At the risk of showing my ignorance, I wanted to inquire with the group your experiences with overall reliability with the Lamborghini Gallardo, specifically 2007-2010 models.

I have been a long time Porsche enthusiast and will continue to be, but am interested in picking up a used, low miles L car. My experience with P cars has been solid with really low cost of ownership. With the recent GT3 issues, am in a holding pattern here.

I was looking for feedback on reliability overall, the commitment from the brand to owners (and second owners) and generally cost per year typically.

My two neighbors own a Ferrari and a Lambo respectively, and the F car i know i cannot afford as his timnig belt change alone was $10K. My lambo friend said he has had no serious issues and his has driven 17K miles in 3 years. So was looking for a broader sampling of input. Thanks for your patience and input. Look forward to pulling the trigger soon.

 

10k for a belt service? I have owned 2 f cars and have never heard of that high of a price unless other things where done. With that being said I have always wanted to own a lambo.

 

I think he is talking about the F360... But I though it was 3k for the belts.. (Still a lot)

You won't have to worry about that if you buy a F430 or a Gallardo!

 

I have a 2004 Gallardo, Egear with 12k miles... I bought it with 6k miles 10 months ago and I couldn't be happier!

Gallardos are very reliable, when you buy a Gallardo you are getting the Italian look with the German technology... Get a Gallardo! You won't be sorry! I'm coming from a 997TT, Pcars are fun and reliable but I love my Gallardo way more than my Turbo.

 

If you get the PPI done and have records of services done to the car, it should be ok.
