599GTO vs Murci SV

The SV will maintain it's value pretty well over the long term. Can't see it going up significantly. IMO the frothy fever prices of ferraris have gone up on the tail end of the classics. Ferrari have a lot of race pedigree, limited number bodies etc that make things rare and desirable. Not sure if Lambo have the same that will prop up the market of all the models.

 

i wouldnt, unless u like easy to drive cars.

SV certainly more rare, and i think more exciting(difficult) to drive.
from lambocars.com:
Murciélago LP670-4 Super Veloce 186 Limited edition of 350 units, but rumor has it only 186 were built
Murciélago LP670-4 SV China Edition 10 Limited edition of 10 units sold in China only

if i were u, i get both, i just know it was a sad day when this was sold :

Both together would be a great combination, as I think they would complement each other.

Diabo prices are on the uptick, with the market seeming to favor the rarer models. Murcielago may follow in the future?

I would keep both.

 

Difficult decision. I would keep the SV.

 

GTO will be worth more even though there is no real reason for it to be.

Look at Countach prices and rare Diablo prices, then look at GTO prices. GTO prices are already probably higher than the majority of Lamborghinis ever made. That should tell you something.

 

What are the terms of the loan? If you can prepay with no penalty, maybe you take the loan, have both, and go from there. The "brain damage" from setting up the loan and paying it off, should you decide, is probably less than the trouble you'd go through reacquiring your (or similar) Lamborghini.

 

Auto loans don't have prepay penalties as far as I know.

 

Not sure where in the world you are but anywhere in the west the near zero interest rates make loans a no brainer as long as you can cover payments with ease.

 

The GTOs ARE in a bubble, if that is your question. However, specially if you are in the US, the rarity of the car and the NAME has ALREADY made it a collectible item.

You should have bought it a year ago and you'd have already made a 30% profit at least.
BUT the increase has started since some months ago only. I'd say December 2014 was the starting point.

So it's only 5 months in right now. You can still gain. PLUS, as already said, they are LIMITED EDITIONs, so they will ONLY appreciate, if low mile and well kept.

Have no doubt on this. SO, if u are buying it as an investment, go for it. Cause, in the LONG run, these cars are going to the million. Maybe a decade, but they are.

 

I can't comment on whether the Murci SV will increase in value as IMHO its utter speculation. FWIW I also feel the same way about our GTO's. I can say that if you like a raw challenging fabulous sounding driver the GTO is THE perfect modern steed. There is NOTHING else available for under a $1M USD that can compete with the GTO's myriad of outstanding qualities. In fact I honestly can't think of a car for even $1M that would fill its shoes. Whether the market values the extreme personality of the GTO is something that only time will tell. The Aventador SV just ran a crazy Ring time so you'd think that they'd sell like hotcakes. What I have found out as I have gotten a bit older is that stuff like Ring times and 0-60 times mean less and less. How your car makes you FEEL is what distinguishes it as special. Will a Murci SV, or an Aventador SV for that matter, make you feel special ? I candidly have no clue. I will say that I always feel special in the GTO. I still try to master her wild power band and extreme disposition but invariably fail. I'm just no good enough for the GTO. She coddles me and pushes me to be a better driver, but she can be very unforgiving if you don't respect her. If this kind of personality is what you seek then the GTO is your baby if not, then maybe looks elsewhere. I'm pretty sure that there are many more avid tifosi seeking this experience than experiences available. Meaning that IMHO the GTO will always be sought after by those of us who are seeking the MOST extreme driving experience. No turbos, no supercharger, no electric motors, no KERS, no AWD (like the Lambo SV's), act). The GTO despite its drivers aids is a very pure experience. Yeah i could go on and on haha guess I'd buy a 2nd GTO over a Murci SV AND an Aventador SV but thats just me. When you get your GTO please post a pic or two.

 

all the 12 cylinder limited edition values have shot through the top in the USA in the last 6 to 9 months.. so is it for real or not ... who knows if you like the car keep both maybe you make a few dollars but if you can accept the GTO falling back to the 500 range that they were at since they were new.. that is really all you are risking... will the GTO go from 700 to 1m maybe will it drop back to 500 maybe .. will it drop to 400 no way .. so you may have couple of hundred exposure ....
at least that what I tell myself....

 

The mods should put "Official GTO Ambassador" somewhere in your title. Love the posts every time the GTO comes up

 

I love Ferrari, but would take the Lamborghini over the 599.

 

I'd have both IMO.

 

got nothing to do in the office, so i'll argue over the internet

my gto is no big bull! The aventador with an exhaust is so great an experience that u need to drive one to understand. my gto is just another great ferrari, my scud is a great ferrari, my 458 spider is a great ferrari, most any new era ferrari is a great ferrari.
and most of my fcars are better than my gto in the all out mountain roads that i do my driving, i dont daily my fast cars.

i love my gto because its a gto. thats it. i dont care how valuable it is, i just drive it, and i want a gto, like i also want a laf that kind of thing.

my gto doesnt drive like a bad beast like my aventador or the 670SV, its smooth, its comfortable, its nice, ...... nothing like my crazy lambo. I cant even imagine how good the SV aventador is gonna be like.
At first, I used to think the aventador is zx!t, it drives like zx!t, shifts like hhz!t, goes like zx!t if u compare it to ur fcar. but if u drive the zh1!t out of it, u'll find its super awesome. I always call it a moving amusement park, it makes u happy and feel special, and makes everyone that saw u special and happy.
i can go on and on, but its a fcar forum, so i'll let it go, but u can daily a fcar, but u dont have a need to in a lambo, because u be exhausted.

Sure, the big lambos have more issues than the now semi-reliable ferraris, mine fail to start on several occasions when it thinks its too hot to start, i learn to love the antique slap in the head shifts, and the interior w/infotainment systems are much more enjoyable to spend time than any ferrari. The complicated audi spec A/C makes traffic time pass faster and more icy cold enjoyable to cool ur body parts.
U cant see out very well anyway, so they put a lot of buttons inside to play with, even the sound system is awesome relative to the gto's.

the big lambos like the aventador and the same goes for the 670 SV is on a planet of its own, everytime u go out, u will feel like ur handing out free magic mountain tickets to bystanders, it looks like nothing on earth, its crazy god loud, low flying, neck breaking gear changes, fire spitting exhausts, basically ur an alien superstar when ur in one, lil kids gawk at u, guys hate u, chicks wont admit they want u but they do....

while im always in the process of acquiring a second GTO, for its name sake, sure it drives like a tuned down XX which i will never know because i never driven one, but went to many XX shows, and trust me my gto dont look, sound, or feel anything like a XX when they flyby the pit wall with ur cute F1 ear muffles on (the BIG ones).

U can stand more GTOs because they are nice, smooth, and do what its told, but u cant stand 2 fire spitting aventadors U'll need illegal drugs to cope with that, preferably something powdery.

+1 on your post about Tortesq1!

 

There are very very few posts that crack me up. I'm in an airport lounge at CdG Paris and pissing myself laughing....like annoying other serious businessmen. Your post is excellent!!!

I'm am huge Ferrari fan, have several including the 599 GTO. And I wouldn't buy an Aventador to save my life. Not because I don't admire it, I think I'd look like a prize dick.

My 27 year old daughter adores anything Lambo, to drive not be driven. She would die for a black Aventador. She's mad but I adore her too. Yet she barely lifts her head at my F50 or F40 while I almost cry over them.

So your post is spot on. The 599 GTO is a great car, a brilliant car but if had the balls I'd buy a Bull. Because in terms of WTF impact, the 599 GTO can't compete. Mind you, not sure it tries. Great post, thanks!

 

hahaha I was trying to be factual not funny though

i admit the dick extension aspect of the aventador is definitely more pronounced, but I do also feel like superman in fcars too, so I call that a tie.

ur daughter must be very smart not to be driven in lambos, because everyone I took for a ride wants to get out or threaten to puke in just a couple of lights.
if u think our gto shifts are brutal ........, u will think a bus rear ended u the first time u shift in the aventador at over 7k!

About 18 months ago three cars lined up abreast in a tunnel in Hertfordshire, UK. Two 599 GTOs and a bright green Aventador. Mine was one of the GTOs. Windows down, max revs, the sound was insane. What made me laugh out loud (not that I could hear) was the back of the Aventador was about 6ft in front of me and a few feet to my right. Remember I'm RHD so when that monster changed gear it shot a huge plume of blue flame out of its exhaust. Hilarious. Enjoy.

 

That's why I got the lambo race car... That way I'm only around other prize *****s 😉

Now if I can only find the time to take it out!
