OK dumb question but......
I know ..... If you have to ask, you cannot afford it but!!!!!!
I had a 1999 360 and the ownership costs (routine service etc.) were killing me. $5000 here and $5000 there. Then a clutch for $8000. Yikes! Time to sell. Got the CLS.. Love it but it is not an exotic.
What are the routine costs for the gallardo? What is the warranty?
tempting!!!!!

If I remember correctly, Lambos are 2 years/24k miles...which is the main reason I steered away from buying one. The Bentley GT is a little better....3 years with unlimited mileage. I would have to think an aftermarket warranty is a must on a Lambo...and I bet those have to run $5-10k.
When you think of what we pay as Benz owners (S, CL, SL) for repairs and the price relative to a Lambo or Bentley, our upkeep isn't that bad...even with the lackluster reliability on some models.
Traumadoc, isn't the Viper ridiculous on those costs too? I have a friend who has one and he told some of the prices for some stuff and it was ridiculous, and this is on a $80k car, if that. He said calipers were $2000-3000...he may have been exagerating.

Viper
Only had the Viper about a year. Not real easy to drive and the wifeeeee burned her leg on the sidepipe that is very well camoflaged (sp) by the lower body.
It was a 99 and really fast and spirited but was always under warranty.

Was on the waiting list in Columbus OH. After I saw one in person, I opted against it. My accountant forbade it is well.... Saving for something I like better.....
