Testarossa Price Trends

I think the speculative mania has run out of ideas and the "asian" cars were one of the last cars left to hype. Just when you thought you've seen it all. I haven't bought anything on the higher end since 2014 and havent bought a car since early 2016. Going to buy something fun in the bargain bin next month for the paltry sum of under 3k dollars that's been on my list for over two decades. Will post some pics when its done.

 

Name a couple of brands you are referring to.

 

datsun Z serie
honda nsx
mitsubishi evo

 

Basically anything that has doubled and tripled in value since winter 2013. There are a few that Id love to grab. First gen diablo, Aston Martin v550 (cant even buy one anyway they're all in Europe), Porsche 928, 512tr, etc. I'm happy with what I have and only have room for one more so this will be it for the foreseeable future.

 

First gen diablo cant stay at the $100-$150k mark for much longer. Someday that’ll be the one everyone kicks themself for not buying. Wish I could justify it but I cant. I keep trying to get my friend’s to buy one.

 

Diablo and 512TR on my wish list too!

512 tr has come down but 01 diablo i still see them in high 200s

 

I think diablo's are gorgeous, but a good friend who I have coffee every weekend got rid of his as he said they drive like a tank. I think it just a manner of supply and demand!

 

Not even close. My 98 sv is way more driveable than my 512tr and comparable to my f355

 

I have never driven a Diablo, but I wish. However I drove a murcielago and it was like driving a truck. Slow speed maneuverability due to the AWD system was horrific.

What made the SV nimble? Comparing it to a 355 is pretty interesting, especially considering the SV was pre-audi involvement.

 

Power comes on like crazy - brakes the same way, feels very light and tossable. Great gear box and amazing sound. Sv is rear wheel drive. Maybe the VTs feel like trucks.

That makes sense if its rwd. I thought all diablos were four wheel drive after the first two years.

 

Not the SVs. Watch harrys garage video on the first gen diablo. Worth watching

 

most have not been really driven for years and when they go in for service all sort of stuff is found,most lambo dealers dont even work on them ,i still love them and if i come across a clean one thats been excercised i would be very interested .off all these classic exotics the tr is the best value and they runs so good esecially on a open road the drive never gets boring

 

the sv is very tail happy ,i prefer the vt

 

There's a huge gap between actually selling and ask on those. Every time a private owner nice driver hits the market with 20k or so on it goes for 110-115. Which is a pretty fair price. 140 is too much

 

Any 94 and later Lambo drives much better than a TR. I owned a 99 Alpine addition in Monterrey Blue, a 99 SV and five 6.0 Diablos. The 6.0
Diablos had some Audi in the interior and were by far the nicest inside.

 

That color is outstanding Shamile! The only Lambo color that is 4 stage paint I believe. Rare and beautiful!

 

A Supra comes to mind

 

Got to ride in shamiles car shortly before it was totalled. Man that was a ****ing machine. Loved that color as well.

 

Ferrari....Of course! A lot of sub 5k Ferraris out there.... In miles or price It's Christmass today, so mine will be free!

 

lol...the Diablo VT Roadster!

....not the Murcielago Roadster. You should clarify that

Shamile

I don't know if it's 4 stage paint but it's a very rare color called rosso vik. ...named after Vik Colouian ( sorry for the spelling) who sold all the Lamborghinis from his dealerships in the financial crisis and ran with the floor plan money. Lamborghini flagged all the cars and will not offer that color on any car period.

It really is a beautiful deep metallic ruby. Pictures don't do it justice.
But...that car was recently sold to Roy Cats as I'm moving on to an Aventador Roadster...when the Testarossa sells.

Yes Rosso Vik is the only 4 stage that Lamborghini used. I had a 99 SV in the color. Stunning for sure. Can't wait to see the Aventador my friend!
Merry Christmas!

 

He must have had an early one.....my '99 Roadster is a phenomenal driving car.
