what to look for ?

[shanes]

ok tickets and hotel booked , so i will be flying to to see the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 E-Gear Coupe 2009 , its got 5000 mile on it . As im new to Lamborghini and the whole super car thing i was wonder what i should be looking for , what problem are common with them if any ? what are the main running expenses , services , clutch , brakes etc ?
i don't plan on doing that many miles as i live in Asia and i plan to leave it at my place in Andorra , we will only be there 3-4 times a year

please if you own one give me some idea's

cheers shane

lovely car, but honestly, I’d be sending an independent reputable specialist to check the car and report back before I purchased the plane tickets

Agreed. If the price and spec suits get it to an dealer / specialist for an Inspection. If the car is good do the deal. If not save yourself a journey.

Thanks guys but the car is at a dealers already , will also get 100 point check and full service if i buy it before it leaves . they will also ship the car for me .
i was more looking at what or any issues owner have found with them , i have heard they like clutches is this right ?

Give Karl a call at Verdi - they know the Murci inside out so would be able to give some friendly advice regarding issues to look out for etc.

Could also try Lambo Sevenoaks, though I have not dealt with them:

I'm not an owner, so I'm sure one will be along shortly to give advice... I think 6th Gear run a LP640 long term on their experience days.

I think that what they are advising you to do is to have ANOTHER specialist look at it for you to give you an INDEPENDENT view. Naturally,the dealer selling the car is going to give it a clean bill of health, isn't he?

If this is the car that the OP mentioned in his last thread, then it's going to be at the Shakes place in Preston . . . . . so would suggest A.E or JMH inspecting it or having it taken to Lamborghini Manchester / Stockport
