white diablo at marshall goldman??

They had a hot roadster not to long ago as well ... White looks good on any Lambo . Thinking of buying this car ?

 

all considered i like the countach a bit more and i think is the best investment

the diablo is faster though, quite a bit faster

 

I wonder if this is the one that was for sale by Park Place in Washington a few years ago. There was a member here that bought a white one from them and it needed alot of work. Roy is this the same one???

 

Dear Lamborghinisti,

Hmm...since there are only a few white ones....make sure you do a ppi.

Ray G spent a ton of money on his old white D...$20K on transmission work and it still didn't drive right. Chip on LP bought a white one...the one that had the engine driven with no oil...didn't do a PPI and was really caught out with huge expenses. I don't know if this car is any one of these...but do your homework.

BTW, forget a CT, get a Diablo....it's super fast, insanely exotic....and gets chicks..

ouch....looks like white ones are not lucky! a pity since they do look great in white
this one looks interesting since a mid 90's 2wd diablo is a very very rare variant

as for the countach: it is the original exotic, pretty fast and ....who told you that it does not get chicks ??

 

I can go look tomorrow if you'd like. What salesman did you speak with? Did he give you the VIN?

 

Actually I spent $30k on it and it kept giving me problems. That car has had a few different owners since me and eventually Chip on LP bought it. From his posts on LP they have been working on it for over a year. I feel bad for him. That car is cursed. There is a reason they call it a Diablo, that car is the devil!

The one at Marshall Goldman is not my old car though. Mine was a 1991. With all of that being said. Get a Countach, that is the original. The Diablo is a better car (except in my case) but it is an evolution of the Countach.

 

In the U.S., a 96 2wd Diablo, is an unusual car.



I found the Diablo to be a big car with a lot of power.

Countach requires more effort to drive.

Countach has nice hand built feel - especially the earlier models.

Drive both cars. It may take more time, to get a feel for the Countach.

 

Dear Ferraristi,

hahahaha....I wonder who coined that phrase....

No ! No ! No! Diablo all the way...it's so much meaner looking. All the Ferraris just run and hide when a Diablo is in their midst.

When you drive a Diablo...this is what you get.....

Where are the pics with the panties going down???

 

Not the same car. That car just got back on the road after a year with Chad Bolles and is owned by member Chipster over on LP. This is a different car.

 

........................................................................................................................................................................ I think it goes this way, if you buy a Diablo , then later you will think you should have bought a Countach, or vice versa, if you buy a Countach, then you will think I should have bought a Diablo, after hearing the horror stories on the white Diablo that needed all the work and is still not good , its a toss up ., but the grass is allways greener on the other side of the street , Good luck .

 

To feel better we should buy both a Countach and a Diablo!!! I'll try to do it ...

 

Here's a photo that I took of the Diablo in their new showroom earlier this month: http://www.flickr.com/photos/carguy98photos/5069953276/

If you call them up for info on the car, ask for John Ashe. Very nice salesman there and a true auto enthusiast.

(Please note that I've never had any sales experience at Marshall Goldman... I just go to their dealership every few weeks to take a look at the cars)

Good luck!

Hey Ray. I have been following Chip's ordeal for the past year now on LP. Didn't know that was YOUR old car until now. Wow.

 

....................................................................................................that would be great , I can`t do it now, but I thought i had a buyer for my Diablo, and had the money spent allready on the 100,000 mile Countach that is on another thread, but the buyer disappeared, now i have another guy interested in my car , and the car still needs alot of body work, So if i can buy the Countach, later i know i will miss the SV , thats for sure,I have lambo fever.

 

eBay has another white '91 listed in Monee, IL.

 

What type of ordeal has he been going through?

 

Bought a car and pretty much had it die the first time he drove it. Had to send it out to get fixed and it cost a lot of money. Just bad luck.
