    I am thinking about going over to the "DARK SIDE'' and I need help. I have owned a few exotics but never a Lambo and have done some research but would like some owners advice. I am looking at at an 02, yellow, 15,000 miles, 6 speed of course, two owners, and service records. I will appreciate any advice,what to look for, warnings. what would be a fair price, or how much fun I will have on the DARK SIDE !!!!!!

    What's up with the "dark side" stuff?

    They're all just cars, even Ferrari's ... :)

    ............................................................................yes but we like to poke fun at them, since they are so different like the anti-Ferrari its like joining the dark side . I think he would like the difference and be amazed at the Lamborghini experience .

    I passed on one for 99k last year.

    Seemed like a good deal, but I too wasn't to familar with the Murci market.

    If you want one of the cleanest first-gen Murci's available drop me a PM. I'm considering putting mine up on the market (2003 Arancio Atlas, 14k miles, all 15k service work done, new Corsa tires, LP640 Hermera gloss black wheels, new pads, Larini exhaust and tons more).

    I know of a PERFECT in every way Murci for sale with a fresh clutch, PM me if you are interested.
    If you are set on the car you mentioned

    -HAVE A PPI DONE
    -Do a car fax
    -Clutch life
    -Fluid leaks
    -Shocks
    -Door locks and window operation
    -Paint/body work
    -Insturment cluster operation (known to be a problem in the earlier production cars)
    -Brake life (parts are expensive)
    -Ac system (compressors leak often)

    I am on my second Murci, if you buy a well maintained one you will LOVE the experience of ownership.

    Best of luck

    So is this considered the going rate for good condition cars with miles in the teens?

    I'm contemplating a purchase of something....
