Costs of owning a urus?
Discussion
I’m planning on selling all of my cars, and summer next year buying a urus after wanting one for years.
Whenever I’ve spoken to someone with one, they act like you have to be a multi millionaire to own one. Obviously I know this isn’t the case, I’ve run a GT3 RS which is similar value on a salary of just over 6 figures.
I’ve googled over and over, but unable to find some figures for extended warranty, servicing etc.
From my own quotes, I’m working out with £40k deposit I’ll be paying around £1350/pm on a £168k car. They seem pretty depreciation proof currently, but I’m hoping they’ll drop a bit by next year to save me some money.
Any other costs owners/ex owners can throw my way would be greatly appreciated. I don’t like to just jump into things without doing research, and the Lamborghini dealers I’ve called haven’t had much to say about it whatsoever.

No real dramas is probably the reason for lack of info as much of the technology is shared with the SQ8. Certainly much cheaper than running other Lambos.
Did think as much, it’s mainly the extended warranty and servicing I’d like to get rough figures on. The 600LT is £3.5k a year, I believe. It'll cost you your dignity. 
I don't know what the perception of them are in the UK but even in the middle east they're driven by a certain type. Typically they will have very loud yet incoherent paint and interior schemes, heavily modified, a lot revving while stationary and full lunch at every set of lights.
I can imagine objectively they're very capable but I don't why anyone would have one of these over a gtc4 or if you must have a super SUV the DBX is a lot more elegant.

Actually most of them are in sober colours in the UK, and park one of those in your high street and virtually no one notices what they are imo..
Cars currently come with 3yr warranty and 4yr servicing, warranty extension is possible I’m guessing but it must be around £3-4k/yr. Servicing must be around £1k small £2k large, however they’re really reliable with no major issues afaik.
You’ll be changing tyres every 8k miles on average on the 23” wheels, tyres aren’t cheap imo
Otherwise they’re a great drive, very versatile, and the tech is good.. Parking the car with your phone is a great party trick, if it’s been optioned, but useful if you’re in a narrow spot and door access is limited. Hth.

I’d personally buy a RSQ8 and a 650S spider for the same money
I was quite surprised at how they are virtually identical when I got into a friends RSQ8, in fact I prefer the material and finishes on the Audi, it's more high tech and solid feeling. I believe the Audi is around 40% of the price these days. There is a 50bhp discrepancy which I wouldn't notice unless you told me, the Audi certainly doesn't hang around. The Urus has enjoyed glacial depreciation for the first few years but I suspect that is not going to remain the case.cgt2 said:

It’s mechanically identical underneath to a Urus the only difference is the software it runs for the same components.The only differences are, exhaust has resonators which urus doesn’t and urus has narrower front wheels and wider rear wheels for more oversteer.
The urus also has carbon body panels with a more swept roofline so less space.
So they are different but what is underneath is identical, from turbos, intercoolers, etc the chat about Lamborghini version is just the software it’s running which gives a different feel.
Same with the latest version including performante only real change is a new diff like RS6 got and perf also has different suspension, no updates mechanically at all, just software and styling.
First things first
One thing to take on board is that they are not holding their money now. Last week i was offered both an S and a Perf at list brand new from the dealer network being physical cars. Second hand cars have also dropped significantly
Lots of cars coming through and many of the salesmen’s customers cough cough friends now trying to get out of them as the premiums have gone.
Also the Urus has become the 3 Series of the Lamborghini Brand, initially supply could not keep up with demand. One model was available with 2 seat configurations.
Since the model update there is now plenty of stock and an increase in variants. Deposits for the Hybrid taken and no doubt soon an additional variants will come similar to the numerous variants that have evolved for other models
As for the cars, they are an extremely useable daily with the reliability of Audi to boot.
As mentioned by many yes its near as dammit an RSQ8 but its not when you get down to the detail
If you want to save the money then get an RSQ8 get an Urban Body Kit and take it to DMS Automotive.
However its sounds like you want the Urus ?
Many of the earlier 2019/20 cars came with 5 year service packages and i dont think we have therefore seen true owner costs or complaints as the dealers will have just been doing whats needed and claiming via the service package.

Worst case scenario you will be looking at over £40k to replace all the brakes, pads and tyres...
lol where do you pluck this from?its like people who scaremonger about mclarens

Put close to 30000 miles on my old one from new and all it needed was a set of front pads (and I’m sure that was the usual dealer try on but couldn’t be bothered to check) at around £1k.
Tyres are lumpy but can be found at circa £2k all round as as other posters have said won’t last any more than 8000 miles.
I actually missed brakes of the mechanical differences above, Urus has 20mm larger ceramics than the Audi. For all the track work you boys do…
I’ve only ever seen one used properly hard on the road once and that was chasing a Lambo test driver down a mountain. We had to stop before the bottom because they were on fire, he had an extinguisher ready but not needed. The Huracans and Aventadors not really sweating hard on the same stretch. But desperate that amazing performance from the Urus. In terms of performance I also remember on a long straight with a couple of SV roadsters (roof off which is interesting at speed!), Urus nailed it and the others got after him with about a car length jump and it took until 180 to catch and pass.
I would be very surprised if most even need pads in 20k from road use and definitely not discs in unless it’s a mega mileage.

RSQ8 will depreciate a lot more. The true cost with the neglible depreciation makes them a pretty safe choice.
I have had a few RSQ8 to use and run for a while before the Urus. The Urus does feel quicker, does feel more special, the noise is miles better. They also drive much nicer in my opinion.
I bought brand new @ list price 18 months ago and am still in profit if I sell it. Worst case would be money back.
Tyres around £2k to change. Have worn pretty evenly. Only thing I found is that the Urus I have had more punctures in this car than any other car I have ever owned. I think its the super soft sticky tyres picking up debris and nails rather than flinging stuff away. That is the only thing I can put it down to.
Urus is quick, it does turn heads now and again and people point and mouth Lambo but mostly under the radar. Mine is black so certainly less noticeable than the bright colours. Also even the Alderley Edge car spotters don't bother to photo it when going past as they are fairly common as far as Lambos go.
