Ok first off i'm a blue coller guy trying to make something happen for myself. I'm thinking of starting a Exotic car rental shop with a gallardo being it's first car. I live in an area which has the money to support that kind of a business and i would be the only one around for a good 500 miles. I know you guys would hate to see a gallardo live a life as a rental, sorry! My couple of questions are...

What is the warrenty of an 04 gallardo? all the places i've look at that are selling this car just say it still has one but i want to know.. the miles/year

I've seen a couple of used 04' model for sale with 20,000+ miles this would suggest decent relibility. ture or false? being a rental it would have to put up with being driven hard a lot with only the amount of maintenace i could do myself since the nearest dealership would be 8-9hours away.

Also how much money are you spending to keep the car running healthy lets say a month or every 6 months? untill the business gets off the ground i'll more then likely be eating roamen so i'd like to keep overhead as low as possible.

I've heard most exotics are very finicky. since i've read that audi is behind them now mass producing these exotics is this car more owner friendly aside from the price tag?

thanks alot

My personal opinion is that there are much better, safer, and smarter ways to make money. The maintenance will kill you. Start out with a 911 or a Z06 if this is something you are interested in doing. To start off with a Gallardo is just shooting yourself in the foot...or head. You would go through a ton of clutches with the "unknown" driving it. Not a good idea.........

well i have thought about a 911 but they don't have the WOW factor. they are some great cars don't get me wrong i just need an attention getter. if i was going to buy an Gallardo it would be an E gear to acommendate for everyone who is to drive it. I'm really throwing ideas around right now. my heart and mind are with the automotive industry so i'm trying to come up with a way to make money in that field. i really havn't explored much into other ventures. I would like to see what else is out there so i can get my foot into the door but I'm surrounded by my 21-23 year olds that only care about who the're going to get laid by tonight. i don't know where to meet people that have been where i am and willing to show how they did it. I'm the idea person, i just need help making my ideas real.
