Keep or sell?

abstract · 07-12-2001, 05:46 AM

I need some advice. Should I upgrade to the new 6.0 Diablo, or should I keep my '99 Diablo VT. It is car #5 of 12 in the Alpine Edition.

Don't get me wrong I love my car, but the reason why I ask is, I was driving the other day and a blue 6.0 pulled up next to me, and I could not help but feel a little inferior. Even though my car might be a tad faster because of the exhaust upgrades, not to mention that mine is about 30k more than a standard 6.0, but I still don't know?

What do you think?

Well, if I was in your position, it would be a touch choice for me as well. Both of the cars are the cream of the crop, the only thing is the 6.0 is newer. What I strongly suggest is that you get the 6.0 and sell me your VT. I will buy it off of your hands for a VERY low price

Now, enough messing around. This really does seem like a dead lock. Can't you get the 6.0 and keep the VT, so you have both? If you can't do that, I say you should stay with the VT, simply because it's more rare than the 6.0.

i would go for the 6.0 it looks alot better, and newer.... but it's a tough choice

if you really own a Diablo, you have enough money to buy me a honda civic or something right? that's just penny change for you! please reply

Hi there,

keep the Alpine Edition, the Diablo VT 6.0 is an end of life model, the new Lamborghini will be available starting from next year and you'll see a sharp drop in value for the 'old' VT 6.0, since there is not limited edition (only the 40 Diablo SE 6.0's) the Alpine Edition should keep it's value a lot longer.

Do note however that your car was only sold in the United States,
the rest of the world never received a special Alpine Edition of the 1999 MY Diablo VT, just like the Momo Edition Roadster, US model only, built on order for the US distributor at that time.

Kind regards

I say keep the one you have. It's rarer than the other Diablo's. 2cents

Keep the one you got

I say keep the Alpine, and where in so-cal are you, because i am going there for thanksgiving and i am going to be hooking up with a 1996? black Diablo, my friend met the guy and didn't tell me much about it. we could cruise the pac. coast hi-way. he also has a 512M.

You sound like your posting to yourself. I also say keep it because the 99' VT is not a how heck of a lot different than the new 6.0 If you felt inferior enough to get one then do it. If you like the new 6.0 then do it. I say keep your Alpine Edition cause it's real rare. BTW, give us feedback, it rare to actually talk to a Lamborghini owner.

Thanks for all the input on my dilema. I think I might keep the one I have and buy a new one also.
Here is a picture of my baby.

Qutie Lovely. Are those polished rims stock? Or is it an Alpine feature? If you do choose to buy a New 6.0 (And have no real problem with colour) get the Blue one, I forget the actually colour's name but, blue on a 6.0 in a match made in Heaven.

igor@af · 08-04-2001, 10:24 PM

You definately should not let this beauty go....

No matter what you do, don't sell it.

gang$tarr · 08-05-2001, 12:19 AM

please buy me a cheap little civic, pleeeeaaasseee if you can afford 2 lamborghinis, a civic is like penny change to you

The car came stock with alloy Lamborghini rims, and the car looked so plain, so I upgraded to the chrome rims, and I think it looks like a totally different car.
In regards to color, I agree with you blue looks stunning on the 6.0, but do you prefer the light blue (snowcorn blue) or the middle blue (Monterey blue) or the darkest blue (Navy blue)?
