Supercars come with super repair costs! CAR WIZARD tries to keep costs down on this '03 Murciélago 

If you keep up with these it’s not one huge bill, it’s a bunch of smaller huge bills 😅

i agree with mrs wizard, the gated shifter is a magnificent centerpiece to the center. thanks wizard for showing us all the cool little quirks that make this murcy so special! this one was a banger

I last visited your channel when you had under 50k subs, I just got this on my feed after picking Hoovie back up and wowww I'm so amazed at how far you've come on RU-vid, Wizard! :) Thanks for everything you do for the love of motoring, I wish to be like you one day.

The Wizard is a smart man. Does not tackle jobs he isn't comfortable with. Sign of a great mechanic.

For me the hypest part about this murci was seeing y’all opening the door and that sexy ass gated shifter sheesh 👌👌🔥

Dear Wizard, you probably did already but please double check the clearance of the window when fully opened and the speaker magnet. You wouldn’t be the first to miss that sometimes manufacturer’s need to use very shallow neodymium speakers because of the little clearance in the door. I usually try to match the original depth or shallower.

Can't say the exotics are my thing, but that is a beautiful car. It is nice seeing someone giving her the attention it needs.

Hertz Audio also makes orange speakers and they are really high quality, I use them in my Alfa Romeo 916 Spider

As long as the speakers were still working you could contact Simply Speakers and buy a refoam kit for way less than you paid for those AudioBanks. Their kits include everything you need along with instructions. They have a video showing how simple the process is.

I repair/restore vintage radios. There are companies that rebuild speakers. Such as replacing foam surrounds, readjusting the spider, new cone etc. I am glad you found an affordable replacement.

Being of middle Class and looking at This breath taking pieces of art, I'm starting to feel like a lowly Peon!! I ❤️ even own two antique Corvettes And still feel like a LOW-LIFE PEON"

Sounds like the customer really loves the car . If had the dough I would spend too. It ain't cheap but makes the car complete to be enjoyed.

Superb Lamborghini and it shows very well despite the little flaws it has but it's worth every penny spent on it (even more for being a gated manual). I bet we would all like a brief update video portion on it when all the work is finished

I enjoy your videos. Excellent advice and content. And I appreciate including your wife. Married 31 years myself. We wouldn't be the same without them.

One of those headlights are worth more than my entire car 🤯

Ms Car Wizard I hope you have the opportunity to read my comment" I'm always bragging on Mr Car Wizard, but you did a fabulous job Showing the exotic interior of that Breath taking interior of which most Of us, peon have never been fortunate to observe even from a distance...Ms Car Wizard thank you For Showing your viewers the inside Of that Lamborghini.....This time I'm giving you the praise...

Always a pleasure to watch Wizard!

gotta admit as someone who hates the murcies as they just didnt look that good when they first came out, plus I swear to god I saw Hoovies Interior in a Volkswaggen beetle once, the orange snap edition when they were new, but in this guise with this color, it actually looks nice, like this silver with a faint Champaign tint to it really makes it pop

The Luc Donckerwolke design is timeless. This was the last time the engine could trace its lineage all the way back to the Muira, and a reminder to us without the ££££ what these cost to keep in good order. Thanks for the vid

When it comes to speakers, it is not that easy to get something to sound as accurate as OEM. The original sound system has been tuned to work with the cavity design of this car. Just because you get a good brand of speakers does not mean they will sound better than OEM. Just something to keep in mind.

Thank you, Wizard and Mrs. Surprise, an expensive car with lots of gadgets, as my father would say with Radio, Power Windows, and AC, more to go wrong

The fact that the oem speaker was a one way with a whizzer cone (to try and pull some highs from the center cap) the owner will benefit greatly from a speaker with multiple drivers (and a crossover of some sort, even if its just a resistor) even if they are not the highest quality. money well spent here.

I remember going to the dealership with a former boss. Rich guy. He was looking to buy one, and I got to sit in it, rev it. Was amazing. I still love the way this car looks!

You know your the man, when people send you cars from all over the Country

I lived up in the Alpharetta and Atlanta area. Can't trust anyone up there. Glad to hear there is at least one good mechanic up there.

Cheaping out on the sound system on that beautiful car! 😂 Cheap speakers sound like garbage.

Definitely do a follow up video when the car is all put together.

That shifter is very nice, chef's kiss 👍

Those throttle bodies would look great, after vaporblasting with glass beads.

I had a 2005 Murcielago few years ago I had the dealer removed the headlights and gave them to me then I used a razor blade from a disposable to remove the lens so I can clean them and resealed them , let me tell ya it make the car that much nicer with crystal clear headlights.

13:25 I thought you’d come back with a set of Duals. I was pleasantly surprised.

You never disappoint Wizard! Loving the content!

Well, being you would like to grace us with the exhaust note, & we'd like that too, lol! Perhaps a nice short when the project is complete?? Thanx !

6:52 The pause after the Tyler quote...poor guy.

Expensive cars usually are expensive to maintain. I have talked to Lamborghini owners before and they have said that both the Countach and Jalpa had very simple engines that were easy to work on and maintain. The biggest problem was getting parts but you could do a lot of repairs yourself. The Murcielago and Aventador though aren't really that way. But, I imagine that this Murcielago is more reliable and costs less to keep on the road than a late model Mercedes with over 100,000 miles.

Rebuilding the hydraulic cylinders is really easy, it's just a matter of changing a couple o-rings.

The aftermarket speaker choice was a very wise choice.

If the tires are not uni-directional then yes rotate left to right. I did it on offset tire cars all the time.

Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Wizard! This was a fun one, checking out all the extremely spendy parts. Those cars are money in the bank right now! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

Thanks again wiz for a nother great video you and your wife are great content makers 😊

I’ve never thought I’m poor until Wizard mentioned the 8k head light.

I love Mrs Wizards interior reviews, i think about as i get into my own car, and i keep it slightly cleaner! 😅

I would keep the original speaker. You can recone speakers

Looks like you do some restoration work on old exotic interesting cars as you have the resources like where to go to vendors to get them done! It's good you're getting into specializing in Italian cars repair and some restoration work. If I have old Italian interesting cars I would like to live close to your shop!

what a lovely car and well looked after by the looks of thing, dont think he spares and money to keep it looking so good

You could refoam the surround on the original speakers. Super easy

Even though these are cool cars, I cannot understand the desire to own one. Too much maintenance and headaches in my opinion. I had the pleasure of driving a Lamborghini at a car meet, thanks Don! It was a gallardo with the 5.2 and an automatic, but it was pretty cool. Definitely wasn’t as “special” as anticipated, which was both a relief and disappointment. I appreciate my C6 Z06 even more now, even though his Lamborghini did beat my car in a race. It was kinda close, about a 2 car gap from a low roll to 120~ish. The interior was leaps and bounds better than mine, but it becomes an afterthought after being in it for a bit. The touch points were SO MUCH BETTER than my car though. Also, driving characteristics were a lot different too, but I kind of liked the squirrely feel of the Z06 because it was more exciting.

thats a really nice color lambo , with the black accents. Very nice.

Brilliant specification (manual and in silver) and something I would like to own. Keep up the great work.

Hi Wizard, well with speakers it is usually sound that people go for. However in a Lamborghini you can never hear the sound system because of the engine noise. So in this case looks are more important. 😂😂😂😂

Love that color on the Murci.

Ebay speakers. In a lambo..Wow just wow..

Wizard forgot to mention about the twin calipers in the rear while talking about the rear twin shocks. Ik one of the caliper is for hand brake but still cool to see it got two just like some other super cars.

*_A bad ass car = bad ass costs. : ) I'm glad the owner actually drives this (as opposed to driving it once in a blue moon)._*

Magic Mike's speaker wizardry is like the sort of thing I would do... Except I would have used better speakers 🙂It does look great I hope they sound good and fit well

Yesterday I almost slammed into a truck that had blacked out tail lights. The turn signal was on, the brake lights were working, but they couldn't be seen when the sun was shining on them.

Murcielago is spanish for bat, which is fitting given that it has wings. Its also fitting because murcielago was the name of a famous fighting bull.

This is one of a few Lambos I actually like, still looks great after all these years

@10:08 Mrs. Wiz you're gripping that wheel incorrectly LoL thumb goes under the bump and squeeze gently ;)

You can spray cheap speaker cones if colour is important...t wont make much sonic difference in a car setup especially if there are separate tweeters...but refoaming is a doddle - online refoam kits are common

Imagine every time the car breaks, it costs $$$ thousands. No thanks. My 1983 911SC is very fun and bullet proof, 76K miles, starts, runs and drives like new. Yearly maintenance cost- $150 in oil changes thru the past 5 years. It was major tuned in 2017 ( valve adjust, gaskets, plugs, filters, etc.- only $1700.) Have not replaced anything in almost 6 years, only oil and filter changes.

Wizard thought the murci was assembled with front hood misaligned from factory. Just cant be, its a Lamborghini. There is a serious quality control and it was their halo car of the early 2000s. So yeah it got misaligned probably by some minor accident or rubber seals disintegrating or leaving track on one side orrr the metal bars holding the hood were loose on one side and moved a bit as mentioned.

What a great setup and color

Misaligned hood lines, smoked tailights, thawed out chicken in the front boot, leather pulling from exposure, creaking centre console, no paddle shifters, tinny speakers. One has to know a guy who is related to a guy and is related to a guy to repair the hydraulic shock absorber assemblies. Amazed people pay the money for these things.

BAT WINGS, all Lambo’s named after bulls. Lamborghini Murchialago is bull that was named after a bat. People call the deployed radiator intakes as Bat wings.

Here's a question for Leo - How in the world do you keep that engine bay so clean! I could eat off it.

Funding free health care is real expensive!

Thank you Mr. And Mrs. Wizard this was awesome.

Nice looking tractor. You look at any detail and it fits the whole, uncompromising design.

You can rotate those wheels from side to side because the tires aren't directional.

Those headlights are not $8k!! There were $8k, but Lambo raised the price to $17k and $18k for left and right.

Never trust a grab-bar (Oh 💩 handle). I dumped it into second from highway speeds when my brother was looking out the side window and he just tore it off.

Need deep pockets to keep these babies going!

One of the transitional model for lamborghini

Lambo likes to use cheap parts from other cars. Their v12 throttle bodies are from a v70 volvo 2.5t. The lambo branded one is 1600 and the volvo one is 160. Do ya research and dont get scammed!

I'm happy with my 2013 Malibu 👍

Beautiful car

A vet and an air medal winner. In TX you get free registration along with that plate.

Here I am trying to justify buying a 6spd pre-LP Gallardo,, but a 6spd Murcielago is the dream. They pretty much cost as much as a used Aventador these days. Only thing I don't like about it is the interior, but must be a blast to drive.

That's one beautiful machine

beautiful car but wow, that gauge cluster is underwhelming

The giveaway with the aftermarket speaker is the exposed glue on the cone.

Hey wizard. Just started the video any van videos coming? Thanks keep up the great work.

So you wait until the weather finally becomes nice to send your Lamborghini to sit on jacks and wait weeks/months on parts/rebuilds? Guess they know the secret to success that I don’t.

It's Da Wizard I love the channel man 👍🏽💯💯

Why the miss matched tires? Also the wider rear tire is more for handling than putting power down.

My Maserati goes 185,I lost my license so now I don't drive.I have a limo and ride in the back,I lock the doors in case I'm attacked.Life's been good to me so far!

I luv the Merci! Give it your Magick, Wiz!

Is that an LP640 or earlier? It looks like an early Murcielago. Definitely a gorgeous example. After reading lower down this is pre LP640 - similar to the one Tavarish restored.

I'm liking my Ferrari 348 more and more. OK, not the performance of the Lambo, it does a mere 178 mph, but you get the looks and in 5 years it has cost me less in maintenance than my Mercedes CLS. Oh, and the headlights cost $500, not $8,000.

That's a funny looking Fiero body kit - 2D

Hah! It's got a "holy shit! handle". A real one! None of that roof mounted Granny crap but an actual holy shit handle!

Not your Quick Lube type car. Italy's beloved by far. Work of Art. Nitro Joe.

Clearly I was made to drive a car like my 12-year-old Honda, and no Lamborghini except maybe a tractor…

If you contact koni they rebuild her shocks.

Awesome video!!

You have no idea how excited I was once I saw it was an 03

Leo has a guy for everything !!

Great episode..I know you love exotics ,but a lot of us that watch have Camaros. Please don't put down Camaros, Mr. Wizard Mr. Wizard mr wizard pound pound pound Mr. Wizard wizard Mr. Wizard.

No lumbar support on those seat backs, could be very tiring
