I've noticed quite a lot of threads here posted about being able to "maintain" a Lambo. Seems like an owner here and there is experiencing problems with clutches, A/C, trannies, etc. How come a car that costs in excess of $100,000 has to be "maintained". I would think that a car that expensive should be a lot more reliable........

They are machines just like any other car. They are cars that are driven hard that need the work. If you take care of what you have it will last. If you beat it like a rented mule it is going to break. Just like anything else.

These cars are designed to push the very limits of performance. They are not designed to be driven in the same mundane manner as my Lexus. I fully expect my Lexus to be flawless as it's designed as an everyday car for everyday use. My Lamborghini is expected to go to 0-60 in 3.2-3.4 seconds, (depending on who you read), hit well over 200 MPH, etc., and to do all that, it may take some 'tweaking' because it is the edge of engineering. There are not tens of thousands of these cars on the roads to build the knowledge base found in high volume production. Besides all this, the LP is hand-made, and subject to human error, but at the same time built with some real passion. I love my care and it's far exceeded my expectations. Does it need more car than my Lexus? Absolutely! Do I expect ANY hyper-car to be flawless? Nope! It's all part of owning one of the fastest most fun to drive cars in the world.

That is one good reason to purchase NEW and get the factory warranty. Also I heard that Lamborghini is going to be offering an "extended warranty option" in about a month, anyone heard about this?

Thanks Russ

Exotic cars are made from exotic parts, not very cheap or easy to replace, unlike mass production vehicles.
