Which Diablo would you buy ?

roughly around the same price,mate.the 99spec would cost as high as $230k,though;depending on mileage.
both are fab,but go for the audi-fettled 1999 roadster as the quality is higher and performance surprisingly better.
IMHO,the 1999 roadster is much better as an open top car compared to the murcielago.
the murcie does 202mph topless,but only 100mph with the top ON.(rubbish canvas tent,more like!)
the diablo roadster does 201mph with the top ON,192mph TOPLESS.
(the diablo roadster also feels much stiffer and rigid.)

 

From just seeing the photos, I like the blue one better.

 

I like the blue one better.......but on average buy the newest car you can afford right? Also the 99 has been driven while the 96 has sat around more.

 

take the newer one and don't be afraid of milage.....i am a firm believer. my 92 diablo w/ 28k simply runs better than my 97.5 diablo roadster with less than 7k.

 

I agree with the sentiment of buying the newer car. I also would not worry about those miles.

 

silver 99

 

I agree take the newer one. As long as the car has been serviced, the mileage does not matter.

 

I like the blue color better, but I would definitely opt for the newer silver model as long as it has maintenance records and everything checks out.

 

99 is a better buy. It has the new larger wheels (although) the one in the picture has been changed, larger brakes, dual airbags, new dash, much less produced and last year produced. Holds its value much better.

By the way looking at the sidemarkers, these cars both seem to be Euro, are they? For a US car, a 99 at $155 with 20K miles is a very good buy. 99 Roadsters, 6.0s and 94 SEs have been going up in value.

 

..........both so nice looking.....go silver...

 

The blue one is a much better looking car, but the silver one has the updates...

go silver...

 

Blue one. Elegant yet terrific.

 

I like the blue, but im wary of the mods that brought it to the alleged 600 HP....any listing on this? also, generally the newer one will give u less trouble, its a consideration even if mileage is/was a bit higher...

 

ill have to say i do preffer the rims on the blue one quite abit more...

 

I would buy the 99.......like the bigger brakes ect.....and the interior.

 

...........drool.....those are the only chrome rims i find acceptable on lambos...

 

sorry kent i really dont know what make they are...im more then sure you can get them not chromed as well....ill go on a litlle mission to find this stuff out...

 

Nice, but heavy wheels. I personally would not change my wheels just for looks.

 

..........my search isnt turning anything up.....ill keep going...

 

I know this is tantamount to BLASPHEMY, but I have a 99 SV with half the miles that you are looking at and frankly I find it to be a POS. I traded a Ferrari for the Lambo and the Ferrari is twice the car that the Lambo is or purports to be. The car is awesome looking and performs as advertised, BUT it is HOT, NOISEY and PROBLEM prone. Whatever you decide I would look at it very closely and talk to some people that HAVE owned one!!!!! If it has a lift system look at that very closely---if you have to fix it, that is one very expensive repair.

 

The 99 roadster is one of the most desirable for the reasons stated by Roy.
The rims on the yellow car appear to be Lowenhart BS5. Difficult to see from that angle...

 

?
I had a 355 before the Daiblo and the Diablo is 10X the car! I have no mechanical issues, car runs cool and is not noisey even with Tubi. Any car that was purchased without due dilligence can be problematic.
