    I saw that car on their site and wondered what the story is on the front bumper. I'd also like to know about the dealer itself. They seem to have an awesome inventory, but it feels like they appeared out of nowhere. I once thought Driving Emotions was the 2nd try for the folks at 8887 Exotics, but I've heard they have nothing to do with each other.

    it was at my mechanics for inspection when I went to pick up my car. I don't know too much but I believe I overheard someone saying it needed a decent amount of work since it was sitting so long. Such as fuel lines, etc...

    If you put miles on the car, it will lose some value. The price is based on the low miles.


    A nice Anniversario with 15K miles, should sell for significantly less money.

    Some advice. Do NOT buy a Countach unless you know what you are doing. A PPI is critical as this car will most likely need $$$ of dollars poured into it to bring it up to date.
    Maintenance is expensive and many of the parts for the car are no longer available from the factory so they will need to be manufactured by

    other parties. Thant means more $$$$.
    The Countach can draw a car lover in quicky but, like a beautiful woman, can sting you big time later. I would insist on a PPI at Ultimate Motors in Orlando before I gave them one dollar! One of the best LAmborghini Techs is there and knows the car very well. In fact he did all the work on mine when I had it. They will try to get you to sign some kind of agreement where they will stipulate some rules on the inspection. Do not go there. Simply offer to pay for the transportation of the car to the dealership for the inspection which you will pay for. After the inspection if you cannot come to an agreement then you should pay to have the car returned.
    From my experiance you will find that Thousands of dollars of work WILL be required to bring the car up to date. Insist on repair records but I bet they will tell you they do not have much of them because the car has so few miles. Makes no difference because you are going to find out all you need to know with the PPI.
    Yes I owned an Anniversario and really enjoyed it but you must be prepared to spend what ever it takes to keep it in great running condition and have a great mechanic and Service Manager who really know the car. Ulitmate Motors fills that requirement! Good Luck!
