Re: for alan lambo

60000 pounds?

My trusty Currencly Calculator makes that $143,755 AUD

That's actually pretty good for a 92-93 diablo, considering they were close to 450000 AUD

I'd do a search for Lamborghini UK, it'll give you information of service etc.
That's your best bet. Find the Lamborghini dealers in your area.

Dont worry so much! In the end, a Lambo is just a car, not rocket science! I had a 1992 Diablo and it was a great car. They do not have all the additional gadgetry of the later models, ie. Abs,power steering, adjustable suspension, so less weight, and less to break. By now, most of the early models have had all the updates completed. Check for clutch, a/c, window motors, oil leaks. Drive the car for a good test drive. Bring it to a mechanic, even a Ferrari mechanic for a check-up. The engines in these cars are very strong, most maintenece you can perform yourself. Go for it, and dont look back!
