Allan-Herbie Report post Posted May 2, 2015 Interesting on the Anniversary model. That average seems a little low to me. I think its spot on from what Ive seen. Someone created a false hoopla on another board surrounding the car for their own personal gain. Appart from that, for the most part it is the least desirable Countach with a steady stream of inventory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koenig928 Report post Posted May 2, 2015 Hagerty is the best guide out. They are usually fairly accurate, but still on some can be a month or two behind. One of the things that makes them more accurate is they use their own insured value data. But its correct to say the anni inventory is pretty high these days.

koenig928 Report post Posted May 2, 2015 The last anni carb was way over priced. Be interesting to know what it did sell for. Carb too me doesn't carry a high premium, even in rare numbers. But I guestimate an anni to be worth $300k to $380k retail these days. 9 or so for sale currently and they are not fetching the high asking prices.

Peter K Report post Posted May 3, 2015 Yeah, the 25ths, it's sometimes a crap shoot and tough to understand why some sell for they're own price. This was yesterday: THE ANDREWS COLLECTION 2 May 2015 Lot 192 1990 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary To be auctioned on Saturday, May 2, 2015 showing 1,240 kilometers from new Without Reserve Sold for $451,000 Chassis no.

koenig928 Report post Posted May 3, 2015 The thing about the major public auctions is they are not wholesale, they are high to above retail venues. Very low kilometers, equals premium price. In the real world, with no auction pressure to win the bid, these cars can loose some value. $450k is high retail ask on these. They will be worth over $450k, just not in this cycle. Next 5 years and next cycle we'll see anni's trading over $500k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering they are one of the largest collector car insurers around... They know what their clients are paying on newly acquired vehicles... And what their agreed upon valuations are... If anything, their valuations may be on the low side given their interests. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, their valuations may be on the low side given their interests. Think I said in the first post Hagerty is the most accurate because they use their own agreed values and auction results. I do believe they are a little low on anni's. Some are trying for over $400k now, but don't see those selling at those prices. The Cats Exotics anni in white has been at $344k something for awhile now, its not selling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koenig928 Report post Posted May 4, 2015 The 88 has been off their site for about a month. $750,000 was a little strong for the car. Would be curious to know how much they sold it for or if it was a consignment and the consignor took it back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont really want to sell it, every time someone offers near their asking price, they raise the price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koenig928 Report post Posted May 4, 2015 Interesting. Does Ogara own more and are trying to raise the prices overall? There is two anni's offered by Canepa, both have been for sale awhile now. Be interesting to know what they are asking for them, like Ogara, they usually ask nose bleed pricing. This one is also interesting: http://silverarrowcars.com/inventory/1988-...ach-lp5000s-qv/ sort of local to me, short ferry boat ride away. Its been for sale awhile as well. They are asking $429,000 U.S. for it. It seems over $400k and all versions seem to sit on the market. Under $400k and in the low $300k they sell fast.

With all the hype, which I don't buy, I'm surprised Roy's car hasn't sold and he's having to take it to auction. So who's increasing their agreed values based on these updates?

toyroy2003 Report post Posted May 4, 2015 Well, I just picked this one up today........... RARE but there still out there! Just picked up this 1988 Lamborghini Countach with ONLY 2108 MILES from NEW!! ONLY 2 owners, 1st one till 2009. All books, tools, documents INCLUDING ORIGINAL MSRP Window sticker, import papers, MSO document. So lets start thinking whats it worth? Torn on if its worth spending $20K to put the Euro bumpers on it, front and rear....will you get that back int he swelling price..OR IS IT so Original and low miles, leave it the way it is and let the next owner decide??

Redlambo Report post Posted May 4, 2015 Roy Although the additional $20K on the sale price wouldn't likely be a deal breaker with the current values these cars are bringing. I would keep it as is and let the buyer decide what they want to do with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlambo Report post Posted May 4, 2015 Going back to current market values and insurance coverage. What would happen if you suffered a catastrophic loss due to fire and the car is a total loss? You had owned it for a dozen years and you kept increasing the coverage as the cars value continued to rise. For all intent purposes the car was insured for $400,000.00 however your total costs of ownership only add up to $100,000. If you purchased another similar car with the funds you receive from a settlement it is straight forward. However I would imagine if you decided to take the check one would be subject to capital gains correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzvillage Report post Posted May 4, 2015 So there are people out there who like the big bumpers then? interesting. I am getting mine back this week with the whole Euro look modification, if that is Ok, I will post some pictures, I would like to get some feedback if this job was done right, thank you in advance!
