How ruinous is a Gallardo?

[Funkstar De Luxe]

With 2006 Gallardos starting around 55-60k, my old noggin was doing some jogging.

I don't car about fuel economy, I'd do the servicing / general spannering myself. How high is the protentional for total disaster?

Car would not be a garage queen, would be used 4-5 days per week.

TALK ME OUT OF THIS, PLEASE :-)

Will that be what customers are looking for when you're trying to sell a £50k car in a few years time? You might save ££ on servicing but cost yourself £££££££££££££££ in additional depreciation.

I don’t care about resale value. A car to me is dead money. What I want though is something reliable and maintainable

Is the improved reliability of the LP version worth the 10 - 20k price differential over the pre-LP?

Specifically what’s improved about it? Is there a resource you can point me to?
