Lamborghini Gallardo currently getting worked on at my shop. It is sitting in my bosses bay who owns the giant yellow Snap on tool box. Thought it was a cool pic.  |  |  | | 06-16-2008, 05:03 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Damascus, Maryland Posts: 434 |

Now the whole rear end has been disassembled because when the owner bought the car he was told that both CATS were hollowed, but that was definitely not true because only 1 of them were. I'll take a pic of the rear in pieces tomorrow and show you guys. It is a sweet car overall. I went underneath and the engine only has 1 belt that runs the crank pulley and alternator. The p/s pump and a/c compressor are both driven by the transmission with little shafts from each component linking to the tranny. Also, to do an oil change on this car you have to take off both of the intake manifolds to get to the housing, so it definitely will not cost $50 to do an oil change on this car, more like a couple hundred. | | | | | 06-16-2008, 05:35 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 |

This older lady actually came in last Thursday in her 2007 Aston Martin Vantage to check out the Gallardo. She wants to buy it. | | | | | 06-16-2008, 05:36 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

If you can afford a Gallardo though chances are the maintenance is just a drop in the bucket to you. Probably nothing compared to the service costs on your Lear Jet and the payments on your private island. __________________
