The older the Lambo the cooler the seats look

Great video! Really interesting to see the true details on the costs of a supercar! Big thumbs up from Finland !

Great video, thanks! I confirm that supercar ownership costs are very much down to "good luck" or "bad luck". I have owned a Ferrari F355 in which the engine failed - for no apparent reason at all. The car was fully serviced, and it lived a pampered life. Go figure. Then I had a 550 Maranello that cost ZERO to maintain - ok, just an oil change per year and new tires, otherwise it was as reliable as a Camry, for 40,000 miles! Then the Maseratis: Gransport, Granturismo S - all excellent cars. No problems at all except for the clutch going at 20,000 miles (but a lot cheaper to replace than the Lambo's). So if you feel lucky go for it... but always keep a spare 10K in the bank available "just in case"...

you guys are getting better and better with your videos. keep it up!

Very informative video!! Thanks Can you tell me if the second generation Gallardo has better maintenance schedule? Any maintenance information on the Huracan? I would like to know more information on the new Huracan maintenance cost? Currently I have 2011 GT3RS, it is a visceral car. I enjoyed the RS responsiveness. How would you compare the driving sensation from a gallardo, Huracan and the GT3RS? Which car would you like to drive?

Very informative. Averaging around $1 per kilometre per year with my Maserati GT at the moment. Luckily it has a ZF auto so no expensive clutch changes. But as you correctly say, maintenance is a reason why some of these cars aren't daily drivers.

Great video! Looks like you're equipped with our Extended Shift Paddles, how are you liking them?

probably dont check this video still but it sounds like a manual 04 gallardo would avoid most of the issues? or do they have their own set of issues aside from the egear

I see about the lambo system limitation but throw the easy stuff like an oil change out the window, etc and how much does it cost?

Since a lot of people hear want to talk about insurance i just switched to state farm once i turned 20 which was last week. i have 3 cars Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, Maserati Ghibli, and a McLaren 650s. My insurance rate is now $480 a month with state farm. No accidents or tickets, i own a condo, and i have really good credit.

Just noticing that I haven't seen you shift the car, or maybe I missed it. Are you driving in auto mode? I own an F1 and I know that auto mode will burn through a clutch if your not careful, especially if not kept in sport mode, due to the engagement time. Is the Gallardo E-gear the same?

$3000 a year for insurance is cheap for a Lambo... I pay $2000 a year full coverage for a 2015 Toyota corolla and I'm 22....

If youre getting a 2007 or 08 qould it have considerably less problems than the earlier models?

Yeah its kind of a gamble with the early Gallardo E-gear, on the forums some people have issues, some don't. It's a constant reminder for me to be patient and wait for the 09 LP-560 to depreciate, although it will be a difficult task to find one with a 6-speed trans.

Do you drive the Lambo in the winter? If so, can you put smaller diameter rims on it with "normal" thickness winter tires and have spec outside diameter?

Quick question, from what you know, how much cheaper are the manual cars to maintain than the e-gear?

how many times are you gonna circle around the same street. i see you every time you drive the yellow exotic machine. lol just picking at you. i knew you lived around university of Michigan in Ann arbor. for a while i thought i was seeing things.

Is that + paddle shift broke? Looks like the plastic is missing a part or something.

+Vehicle Virgins - is there any additional info on Sunday? Possible multiple-car caravan from Ann Arbor?

one think i have learned to do is shop for car insurance every year...being loyal to a company will do u no good...they want customer loyalty but only give good deals to new customers..same as phone, cable companies, etc

great vid very good insight... im contemplating between 2015 Gtr or gallardo. im in australia... lambo seems to be the more pricey opt i on thanks mate

I've driven the Gallardo and owned the Gen 1 Viper. The Viper is a totally different and more thrilling driving experience. The maintenance is also a LOT lower too. Cannot go wrong with the Gen 1s!!!

Do you still like the egear or do you wish you had the manual?

I hang out with Mark a lot at cars and coffee. He's a really cool guy and has a beautiful exhaust system. Can't wait to see his P85D

do you regret getting the e-gear over the manual transmission?

Thanks for giving us the details about maintaining this beauty! Ps guys don't hate on all the insurance companies. I worked in a few different industries and now Insurance as a Business Analyst For Canada's oldest insurance company Gore Mutual and for the most part the prices are justified, while some reasoning can be a little absurd... A lot of factors and algorithms are part of it as well and geographic regions play a large role.

Great video, keep it up!

I agree with the tire statement, my Mustang is equipped with Pirelli P-Zeros and my god do they wear out quickly. I had to replace one of them, it was $350 for one.

When I was 18 I bought my motorcycle which is a 2011 gsxr 600, so a sport bike. If I wanted full coverage it was going to cost me almost $4000 a year...I went with minimal coverage and pay around $300 a year. I'm 20 now and luckily have never been in an accident or been pulled over.

I think the filters and fluids can be done on your own. I would throw a dash cam when you get service just to see how much time they ACTUALLY spent working on your car. Replacing lines takes more then 12 hours? I think they burn you because the price of the car is so substantial.

what paddle shifter extensions are you using..

Thank you! I wanted to see ur gallardo again

whats good with that paddle shifter?

With your expensive issue (this is why I will never consider an E-Gear, no offense), sure, I can see where you would say the cost of ownership for your Gallardo is $1-$2 per mile, but without that issue, where would you be? These cars are rather reliable as far as exotics are concerned, bar a couple common issues (the E Gear lines being one of them). Would you still have the same opinion on cost of ownership if you had better luck with yours? All cars require maintenance, and the Gallardo is no different, but just with routine maintenance (no repairs being made) they are actually fairly affordable.

What type of camera and camera mount your using.. its freaking STABLE!!!..i want to know..

I have to agree with lambo on the subject of tires, I seen issues with BMW xdrive same size but different brands create issues due to rolling diameter been different. I only seen this with cheap tires

Whats up with your paddles? They look more extended than the normal ones

thanks for all these useful infos : )

11.2 mpg is like what I get with my Cts V lol awesome video very factual and good tips for young budget minded perspective owners!

what is the max miles you would accept on a used gallardo when buying?

How about make a video on where you work and how you saved for the Lamborghini.

21 and has a lambo Good shit man keep it up

If you think that is expensive a volume knob on a Cessna 172 trainer plane cost about $400 lol. The annual inspection required by the FAA is usually 3K+. Any god forbid something breaks (hopefully not while flying) expect to spend a few K at least.

11.2 mpg is not too bad my GL550 averages about 13 mpg and it has 2 less cylinders so per cylinder its pretty close. I too have to run premium fuel which where I like is between 3.75 and 3.90 depending on where I go.

Where did you go with them 5k miles? Was it car shows or just random cruising?

Your insurance is still HELL of a lot cheaper than mine being the same age and I drive a 2001 Acura Integra :P My premium is $400/month granted I live in Ontario, Canada where insurance is generally high.

You should come down to Houston sometime!

My v12 mercedes with the m120 motor is a beast! But i pay about €135 a full tank twice a month. I pay insurance €125 a month. Roadtaxes €65 a month and that is without maintenance. That is already €460 but i am the only one with a v12 in the area.

bro,i just love the gallardo. i still look up for gallardo on Internet. i just wanted to ask why didn't you buy the Audi R8 V10 ?

Hahah that's why I looked so hard for the manual transmission gallardo that I now own after 10 years of seating up and I've own it for 2 years and no problems at all that's why the e-gear is a bad option for transmission on the o4 gallardo cause after the 05 version had a much better transmission

This is why I'm turned off by e-gear... it'd be different if it was actually a decent transmission, but the shifting on 1st-gen e-gears isn't great, can be matched or beaten by a good manual driver. The e-gear hates reverse especially on inclines. The e-gear will sometimes slip the clutch if you're cruising in low speeds in 2nd gear because it "thinks" it's bogging so it wants to add gas. Sometimes e-gear won't shift past 2nd or won't go into gear at all, anything from a $70 dollar relay to a $500 dollar electric motor to a $1,000 dollar pump, plus hydraulic lines which you experienced. Long story short, I don't think this transmission is "good enough" to justify the higher operating costs. It'd be different if you were comparing a 7-speed manual Porsche 911 to a 7-speed PDK Porsche 911. The PDK will have slightly higher running costs but its a much better transmission all around. I feel like owning an e-gear is like ordering a hamburger but being charged for a steak... sure it tastes good but I'll take a hamburger with similar taste that has realistic hamburger pricing.

How much is it to maintain yourself? How many other owners have you met that take care of their own maintenance?

'04 Gallardos (both manual and e-gear) have super tall first gear ratios that result in a ton of clutch slippage when you're pootling around town. That combined with the weak pre-refresh clutches why they burn through them so quickly. The '05+ cars, in particular the LP560, are supposedly much better. Better still is buying a rare manual car so you have no hydraulic lines, e-gear pumps, and expensive actuators to worry about. Or just lease a new Ferrari with 7 yrs/unlimited mileage warranty and included maitennance.

Never expected A Lambo Gallardo to be significantly cheaper to maintain then a comparable Ferrari. Then again, I can afford neither so I never did research on them. I´ll stick to my R34 for now. Nice video.

Is it appropriate to ask where you currently work at or what is your current career? Certainly KZread (I would assume) couldn't get you that lovely car you got there.

Do you track your car if so where ?

there is no way 1k for trans service and oil service that is almost what it is in BMW. BMW trans fluid is very expensive but there is to need to change it since is "lifetime"

is the corvette zo6 faster?

3k per year for a Gallardo is an absolute steal. You seriously don't want to know how much they charge in UK/Ireland.

in the uk we have independent sevice centers for most cars, even lambos and ferrari. you can buy a new car and take it to eny garage to have it serviced and still keep the warranty. Thr dealer monopoly has been broken. Main dealer, say Ford £130 per hour. independent £50 per hour. iv had experience with both. The indy don't have a fancy waiting area with pot plants ect and a big glass show room. Thats what you pay for at main dealers. A friend has is oil and filter changed every 6000 miles ,£35 at is local indy. oh the cars done 300000 miles no faults. His work mate got the same car and followed the sevice intervals to the book at main dealer. This car had more faults than a tennis match. Both the same car.

Aren't some of those expenses, such as the lines that blew, covered under warranty?

Good luck with the car!High risk way to find fun!

Thanks for sharing and being honest, I find it annoying that high cost item is so unreliable. As an engineer, I have decent understanding why its so, low volume means higher cost parts to be profitable, plus not enough money to test the cars properly to fix issues... despite this, its still ridiculous. I will stick with Porsche's for now, they have more common sense than most of the sports car makers. I know this is somewhat relative, but I cant bring myself to spend that kind of money on maintenance, price of admission is one thing, I shouldn't have to worry so much if the car is going to start....

im lost. the car cost so.. much money but half of the stuff on the car is made really poorly?? hows that work?

The insurance is 3,000 dollars per month or per year?

It's not that bad. For a simple 2.7 Boxster 986 base (something that you can buy for less than 9000$), I paid more than 3000$ on parts alone this year, and I did everything myself, it would have been another 3000+$ on labor ! So, not that bad considering you have more than twice the power ;)

It cost about 4 grand on average for a young persons car insurance each year in my area. It would cost me 300 to 400 a month for me to have a 2000 Malibu.

when and where is the meet? I would love to come meet you :)

That insurance is a lot lower than I thought it would be. With my family there is three of us and we have three vehicles and we share the three cars. Dad told me that per year insurance is 3100$. So 100$ more for about 140k worth of cars. Plus they are Toyotas so thats great

With car being out of warranty why not take it to an Indy for service?

Im 19 and just got a 2016 audi s3 checked every box on the order I pay about the same 220/m on state farm

you can go with a higher mileage tire you dont have to have a super high performance summers tires.

I called the McLaren Store a 650S is 2400 bucks for the first year and 3600 Second year or every 10,000 miles...They alternate between those two. They spend 3-4 days with the car bring it to factory speck. They said this prevents a lot of bad things happening later...So who knows! They expect service costs for the new 570S to be a little cheaper.

There are also no independents that really can work on them or scan them so your stuck with the few and far between dealers, and the dealers know this. Mclarens sell at a discount off msrp brand new while Ferrari's and some Lamborghini's sell well above msrp when new.

how much did you spend on the car??

I remember when Peter mentioned his gas cap. Blew my mind.
