I'm sure this will sound like I am a dick...but couldn't you just do the same survey for Gs that you just did for Ferraris and look at the major sites advertising sales?

 

I'm not sure why this would surprise you in any way. Low miles are the norm on all supercars for several reasons. There is no need for a survey, simply look at some of the bigger exotic car dealer websites and check the mileage on their "for sale" cars.

Almost nobody uses any supercar as a daily driver. The Gallardo isn't any different. It simply isn't practical. Lack of seating, cargo space, etc. I would never go grocery shopping in my Lambo. Assuming I don't get hit by any rogue carts, other morons in the crowded parking lot there, etc. there is almost zero room to stow the groceries. Most people also don't drive these cars in heavy rain or snow either for good reason.

This is not unique to Lambo, Ferrari, or any other supercar.

I put 1100 on my Spyder last year and I live in Southern California, where it is sunny most of the year. Numbers like this are not uncommon from other Lambo owners i've encountered.

 

One year doesn't lend itself to find an average, but for me, it was 9,000. In central PA... and Northern VA... and DC... and MD.... well, now I guess it makes sense!

I'm sure it won't be half of that this year, but I was like a 14 year old with his first Playboy ... just had to show and tell.

 

I've had my Gallardo for over 2 years and averaging about 7500 miles per year...almost exclusively weekend driving.

 

I put on 3850 in 4 years in Honolulu.

 

That is a lot for honolulu!

 

About 2000 mi per year. Back when I owned a couple Ferrari's 10 yrs ago the average owner then put 2-3K/yr on them.

 

As MUCH as I possible can...because I am sure they wont let me drive my coffin in Heaven...:wave:

 

Thanks for the replies guys.

I love Roys's reply!

The point of my post was that I suspect (but have no data to know for sure) that Lambo owners average more than 2K miles per year on their Gallardos. I average about 5K Miles/year. The G seems more driveable than an F car, and that is why I suspect that they see more miles. Anecdotally, they seem to see 2-3x as many miles. (on the average).

@JustHayes
The Dupont Registry organized everything nicely, and it was easy to spot the trend with F cars. That is not the case with Gallardos. It is only trivia, so not worth my time or anyone elses to research. Just making an interesting observation.

 

put mine 3500 miles per year at average mainly on straight and my DD at 7500 miles a year.

 

I put about 800 a month on it.

 

Last year put about 7000 on. This year might be less now that I have the Z06. My goal is to drive the Lambo AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Just sold our SL55 but it was getting about 5000/year until we bought the Lambo - then it dropped to about 2500 last summer.

I put 2500 on Z06 since getting it in mid-Feb.

 

On my 04 G, I put 15k miles in one year.

On my 08SL, I plan on being a bit more conservative and try to stay sub 10k/year.

 

What color did you get?

I've managed to put 4k on mine since October.

 

I've managed about 6000 per year, despite about 8 months of downtime. I'd drive it a LOT more if fuel wasn't so expensive

 

I'm probably alone on this but I dont ever waste miles for just the sake of driving. Every mile to me special and I really look forward to it. I never want to lose that special feeling. For me it is just for pleasure. Keeping it special works for me.

 

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

I never waste miles either. I drive JUST to drive it, and every moment in the car is special whether I have a destination in mind, or not. Sometimes (if hubby is along) I might run into the grocery store or do a quick errand. I'd do them ALL in the lambo if I could but it's just not possible.

To me - driving it for ANY reason ANY time is an event. I don't "save" it for particular reasons. If I can drive it - I will - and I'll savor every moment To me - the Lambo is ALL pleasure !
