btw. I would even divide early car to two or three diffrent serries, as there are some evolution during production.
yeah...same situation, cept a guy walked up to me and asked it the SV is a kit car cuz he have never seen one in real life...
I disagree because that is somewhere between hearsay and a WAG. You might read my other post, http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/lamborghinichat-com/473046-diablo-buyers-guide-2.html#post143729596.
So are you driving an Aventador today? I'd trade mine in a heartbeat if that offer was on my table. Shoot, I'd consider a trade for a Huracan or even a late model LP Murci.
All of these future predictions are stabs in the dark....but I converse with alot of owners and serious shoppers (have even found cars for multiple people in the last 3 months) and they tend to fall into the early/late/roadster classes I discussed. And there are logical reasons for doing so as I pointed out. pre-'99 VTs are not the rawest variant, not the most advanced variant, and not the rarest variant. I'm not sure what the rationale would be for favoring them over the other groups. Great cars of course as all the variants are and you are lucky to own one as all of us are.
If anyone is going to the Amelia Island show in a couple weeks, i'll have my Diablo 6.0 SE On display, all reasonable offer will be entertained. Car is stunning and flawless, inside, outside and underside. I'll have my Fiat 130 Coupe there too, about as a rare a car as anything on the road, probably less than 100 in existence now, 5 speed too, 100% original time capsule. Stop by and say hello.
I am in the hunt for an early VT to add to my collection. I want the pure early lines, but with P/S and the small dash. And I can't stand the open lights.
This was with a Ferrari / Lamborghini crowd so I don't get that. But if I go to a mall or gas station you always have one smart "a" that asks that. I just tell him sure, it matches my fake Rolex lol Shamile Freeze....Miami Vice!
You can't miss a Diablo in Marrone, but in case, it will be mingled with Fields Lamborghini cars. Im pretty sure its safe to say it'll be the only 6.0 SE there.
My point being that I'm not stabbing in the dark, but stating that there is nothing in play to suggest such an impending flip-flop in value assessments. At the same time that I'm saying the value steps will remain the same with history as my evidence, I'm also saying it's not by much and it matters little (demonstrating that my ownership bias is not a factor).
The only thing that really should influence the value of these cars is: the level of maintenace they have. I would easily pay more for a very well maintained early 2WD than for a 6.0 that is sitting for years - or Roadster or SV. Plus a lot of cars got "customized" and that does not help value at all in coming year. Originality counts! In fact the early 2WD cars are the closest you can have towards the "Countach Feeling" so I predict they will come into focus - but only thos which are in top, top condition. Anything else: do not touch it.
I just look at the historical pricing trends. Whether the early 2wd is the most raw or mint condition, pricing seems to favor the 6.0 I would love to say the Roadster is the most coveted but it's not.....It's the 6.0. When they all disappear into the stratosphere, the next in line will go up. Historically I have seen the 6.0 at the top, then SV's, then Roadsters, then VT's then the early 2wd. Shamile Freeze....Miami Vice!
One thing clear about the collector market is that how if feels, how fast it goes, how well it was made, etc. has little to do with the market price.
...and how car actually look actually count much more. When time goes by, all old cars get slow, that is new cars go faster, so all power and 0-100, is irrelevant. True; some cars get slow in little longer timespan.
That silver and red VT really looks good though. Why wouldn't you want that car I also like the blue 91 Looks great I like that blue.

The market may not be quite what everyone is speculating. Lots of high dollar cars being listed. A few are being sold to collectors. The "good deals" don't seem to be selling at all.
