Just flicking through the ads as you do and found this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3522844.htm , can anyone explain why you would pay 13k more for a LHD car , these can be bought for 45k or there about , or is the market on the up again for these type of cars ?

not at all mate,my SV is a RHD not a LHD and if you care to have a quick look on mobile.de you will see the price is in accordance with european market and may be thats the aim.Now whether it sells or not thats a different ball game.
When i was complaining about the price that was due to it being priced firstly @ £80k then £85k and then £90k!

For instance you have this http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/showDetails.html...lp=3&scopeId=C&sortOption.sortBy=price.consumerGrossEuro&makeModelVariant1.makeId=14600&makeModelVariant1.modelId=3&makeModelVariant1.searchInFreetext=false&makeModelVariant2.searchInFreetext=false&makeModelVariant3.searchInFreetext=false&negativeFeatures=EXPORT&lang=de&pageNumber=1 or you can have this http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/showDetails.html...lp=3&scopeId=C&sortOption.sortBy=price.consumerGrossEuro&makeModelVariant1.makeId=14600&makeModelVariant1.modelId=3&makeModelVariant1.searchInFreetext=false&makeModelVariant2.searchInFreetext=false&makeModelVariant3.searchInFreetext=false&negativeFeatures=EXPORT&lang=de&pageNumber=1

Probably not , but I'd consider an early Diablo to be priced around 45k-50k , later 96 VT for example 50k to 60k , 98 / 99 SV around the 70k-80k , 98 roadster around 75k-80k , 6.0 litre 80k-90k . Your se's and gt's obviously somewhat more for rarity factor . These prices have been somewhat standard for quite some time now regarding models actually sold , anything outside of these "brackets" appear to be hanging around for quite a while . Just a casual observation but to me the car in question don't have a cat in hells chance of making close to 60k imho .

Amen to that . thumbup

However for any other potential purchaser new to the Diablo market value for money is as always a key point , and you can have this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3400044.htm at 13k less than the left hand drive older 2wd car shown here http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3522844.htm . A classic example me thinks of dealers testing the market compared to a guy who just wants to sell his car . I know which one I'd go for ! wink

The VT one has been for sale for some time now and you would have thought at that price it would have sold by now,maybe its the colour?
