  1. I guess we know the market price now. When you find a car you like you need to move on it in my opinion. The car is for you and no one else. Make yourself happy and don't worry about price opinions.
  2. Again, it is stunning and will bring big coin. Just work your best deal and buy it. You will be very happy I'm sure. Offer 20k less and work your way up from there. Its for sale so you guys will be able to work something out. Opinions are useless on a car you want and love. I love it! I have no dog in the hunt but I say pay your lowest worked out price and get it in your garage. If you think you are paying too much, who cares. They are holding big value and I think the bottom has already arrived. Most cars that went up crazy have come back to a stable resting point in my opinion. A 99 Roadster is super rare, How many are for sale? Jump on that beauty!
  3. I think off topic issues on a car forum are not for me. None of this is very fruitful in the long run. No minds will change, aggression forms, Lol I will just stick with the Lamborghini machine.
  4. Take it right back where it all got rebuilt. Virtually impossible to troubleshoot with the info given. I know there is a learning mode that it can be put in. Techs can do it for sure.Was yours ever done? Disconnect the power to the battery for a few minutes. Reconnect and drive it for 10 minutes or so. It may fix itself.
  5. 40% for those miles is awesome. Someone really knew how to baby it if that is the original clutch. Most of the wear comes off new clutches in the first 5k miles. 60-70% left in the first 5k is normal so only 60% wear on that car is outstanding. I would have a tough time buying a car with those miles from a non Lambo dealer that knows how to completely go through the car and make it right. Michael at Norwood is the top two Lambo Techs in the nation in my opinion so Let him do your PPI if he hasn't already and you will be good. He worked for Lambo Dallas 15 years.
  6. I love the marble look! I had all the carbon on my Huracan clear coated instead of the mat and it looks like this. That's all they did. Not saying it looks better than weave but it looks very high end and classy.
  7. +1 Those gaskets typically look like that on the outside but aren't leaking. No 02 sensor after them so don't bother with it unless you hear a leak when it is running.
  8. If its Lambo Dallas it will be a solid car for sure. Bought 9 cars from them in the past 14 years. Perfect experience every time.
  9. I agree. I would not worry about it. Call them and discuss the history. Most of those cars had manual trans so that is not so rare that it would move the mark much. Standard wheels. Miles look good. Looks pretty nice.
  10. Don't believe everything you see...
  11. Socialized medicine is very complicated and a lot of good doctors are not interested in having their income controlled by the government. No Thanks for me. Logic by itself screams that it sucks.
  12. For everyone of these statements I can find a Canadian that says it is terrible.
  13. She said she drank 24 beers "tonight", not every night....
  14. Sounds nice as long as you guarantee it to work. I found sitting electronics go bad much quicker than working ones.
  15. Lets see, variable timing for cams (big technology btw) verse standard timing, fixed headlights vs pop up and major instrument panel change. Like I said big difference between the two and the price reflects it. The 99 will always command a bigger price in my opinion. Most think the instrument panel is much nicer that the previous cars and it is pre 6.0. Not knocking your car if you have a pre variable timing but it is a noticable horsepower difference and it will always top the previous years in value. Love that car in silver btw. Also love the wheels. Just one persons opinion : )
  16. This same car? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-Lamborghini-M...vId&vxp=mtr
  17. Sure, the cars with mileage and other concerns that were priced with the ones that did not have those concerns. That's not the market dropping that's cars being adjusted to what they were or are worth. I know you are hoping and there is nothing wrong with that and you can justify just about anything to talk the market down so it will come down because you are a buyer. Its not a buyers market. That is clear. Good luck.
  18. This is exactly what I mean. Chipster has been around so sound advice for sure. Apples to apples is the key when comparing.
  19. Sounds great! Go find that 175k Blu Scuro rdstr he was talking about and jump on it. Sounds nice! Hey, opinions vary so mine is just one. Get a solid inspection done at a reputable shop first. Sometimes the 170 car jumps to 210 or more to get it right. Ask me how I know and get some real knowledge on this board and others.
  20. Why don't you start a poll of Lambo owners, current and old to see how your numbers look. The market jumped a couple of years ago by 40-50% . Testarossas that could be bought for 60-70 went to 150 and they are selling for 120 now. 6.0's that were 170-180 jumped to 290-300 according to mileage and are selling at that for very nice ones. Of course there is the 230k car. haha. I know what they wholesale for and retail so I don't know where you are getting your info. Dealers will never tell you the honest number that their car sold for and owners will not either for the better part so keep that in mind. The OP needs to buy the car that suits him and not worry about that special deal on that one diablo with the lower price you are talking about that probably needs 20k worth of service. There are much more knowledgeable people than me but I have owned and sold many. Check your numbers out with the many on this board. You might be surprised. They don't make them anymore and the nice ones are few. There will always be the 150 or 175k car that is worth exactly that but nothing compared to the 225-250 car of the same model and year. Just my two cents based on real experience. Best of luck in your Diablo search! You might wait it out to see if the economy tanks. That will put them back again hopefully. I'm living today myself not for the future hope. Hey I don't even buy green bananas after the heart scare I had this wknd. I know how exciting it was when I bought my first so enjoy it brother.
  21. Big difference between a 97 and a 99. Who is "we"? lol . Do you own a Lambo?
