Looking at a 2001 Diablo 6.0 (Advice is appreciated)

i have owned a few 360s and a handful of Diablos including a 6.0. too much info. to type. i shall gladly help. 6.0 is awesome. feel free to call me.

check your PM.

 

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get a PPI!!! Can not stress it enough. Also get it done at a different dealer that the dealer you are purchasing from. I know it seems like common sense but you would be surprised the amount of people that get the PPI done at the same dealer they are buying from.

 

Not a big fan on the interior and exterior colors :/

 

My pleasure. My best to your endeavor.

 

Brad,

There is an independent shop in the area. I will look it up for you. When I bought my Orange 6.0 (in the same vicinity as yours), I did the reverse. My 6.0 was being serviced by this independent shop and I shipped my 6.0 to Lambo of DC for PPI.....

PS: Fwiw, Glenn and Wil Mack are top quality people there at Lambo of Wash.

 

Be sure and drive the car as I'm 6'1" (long legs) at about 190lbs and the 6.0 Diablo is too tight for me (for prolonged driving that is); in fact, my Murcie is a bit tight as well (I'd love another two inches of leg room).

Good luck and one thing is for sure, once you go Lambo you'll never go back

By the way, I absolutely love the color combo on the 6.0. you're looking at.

 

dUDE - i HAVE OWNED BOTH CARS AND FOR THAT MUCH MONEY I WOULD BUY A MURCI HANDS DOWN!

 

I've never owned a Lambo so this is purely opinion, but I have seen and heard one with that color combo up close (I think the interior was white not tan, but very close). If the PPI checks out and if you can fit ok, I think you'll be very happy with it! Good luck

 

If the TOY POLICE came to my door tomorrow and said...OK ROY...you can ONLY keep one LAMBO ....which one is it??

Bye Bye Lp 640, Murcie, Gallardo, 97 Roadster, Countach.......

But lay me to rest for ever in my 6.0!! Last car to ever leave me... IMO

 

The early model Murcies are holding their own in resale if you keep the miles down (IMO one of the best buys on the market at this point in time). It's a driver’s car for sure and extremely reliable.

On the other hand, you gotta love the 6.0 Diablo, and it'll hold value nicely if you keep the miles down and treat it well.

Really comes down to personal preference and how much you plan to drive the car.

 

Hey Roy, why don't you tell us something we don't already know

Give up an LP640 for a Diablo, me thinks you're crazy

 

It is obvious that you have never driven Roy's 6.0 SE.

 

I also opted for a 6.0 over a Murcie. I recommend Wil de Groot for the PPI. He is in Frenchtown NJ, which is going to mean travel time, but frankly, I know of no better guy when it comes to Lambos; I doubt anyone here could say otherwise.
I am happy to fill you in on my ownership experience as well. Let me know if you want my contact info.

(mine is rosso vik over snowcorn, with carbon wing, bought as a queen with almost no miles- i've put close to 10k miles on the car in about 2 years of NE seasonal recreation driving).

 

200k for a 6.0? Call me crazy but that sounds insane -

 

Wouldn't matter

 

You have no idea what you are talking about.

 

I have no hesitation in saying my 6.0 SE is WAY more comfort than my
LP 640...

GRANTED the 6.0 SE has differnt seats, different stitching AND electric adjust seats that the regular 6.0 does not have...AND with its different gearing and a few other SE options it is different than the standard 6.0...AND it DOES stay right with my LP640....not in the first 1/8 mile, but after that not a problem pretty darn close...almost non noticeable...

SO, yes I will give my LP640, and easily replaceable car, up ANY DAY of the week for my non replaceable 6.0 SE...

PS loved the first one so much, bought another SE in Gold in case #19 one day wears out....hope not....

 

Yep, I was going to ask which 6.0 SE were you going to be buried in or were you going to do a Houdini.
