Well it has finally happened in Australia, July 1, 2004 the Gallardo has gone up in price by $25,000 or 5%. The retail, manual with standard paint is $424,950 or USD$ 300,000 plus on road costs of about $21,000, add e-gear at $26,000 and your new car will cost close to a cool half million with insurance, delivery, fuel and maybe a DVD sound system. Keep in mind there is about $130,000 in taxes going to the good old Aussie government.

Lamborghini are making it even rarer to see one of these beauties on the road.

Wow, it's more expensive than I thought!!!!!!!!

I saw a Yellow Gallardo southern Sydney about a month or two ago. TWICE in two days!

I don't care about the price rise though, cause I'm not buying one anytime soon!

Well if it helps, you can buy a Gallardo with e-gear in NZ for $372,000 get 12.5% back on GST (unlike the $5750 here!) and ship it here on a carnet.

And that's NZ DOLLARS!!!

We are getting majorly ripped off here.

Damn stright we are. I went to a Novatel hotel for my birthday this year. One beer. 375ml. LIGHT. How much did it cost I hear you ask?
FIVE DOLLARS FIFTY!

Screw you hippy, for doube that price I get an entire 6pack.
