    Default Reliability and Maintenance Cost - Ferrari Vs. Lamborghini

    More specifically F430 vs. Gallardo...

    Reliability - I would take 150 to 300 mile trips with it on occasion

    Maintenance and repair cost - I would probably put somewhere around 8k miles a year on it, what would break and how much to fix it? Which has higher scheduled maintenance costs?

    I am a driver and would be putting a fair amount of miles on the car. I realize both are expensive to maintain and I should just buy a Porsche but exotics are fun. Thanks for the input.

    MTK has over 15K miles on his 2008 Scuderia. It has been on 2 Gold Rush Rallys, 1 Gumball Rally, multiple track days, and is on the original clutch! The man does not baby his car, and has no major issues with it!

    There is a member on this forum (doesn't post too much) that bought his LP560 back in November. He now has 14,500 miles on it and I'm pretty sure that he hasn't had any major issues. Between that and MTK's Scuderia good luck deciding

    A friend with a Gallardo egear has only done regular maintenance over the past year (~10k miles), I have done the same on my Viper.
