2008 Lamborghini Gallardo

Some times Lamborghini makes me wish the world was made for cars. This feeling reminds me of the words of P.J. O’Rourke “Automobiles are free of egotism, passion, prejudice and stupid ideas about where to have dinner. They are, literally, selfless. A world designed for automobiles instead of people would have wider streets, larger dining rooms, fewer stairs to climb and no smelly, dangerous subway stations.”

For years Lamborghini has shocked and awed us with its unique design and we have been nothing less then amazed by each supercar that they have turned out over the last 30 years. Their cars are more then exotic – but they are full of power that many of us can only dream about. The Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago are just a few that we can name. That is why we are excited and happy to welcome the 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo.

The 2008 Gallardo is more traditional then the past models that they have released. It is built with the traditional doors and cockpit. It is available in three different types; the Spyder convertible, standard coupe, and the lightweight performance edition Superleggera.

The Superleggera has a more aggressive suspension tuning and weight reduction that is close to 150 pounds. This makes it much less livable then the other two designs. But on the positive side this model increases the performance and handling for the Gallardo. The Sypder has an added 250 pounds of weight made up of structural reinforcement.

The Sant’Agata factory has already started production on the successor for the coupe to improve upon the Gallardo LP560-4. They Spyder will not be changed and the Superleggera will be sold for this one year only. When it comes to the coupe we think it might be best to wait till 2009 and focus on getting your hands on the Leggera model.

Why Buy a New Car?

Why do people buy new?

The prestige of owning a new vehicle is, for the majority of people, second to none! Knowing that you have the very latest model, with all the newest innovations in car designs, is important for many-having second best simply will not do!
Apart from the prestige there are some fundamental reasons why people opt for a new rather than used car.

Buying new means you have the opportunity to choose the colour and specification you want. If you want a particular colour or paint finish these may be available at additional costs. You may have to wait slightly longer for delivery but you will get exactly what you want. ‘New’ means you do not have to make do with what’s available.

One of the biggest advantages of buying new is the peace of mind that the car has not been driven poorly or abused by anyone else. As every driver has a different way of driving there is no guarantee with a used car that it hasn’t been subjected to driving techniques which have had a detrimental effect on the vehicle.

Although the mileage will let you know how far a car has been driven, it will not tell you how it has been driven. When you buy new these factors need not be considered. You will have the satisfaction and peace of mind that the car has not been mistreated in any way. You will also know that the car has not been involved in an accident or have been continually repaired.

’New’ means that the interior will be in immaculate condition. There will be no wear and tear on the upholstery or internal features. The car won’t smell of stale tobacco or any other unpleasant smells left by the previous owner-it will smell of fresh. clean newness which is very important for some people.

Car manufacturers give a warranty on all of their new vehicles. These are usually for three years, although this does vary. Some manufactures also give extended warranties on body work or specific parts of the car. Buying new means that you will have a vehicle which is guaranteed to perform to its specifications.

When deciding which car to buy the best option is to use a franchised dealership. They will have the best pick of the cars and offer the most comprehensive warranties. Many will also be able to deliver throughout the UK if the car you want is not currently kept or stocked at your local dealership. With some franchised dealerships it may even be possible to import a new car from Ireland, which could save you thousands of pounds.

The dealership should be members of a trade association. They are bound by its codes of conduct. Giving you the satisfaction of buying with complete confidence and assurance of the highest standards.

There are many reasons people choose to buy new rather used cars. Some are purely personal preferences, however for the majority of people buying new cars provides them with the peace of mind and satisfaction that they have the best car complete with the guarantees and warranties to give them many years of trouble free motoring.
