I will be a proud owner of a Gallardo this summer if everything goes right =). The first post I made on the site was very similar to yours. I test drove my first lamborghini gallardo about 3 months ago, and have been doing a lot of research on it so I think I can answer your questions.
1. Yes its a chick magnet.
2. You don't ever want to park this car out for too long without keeping an eye on it. And yes, expect parties by your car when you get back to it lol.(Advice the dealer gave me: 80% of the attention is good, and 20% of it is bad. There are those people that love the lamborghini and will try to do anything to sit in it, while there are those who can't afford it and will hate you for having one, spitting/scratching it, sad world we live in)
3. From what I have seen the depreciation value of the gallardo is insane. I've seen some go all the way to $140,000.
4. If nothing wrong happens, the average maintenance is $4,000 annually. I forgot to ask the dealer how much a clutch replacement costs, but im sure there are 30 people here that can answer that one =).
5. YOU WILL NOT WANT TO DRIVE ANY OTHER CAR AFTER YOU DRIVE A LAMBORGHINI! I promise you!!!!!! It is a whole different exprience. You feel like you own the road and everything on it. So go out there, test drive one and you won't regret it, i guarantee it!
