    Yes, but so far no maint history, no tool kit. Typical dealer doesnt no much about the car but talks alot of fluff. As with any used car purchace, I much rather deal with the owner how knows about the car. I am also torn whether to get a Diablo or a Countach.

    all considered i like the countach a bit more and i think is the best investment

    the diablo is faster though, quite a bit faster

    I wonder if this is the one that was for sale by Park Place in Washington a few years ago. There was a member here that bought a white one from them and it needed alot of work. Roy is this the same one???

    Dear Lamborghinisti,

    Hmm...since there are only a few white ones....make sure you do a ppi.

    Ray G spent a ton of money on his old white D...$20K on transmission work and it still didn't drive right. Chip on LP bought a white one...the one that had the engine driven with no oil...didn't do a PPI and was really caught out with huge expenses. I don't know if this car is any one of these...but do your homework.

    BTW, forget a CT, get a Diablo....it's super fast, insanely exotic....and gets chicks.. :D

    ouch....looks like white ones are not lucky! a pity since they do look great in white
    this one looks interesting since a mid 90's 2wd diablo is a very very rare variant

    as for the countach: it is the original exotic, pretty fast and ....who told you that it does not get chicks ??

    I can go look tomorrow if you'd like. What salesman did you speak with? Did he give you the VIN?

    Actually I spent $30k on it and it kept giving me problems. That car has had a few different owners since me and eventually Chip on LP bought it. From his posts on LP they have been working on it for over a year. I feel bad for him. That car is cursed. There is a reason they call it a Diablo, that car is the devil!

    The one at Marshall Goldman is not my old car though. Mine was a 1991. With all of that being said. Get a Countach, that is the original. The Diablo is a better car (except in my case) but it is an evolution of the Countach.

    In the U.S., a 96 2wd Diablo, is an unusual car.



    I found the Diablo to be a big car with a lot of power.

    Countach requires more effort to drive.

    Countach has nice hand built feel - especially the earlier models.

    Drive both cars. It may take more time, to get a feel for the Countach.

    I appreciate the offer. But please only if you have some spare time on your hands. I am looking for an original paint (or minimal touch up) car with an un-re-died interior.

    With the majority of the responses, you guys are pushing me back to the Countach :confused:

    Dear Ferraristi,

    hahahaha....I wonder who coined that phrase.... :D



    No ! No ! No! Diablo all the way...it's so much meaner looking. All the Ferraris just run and hide when a Diablo is in their midst.

    When you drive a Diablo...this is what you get.....

    Not the same car. That car just got back on the road after a year with Chad Bolles and is owned by member Chipster over on LP. This is a different car.

    ........................................................................................................................................................................ I think it goes this way, if you buy a Diablo , then later you will think you should have bought a Countach, or vice versa, if you buy a Countach, then you will think I should have bought a Diablo, after hearing the horror stories on the white Diablo that needed all the work and is still not good , its a toss up ., but the grass is allways greener on the other side of the street , Good luck .

    Here's a photo that I took of the Diablo in their new showroom earlier this month: http://www.flickr.com/photos/carguy98photos/5069953276/

    If you call them up for info on the car, ask for John Ashe. Very nice salesman there and a true auto enthusiast. :)

    (Please note that I've never had any sales experience at Marshall Goldman... I just go to their dealership every few weeks to take a look at the cars)

    Good luck!

    Hey Ray. I have been following Chip's ordeal for the past year now on LP. Didn't know that was YOUR old car until now. Wow.

    ....................................................................................................that would be great , I can`t do it now, but I thought i had a buyer for my Diablo, and had the money spent allready on the 100,000 mile Countach that is on another thread, but the buyer disappeared, now i have another guy interested in my car , and the car still needs alot of body work, So if i can buy the Countach, later i know i will miss the SV , thats for sure,I have lambo fever.

    Bought a car and pretty much had it die the first time he drove it. Had to send it out to get fixed and it cost a lot of money. Just bad luck.
