If it helps you make a decision here is my Gallardo bill between Jan 06 and June 07 when I sold it:

Bought for £88,500
Sold for £81,000

Depreciation: £7,500
Miles done: 12k
One 15k major service: £2,000
One set of tyres: £950

Roughly 1.5 years happy motoring and 12k miles = £10,450 (with depreciation)

Obviously road tax and insurance are other add-ons.

The key is that you buy at the right price to start off with IMHO (mid Jan seems to be the best time to get reductions off dealer sticker prices - my car was up at £104,950!!)

Dunno, my car broker Chap sourced it. The car was up at Lambo Manchester. Not sure if they dropped the price to shift a unit/stock or whether the car was SOR and my broker got the car through the original owner.
