, and my selling price is 169.000 USD. MSRP was over 215.000 dollars (including all upgrades).

Just curious, the ORIGINAL Lambo sticker was over $215k? I was adding it up and that does not sound right, or are you adding extra on the MSRP for the aftermarket things added???
Anyway, Awesome car. I have the same color but with the ULTRA RARE BLUE AND ORANGE interior, and mine is stick. Sorry, just dont see the reason to buy an automatic supercar. That would be like buying an automatic Motorcycle.....takes the fun away!

To be perfectly clear, yes I am adding up "aftermarket things" as you call them which where installed by the authorized dealer upon delivery of my car. Therefore, the sticker was globally including those upgrades.
Now in order to explain my choice about the E-Gear instead of the stick please read the following:

Driving my car in the US, and on the roads only, I find it just not very important to have either one. Except maybe that the E-Gear allows you to cruise much less frustrated than with the stick; as driving the car the way it is meant to be is nearly impossible outside a racing track, therefore once in a while when you want to push the car on the road you just have to downshift and the car does the rest. As with the stick you must be permanently tempted to break the law, and finish with an impounded car. Therefore, I rather have a E-Gear Gallardo in my garage, and on the road, than an impounded Stick Gallardo at the courts house garage.
And trust me, you are tempted enough with the E-Gear.

Now technically speaking, and for your information, the Lamborghini Gallardo is equipped with some electronic that you cannot deactivate so as far as lecturing me about my choice, and about quote: "Sorry, just don’t see the reason to buy an automatic super car. That would be like buying an automatic Motorcycle.....takes the fun away" you should understand that the fun you are talking about is taken away by the electronic on both versions, and not by the E-Gear. This car was meant to perform, and it does just about that as its track times compared to the F430 are very similar, even if the F430 just came out. Now don't get me wrong as I love the car myself, but if you are looking for pure fun, and to play like a kid with the stick you probably got the wrong car, and you should go for a Viper, a Lotus, a Donkervort, or maybe even a F430. If you are a track guy then go for a Porsche GT3 Euro Cup, and then your argument makes sense if you get the old version witch is stick, because if you get the new one they all come sequential as it is on the Lambo (and not automatic). Wondering why? Well just because it performs much better once you are racing. Stick is good if you keep on doing 0 to 60' at the red lights, and drag race with your friends, but sorry not my type.

In the contrary, if you are looking for an extremely well engineered car, with outstanding performances and the ultimate driving feeling then you got the right car, and then again maybe not you as you have it stick!!!

Oh, and by the way, this is not quite yet a super car such as Poersche GT1 (and not GT), Enzo, F40, Paggani Zonda, Edonis, Cizeta Moroder...

Enjoy the picture of one of the rarest modern super car. Only 19 where ever produced as street version. You are looking at number 17, but sold it 6 month ago in Switzerland.

Awesome car! But you took me the wrong way and I apologize if it sounded that I was derogatory. I simply think that a manual 6 speed transmission makes the car alot more fun to drive and gives you the full experience of the 500hp. There are LOTS of people out there that would only have an e-gear, but its just not for me. I CAN control my driving on my manual 6 speed, but when I am ready to have some fun, its right there in MY HANDS, not the cars computer. To each his own. You have a GREAT looking car and will probably have NO PROBLEM selling it. Best of luck with the sale. I will tell some people I know looking for gallardos!
