All the research I've done in talking to Lambo owners, including a close personal friend is that Lambos since the late Diablos are very reliable, with the Gallardo being extremely reliable. They are not like early exotics where you need your best friend to be a mechanic. Murcis are supposed to be about as reliable as a Gallardo, just higher maintenance costs. Ferraris on the other hand, save possibly the most recent years, are very fragile, at least this is what I've been advised. Same friend who has owned both tells me the Lambo is a true bull where the Ferrari is a fragile pony

Best realistically priced used exotic car? Aston Martin V8 Vantage

You can pick up an extremely low mileage one for under $70K easily.



Gorgeous looks, incredible exhaust note, solid performance....exceptionally rare

Maintenance isn't too bad since the engine is based on a Jaguar engine. R8 V10's are still going to have relatively high maintenance costs, Lambo-esqe V10...

The AMs are pretty, I wonder how reliable they are?

Love Aston's so sexxxxyyyyy. New fav is the Jaguar F-Type hot looking, but V-8 is 100 thousand dollar car.

The new Huracan is about 1/4 mil. A very used Ferrari might be had for $100,000. Neither have the dealer network of Audi.

Audis are very understated in their designs. But that is what I love about my S4.

Don't get me wrong, my $100 grand would be going to a new Z06.

But don't think you are getting a new Lamborghini or Ferrari for the same price. Not even close.

Yea, Audi's are my favorite non American car brand . I love the S5's and hope to have one by my camaro. But all of the Audi's are eye catching.

I think they're sweet rides. Saw one this morning at C&C and it still turns heads and draws attention.
