my main questions are... what do i look out for in the 2002 model???
i have heard ether 2002 or 2003 had some issues??

ok its killing me to say this..:bash:
i also need info on the murci e gear for that year...:biggerGrin:
but as i figure i always have the SV for my manual driving pleasure:grinning-smiley-003
thanx:wave:
I don't think there's any e-gear for 02 and 03. e-gear started on 04.
so if you want a murci with manual transmission, you'll be safe with any 02.
I'm looking for a murci too, would be great to know about the issues on 02-03.

Awesome, I hope you get it. Most people are sleeping now, but I'm sure when the morning comes some of the murci owners will help out with their experiences with those model years.:)

I believe zzzzdoc's Murci is '03 and hasn't had issues, I think he may be on vacation though, hasn't been online for a few days or more.

I have an 03 and haven't had any issues at all...13,500 miles so far and running like a champ (knock on wood)...I know Roy had over 25k miles on his 03 problem free...I'd go with an 03 over an 02 simply because I stay away from every first model year car for a variety of reasons. But, if you're going to paint the car white, and it will impact the resale value overall, an 02 will be the most cost effective way to do this.
Good luck and let me know if I can do anything to help out!
PS- that photo is from the Running of the Bulls 3 years ago...it was taken right after one of the Murcie's on the run flipped and caught on fire. My Diablo is in the very back of that photos and don't think can be seen....I actually have a very similiar photo since my co-pilot took several of them. The murcie in the pic (white) was custom ordered in that color combo...super nice guy that owns it.

UPDATE.....
went to see the car today, its a 2002, silver with a tint of very light blue eterior, and red interior. the car has 13000 km's, and one owner car. 3000 km's on the new clutch.
there are some small chips in the clear coat. but thats understandable in the front end of a lambo. one of the side skirts was recently replaced becouse it was damaged... other than that car is perfect..
im having my tech chek it out in the next few days.. but the deal is prety much done...
what color is this car?? sort of looks like the murci that al bertoni had with the god father logo.. remember that one?
Hope everything works out well for you. And we expect lots of pics when you get it

I have an 02 pearl orange coupe and love it . Thats my baby . I bought it with about 4k miles on it as a 1 owner car b4 me . Did the exhaust and thats it . So worth it if you pick up a stock 1 . Especially the pipes , looks & sounds much meaner now , as a Lambo should in my book . I have heard the storys as well with the early year murcis and i am happy to say i have had not 1 problem ( knock on wood ) . I am now at about 10k miles since march 07 and have loved every inch of those miles . Best of luck to you and your hunt for your car . If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask me as i am more than willing to be any assistence i can . And you are right there is nothing like a manual trans.

update..
deal didnt go through, the owner upped the price for some reason.. and i backed out ...becouse of the principle of the deal
but i found a manual 03 i will chek out tomorow... lucky me

sorry to hear that one didn't go through. Sounds like they got greedy, so screw em!

yess gready.. becouse some one asked about it when i was inspecting the car... so he thought there was demand for him to up the price... thats just stupid... and no way to deal..
the good side of the story the 2003 im cheking out today has full service history, one owner car. and he is selling to upgrade to a LP640..
i am prety confident this is the one... oh and its manual
maybe the 02 deal falling through was a blessing in disguise? now you get an 03 with full history etc.
sounds like a better deal to me. Good luck! keep us updated.

Murcies 03 are very good and reliable , make sure you check the shocks are ok and not leaking (car has 6 - 2front and 4 back , each is $2500). That is a common and expensive problem also there are some cars that have some problems with the TCS (traction Control) they seem to always turn it on. Make sure the front lift works because its very handy. if the car is close to 10,000 miles a new clutch should be there all ready.
My car is an 2003 (November 2003 build)with 13,000 miles and runs perfect , no issues.
Good luck

09-27-2007, 08:43 PM
why are clucthes going out in these cars less than 10,000 miles.i have seen some as early as 3000 miles?is it all because of the driver or its just the deisgn of the system going through them fast.

guess who is the proud owner of a 2003 black exterior, red lp640 stich interior.

the owner ordered it that way becouse he wanted it to look like the bently arnage.. who would have thunk it:biggerGrin:
the car has a few unique things on it.. it had these little vents in the side of the front bumper.. i like it, its not too much...
it also has a ( and get this) SV engine cover. non working ofcourse..
its wierd im not sure about it. but we will see the work is tip top...

Very Nice Car!!!!!!
TCS will be ok if it turn off eventualy , TCS fault is when everytime you give some gas you see the light coming on and flashing. It is very anoying.
If the engine revs idle a lot its beacuse they need to clean the throtle bodies , it is a 1 hour labour at the most.
Congrats again with the Murcie
abunawafff
09-28-2007, 11:46 PM
thanx dave, i never knew there was a photo gallery section.
and thanx microboby for the good advice, i was also informed by the previus owner about the throtle bodies...
i still havent realy taken her out for a drive.. but i took her off the trailer my self...
first thing i noticed diffrence between murci and diablo is that the gass pedal is soo much lighter in the murci..
also while backing up, my diablo i never used the gass pedal to back up, it was mainly chlutch and brake.. the murci inst like that... am i right?

Congrats Abuna! She is a freaking beaut! The clutch in the Murci is definately lighter than in the Diablo. The Diablo I drove felt like a freaking tank lol!
definitely a beauty... lucky...

thanx...:beerchug:
i was talking about the gas pedal.. diablo V Murci..
also i think you tryed the very hard early diablo clutches..
any way i guess this diffrence in driving experiance is becouse my Diablo SV has the short shift gear....

I see this owner has done a lot of custom work to this car. The badges look stuck on and you should have them removed! :D
Are the scoops at the top functional or purely just for aesthetics? You should get a group shot of your lambos!
Congrats!

It appears they are there to keep the third brake light cool. :)

ok what do you guys think of the HAMANN wing and end pipes.. they offer for the LP roadster??? i want to order them for my car... mainly the end pipes... feed back please:beerchug: :Musique52:
abunawafff
10-03-2007, 02:39 AM
i remember Harry saying once that his 212 motoring was a dealer of Hamman part??
any one have a good source for these parts???
thanx in advance... guys
talk lambo has been the most help with me getting used to the new murci....
Abunawafff, big congrats on the murci. Gorgeous! I actually quite like that aftermarket engine cover. So much for a rear view mirror :lol2:
Definitely a MUCH better setting. I spy a Maybach in that background ;)

congrats.....i have a suggestion. do you still have the original engine cover? if you don't, it would be helpful to get it so you can switch back and forth for various looks depending on your mood. besides, if you choose to sell it someday, the next owner might want it. again, beautiful car....i like it alot.

thanx guys.. yess thats the maybach, i still dont know how all the gadjets work on that car.. but it drives incredibly well for such a big car.. its parked that way ( taking up 2 spaces) becouse even the short mayback is too big for all size parking...
tom .. i was thinking the same thing.. but im afraid that this hood with the scoops is the original. he had it moded.. but i remember an after market transperent hood like the lp 640's one. not sure wich tiuner but there is one...
