murcielago vs aventador vs ?--reliability/maintainance costs
Discussion
any real life experience with regards to the reliability and maintenance costs of an aventador vs a murcielago would be appreciated
there appear to be quite a number of aventadors in lovely colours advertised currently , and it might just be that by waiting a year or two , that the depreciation curve might work favourably
hopefully, my pre-airbag ,red, manual 355 berlinetta, should not depreciate within that time frame, to quite the same extent
capital costs aside, reliability and the dreaded maintainance costs, also play a huge part in one's enjoyment of a toy , hence this thread
the aventador will of course lack the classic bizzarrini engine , but has that gorgeous interior
can't quite think of what else has the drama and excitement of these 2 cars for the price

This is the situation I considered when I recently bought my Aventador albeit I was looking at the possibility of a Huracan as well.
I decided to go for the Aventador in the end for a couple of reasons and that was partly because of the availability of a new Huracan which was 5-6 months and I'm not very patient.
I got the old man maths calculator out and reckoned I'd lose no more on the Aventador in my 12-18 month ownership period than the new Huracan, obviously this is just a guess but who knows!
The other thing was that I wanted a full manufacturers warranty which I couldn't get on the Murci.
What I will say is that since I've owned the Aventador I've not regretted a single moment. What I will say about these cars is they attract attention like no other I've owned and they truly are an event each time you take them out.

f1ten: either a murcie or an aventador would be wonderful , but I tend to keep, so am happy to wait for the right thing to come along
you had/ have 2 of my favourite cars: the series 1 mx5 and the Heffernan & greenley continental R.
just got a second series 1 mx5 , 1990 1st of the long nose uk cars , with 28k miles , in absolutely concours condition for the price of a set of murcie tyres---hugely under-rated cars .Its going into beaulieu for photography later this month as their photographic library reference example
sone: nice to know that I am not alone in my thought processes
an aventador is definitely outside the budget just now , but with a bit of time and saving......
I, and i am sure others, would be keen to know how the reliability and maintainance costs play out as the months roll on
do keep us informed
resso : yes , got a murcie literally within feet of the garage doors, but sadly not into the garage itself !!
many a slip betwixt cup and lip etc, etc
on the positive side , this now opens up the possibility of keeping my 355 for some time longer, and looking at alternatives , and the aventador is the first to come to mind
