Gallardo V Murci running costs

[P101]

Having owned and run a Gallardo for two years, clocking up 20k miles in that time, I am quite familiar with the running costs. I am now in the process of getting another Lambo, either another Gallardo (Spyder) or a Murci, I would love a Murci, but don't have a clue about running costs. Has anyone run both? Could they inform me on realistic differences. I am talking about servicing and general maintenance mainly, I'm not interested in MPG. I am also not interested in official lambo dealers costs, as I would rather get the better quality work found at an Indy, i.e. Mike Pullen, Emblem etc.

Any response appreciated.

I had '04 and '06 Gallardos and then an '07 LP640 and found the running costs about the same. The Murci was better sorted in fact and spent less time off the road.

I have run an 05 Gallardo, then 05 Murci, 08 SuperL & a 10 LP-560-4 Spyder

The Murci's servicing costs were considerably more than any of the Gallardo's (get used to £3-4k annual servicing bills)

Bar this tyres are actually pretty reasonable (they are wide, but only 18's)

None of them ever broke down nor failed me (well, a £27 door solonoid went on the Murci once and the battery needed replacing)
