I was wondering if anybody here has any experience with a Lamborghini.

Recently, me and my fiance were thinking about purchasing a used Lamborghini Gallardo. I would like to hear other people's take on them. Is it worth the insurance costs, gas mileage, etc?
 
Only if you can afford the maintenance. The problem is not the price of the car. You can put down $10,000 on it, and pay a monthly car note and walk out of there with it. But you must be able to afford the insurance, maintenance, gas, mechanic in case something goes wrong. Which will probably alone be about $15,000 a year since used cars have more of a likelihood of defaulting. Hope this helps you.
 
Owned one for 8 months, here's my take:

Cons:

- Good luck finding a mechanic (a trustworthy one)
- Be prepared to ALWAYS pre-plan your trips (where am I going to park? are there many bumps in the road? is it a safe area?)
- Get used to not seeing anything on the road except for what's directly in front of you.
- Cops hate you.
- Always worried it's going to get stolen.... Or worse: your house/garage gets broken into, putting your family in danger.
- Get ready to get your car keyed 5 times per year, out of jealousy.
- And let's be honest here: you're more likely to get into an accident.... I've never met anyone who owns a lambo that is a consistently responsible driver... Myself included at the time...

Pros:

- It's a lambo.

IMO
If you are in that ballpark your net worth should be 1 Mil+
Else, its not worth it.
 
Buy a special edition model if possible ie. Baboni or SuperLeggera - as the Gallardo is nearly done or done now, for resale values it would be better to have a limited edition model to retain value. You've now got Audi's blood running through the cars, too, so they will last longer. Check out EVO's buying guide, tells you everything you need to know - evo.co.uk - One last thing.....good choice :)
 
Just get a Honda or Toyota. More reliable and better gas mileage, otherwise you are just wasting your money. LOL
 
What do you think of this one , My Dream Car

This is stupid advice. Buying a low end car is like buying stuff at Walmart - sure, it's cheap, but it's not very good and it breaks way sooner than something of quality.

As with most things, the upper-middle end range is the best, unless money is no object. Think BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche. You can get a few year old BMW for the same price as a new Honda.

Paul Walker just died in a Porsche Carrera GT. Are you sure you wanna buy a Lamborghini Gallardo?
 
you're a teenager aren't you?

because in the real world a net worth of 1 million is nowhere near enough to blow any on a lambo.

a decent fucking house is at least 700K!

Agreed. Honestly, if you're buying a Lamborghini, you should be making at least one million per year.
