Gallardos are actually pretty reliable. Its essentially the same car as the R8 V10 so parts are interchangeable. Not so sure about the Mclaren

Some of those prices are so high because of Dealership tax. If you have your maintenance done by an independent shop that knows what they are doing it costs the same to maintain a Gallardo as it would taking your BMW to the BMW dealership for service
Yeah Lambo a bad example since they dig into the VW parts bin. I know for others though it can get very expensive very quickly. Looked at a Maserati which isn't even in the league we are talking and my memory is a little fuzzy but think the 25k service was almost $20k.
