So if you want it to be your daily car, it wont hurt it as long as you keep up with the checkups?? Is it costly?? I dont see the point in having a beautiful car if you dont use it as much as possible. Money is money. Life is short, live your dream and dont look back am I right??!! Any other comments???

I have searched the Forum and have found some verry helpful information. However, I have not found how many miles for a Murcielago is too many. If we get this car, we want to use it as often as possible. Any one have interesting mileage on their Murcielago?

Well, roy at catsexotics, has a 2007 lp640 with 11k miles and he said there is another yellow lp640 with 17k miles to date.

I've seen some 02, 03 murcie with 30k and they've been maintained well and still running strong.

When I sold my 2003 last year I had logged over 36K on it...and it still ran strong as hell...

I have a tad bit over 11K on my 2007 LP640 and approacing over 30K on my 2001 6.0SE #19..both could not be running better..

How many miles do you intend on putting on your LP640 total?? That is the car we are interested in the most for when we get one.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have this guy selling a 1987 Countach with only 350 miles! Claims to be the lowest mileage Countach in the world.

I'd be darned scared of a 21 year old car with 350 miles on it... no telling what the seals, etc... look like
