Beautiful color/wheel combination:2tu:

I would estimate in the $60K-$63K range, but the used exotic market seems a little schizophrenic right now(kind of like the stock market) so you really won't know till you get it out there.

Good luck with your sale, and your eventual new toy!

Low $60s is probably most realistic. Depends on how fast you need to sell. If you need to move it $58K - $60K, but if you are willing to wait, $62-$65K sounds about right but there is a lot of competition now especially with the new 2008s coming soon. Good luck with the Gallardo.

New untitled ones are going for high $60s so a low mileage example will go for less. I say keep both; best of both worlds.

If you can afford to have both, then that's what I would do. Otherwise, you will take a big hit on your 06' vert. I thought of selling my 05' FGT, getting an 08' Viper coupe and pocketing the remainder (investing it). Then I came to my senses, losing 20-25K in the first year of ownership was not worth it!

Can't go wrong with the Gallardo. It is a beautiful car. I would like to have an orange SE with E-gear

A 7100 mile car just like your car (except w/H spokes) is on ebay, says he will take $61K.

How many miles have you put on the Viper since you purchased? Do you expect to put the same amount on the Gallardo? Trust me, you can't drive the Gallardo as much as you could the Viper. Expect to replace the clutch after about 8k miles and spend over $7k doing so. Also expect to take massive losses with it once you reach the 10k mile mark. $3k to replace tires, $2k for the 15k service, etc - Very expensive to own and maintain. That said, if you're willing to spend the money it's an AWESOME car.

Good luck.

E-Gear is what causes the clutch not to last as long, they have problems.

Yes the 355 is pretty expensive, bought a '98 with 6k miles on it and had to pay $6k for a service (replace belts, etc)

I've put more money into maintenance on the Gallardo's than the Ferrari - Have a 355, 360 & F430.

Seems like you know what you're doing though, from your first post I wasn't sure you had owned one before, just trying to give my advise from past experience :2tu:

Gallardo are awseome! ***** how bad the Vipers loose on resale.
Not nearly as much as a Ferrari or Lambo (Although mileage is MUCH more sensitive on them than a Viper) You'll lose about $3 per mile in mileage depreciation alone on an F430

I was offered $58K for my '05 Viper with 25,000 miles on it. Ask Jon B. at partsrack to get a better idea of what your car should bring. I would guess it should bring $65K before the '08 Vipers hit the streets. Then it should diminish somewhat.
