$89k Diablo????

What do you think about this $89k Diablo? Anyone knows this car, they didnt mention the condition at all and if It's clean or salvage title. How much does the '92 '93 worth nowadays?

after a quick google, i found a website that valued them at 115-125k. 89k sounds a bit low, i'd say check with roy or chris for a good feel on the price.

 

Ralph is the resident Diablo expert so I am sure he will give you some great info

I am thinking with the miles this carhas it will need alot of tlc for them to be offering at that price.

 

If everything checks out, that is a great price even w/ the 40k mileage. Don't let the high Odom. clock deters you...... You can drive it for a couple of years and likely won't lose much money if any. Btw, I do like the color combo.

 

Without even looking at it I'll bet the real price is closer to $120K by the time you fix what it probably needs.

Clutch and brakes will get you more than half the way there.

 

Slightly of topic:

I was working a deal with this dealer a few years back and they were great to deal with. Very honest and straightforward with me.
It was a Porsche I was interested at the time.

 

Just from those pics you can tell the car has not been well maintained.

 

Hello Jay !!!! Long time no hear.


For all the L enthusiasts out in cyberspace, Jay happens to be the easiest guy in the world to talk with. He laughs at all of my poor attempts, at being funny (on the telephone etc...). - Unfortunately, I am not funny. Jay just makes it all too easy. If your wife says you are not funny, give Jay a call.

Also, if you run into a bar fight with a bunch of Ferrari guys, who have a few too many stories about F cars at LeMans, Jay is a good guy to have on your side. Just look at his profile pic !!! LOL.

Ciao
Ralph

 

I tried to buy a car from these guys.
STAY CLEAR of Buyer be warned.
I attempted to purchase a Yellow Maserati Gt (they probably still have it) and almost made a $50,000 mistake. Here is the story:

Saw the ad and called on it. Made arrangements for an independent inspection and full right up to the condition of the car. They took it to the Maserati dealer, but DID NOT have it inspected. I called the dealer and they said the car was there but for a noise and dismissed the guy who brought it in. They tried to lie about the PPI.
In the same moment in dealing with the financial part, they changed things at the last minute which also made me suspicious.
Two strikes was all I wanted to endure.
Hope this helps.
These guys will say anything.

 

Good condition or not, it seems to me that the heavy customization is the main reason for the heavy discount.

 

Jason,

PM me on the "other" site and I'll fill you in.

 

My guess it was probably a repo???

 

LOL! (Just living up to my rep

Good to hear from you too Ralph.

 

Uhhhhhh, no.

 

What's up with the funcky fog lights? Dash looks horrible.

 

This is a car to stay away from.

Everybody wants a good deal. But, when it comes to these cars, there are incredible deals few and far between. A car priced like this has a story, and you will be into more once you take it off the lot. Its better to spend more for a good example, then to buy a good deal and play catch up.

 

I like the way the engine looks.lol 60k is what its worth tops.

 

Jay, good to see you back man!

You are the guy that gave me hope that I could fit into a Diablo!!!

How are things? Still enjoying the ride???

 

I would have liked to payed what that dealer paid for it!

 

What number would you guess that to be? $75k ish?

 

Doesn't look thst bad really. Engine is a bit dirty but big whoop. Go have a look and ask all the right questions. Could just be stale inventory and the dealer whats to move it quick and use the money for another purchase. Could be a consignment car and the owners wants it gone and will take a loss. Or it could just be a car that needs some TLC. Its a complete car and the body looks good. If you are a DIY kind of person, buy it a fix it your self for 1/2 the price of a shop. Have fun with it. I would..

 

Or, it could be POS that looks the best it could ever look and all the damage is internal.

 

Coulda, woulda, shoulda..nobody in this thread knows for sure..so lets wait until real hard evidence regarding the condition of the car presents itself shall we?
