Official Countach Value Thread

Congrats Jason!!!!!

Too bad you couldn't hang around the Northwest a couple days longer and come out to the Exotics @ RTC event this Saturday! You could have met a lot of us "northwest" dudes! We could have parked our Countach's together! We could have had my 1986, your '87 and Roy could have brought his 88. Heck, we could have had a Countach extravaganza!!!! LOL!!!

Mike

 

Enjoy Jason

Another example of cars being brought to the market with silly asking prices, a phenomena that seems to be pervasive. Been for sale for 3 years.

 

I still have in stock, but not advertised on my site

S2 Black Low Body

S1 Red Low Body (just came in-but dont think I will be offering it for sale just yet)

Inbound 1986 QV, Black on tan as well

 

All S1's are known to us.

Hope you are well.

Best,

 

True.

That's Bill Loughran's old car which he received new and kept for almost 20 years, never drove it. I saw it in Preston in the 1980s.

At those numbers, I believe it to be sale-proof.

Meanwhile, here is what frustrated potential/future Countach owners have been spending their money on recently.

LOL Roy 0 Peter 1

Known..? I am sure it is..not like there is ton of them out there..and NOT all of them go through Joe's hands..

It should be here with in the hour as the trucker just called from Tacoma with his location, which is about 45 minutes south of me. First time I will be seeing it first hand.

I do not intend to keep it for a very simple reason...I am not a LOVER of Red Lamborghini's so having the one Lp400 Red Periscopa is enough for me to keep...and I guess it will be a while since Joe thinks its asking price is "Guarantee non sale" amount LOL

PS..you all may notice my better spelling etc etc..I am now using, based on multiple requests the Automatic spell checker 'Firefox" LOL

 

Looking forward to pictures of both the S1 and the QV!

 

I think in order to save your customers and yourself such headache and frustration, make your life a lot easier....YOU should just start "Brokering" Ferrari's and leave the Lamborghini's to the rest of us "Frustrated" CURRENT owners that are happy with our cars and just have no intention to give them away as a red headed step child to take second chair to Ferrari.

I think you should advise your customers..

No problem, don't buy this Lamborghini, after all, not like there is 25 of them to pick form..BUT I do have a Ferrari AND yes there are 55 of them to pick from at any given time...AND maybe that's why they are in a less price "window" as they can be negotiated against each other due there numbers availability..???

 

In the USA you can buy an Annivesario for circa $115k, in Europe this Grigio Annivesario pictured below (love the sports seats) asks ASKS 150k Eu or approx. $195k. And it has 69,000km!

Well, I have a Spain/Madrid-based client who has been looking for an Annivesario and the price disparity between the USA & Europe is so vast that today we purchased a low-mileage USA car and are shipping it there.

Interesting times.

Very Nice car Joe. What would say on a the scale for condition?

FI or DD?

 

Does the price included books, tools, history on the car, service records, PPI report (copy of)...is it need of "nothing"?? I ask because there have been multiple buyers that have looked at several 89 cars in the last month in the 120K plus range..that were not exactly, how shall we say..as described correctly by the selling party or "Brokering" party..

SO, either it is a GREAT buy and a GOOD find...or it will be another "Hostage" held car that ends up costing more when all said and done.....

 

Pictures today are so easy to mis-lead us into "perfection"..just as when we were kids with the all "secret hidden" Playboy centerfold LOL

 

The sport seats look nice. What just sold 89 Countach is leaving US now?

 

I understand Roy, but eye candy is eye candy and a CT is one version of adult eye candy... at least in my eyes. Not to say I would turn down the later.

 

Yes, I agree, just wanted to point out a "Pretty" picture is not always a "needs nothing" car..

As for Cosmetic value, it is stunning!

 

I appreciate your "thread" Police attempt..but it was and is a valued question, sorry if you think it is "directly" pointed at Joe..maybe that's the problem..we don't ask enough questions here to get the answers we all deserve in Public, not behind "Attorney's" and private e-mail and PM'S..regardless, me or anyone else..if your on the up and up..you should NEVER EVER have a worry to answer a question in public and let the buying and opinion power of the Public be served correctly.

 

True, not all of them will go through my hands. I don't expect that, nor wish for that. But, my statement was "all S1s are known to us". Nothing more implied.

As for the LP400, at the price you e-mailed me you'd let it go, it is sale-proof. That's my opinion, and I said exactly that to you privately as well. However, I encourage anyone who wishes to pay that number to do so if it makes them happy.

 

Roy:

I am a Countach owner too, but I am open-minded and love other marques too. I love Lamborghini, ergo my frustration with the Countach market which I share with buyers.

The fact that I am able to do as much business as I do in the Ferrari market only heightens my frustration with the Lamborghin market. However, I'm not going anywhere. I will remain a Lamborghini enthusiast, owner, and someone who specializes them. Hope this helps.

Best

 

This Annivesario is a DD, sold new to Tidi Goulandris by the Belgian dealer, a car I knew in 1990. I has 69k km so it is showing its age and Id rate it as a nice driver.

But it is only pictured as a comparo to show what $195k buys, when my client can buy the same thing for $115k in the USA. There is an opportunity in this market with Annivesarios....

 

Red/tan 1990 USA spec car 12,600 km, $115,000. Another one goes away.
