My Diablo

Here it is guys.
Its a 1995 2WD Diablo with SV look-a-like body kit.

I can't see the picture...

Sorry guys, I think the file is too big.
And I don't know how I can compress it.
I'll try again.

Sorry don't know why its not working.
Anyone who wants to see it can leave their email here
and I'll try to email it to guys.

Email me the pic when you get a chance. If you need it scaled down or compressed higher I could do that for you.

Thanks for your offer.
Be great if you could scale it down and post it here for me.

Alright, lets try this again...

I like the SV wheels in black. Are those real SV wheels?

Dear Thrash,

Thank you for compressing the image and posting my car on this site.


Eric

Those are just the original wheels sprayed black.

Congratulations on purchasing the last of the mad bad crazy cars.....

Absolutely stunning in black - one mean mofo!

This car did not cost too much.
I consider it a bargain.
It did not cost more than a new BMW M3!

Eric - do you have a crossover sports exhaust like the one Jabba has on his car?
Unleashing that crazy Diablo sound is a huge part of the appeal of the car.

My car is running on the same spec as the SV exhaust.
The only mods I have made are in the air intake/filter system.

1. Whats wrong w/ it? (high miles, dents dings, scrapes?)

2. Where do you buy M3's at?

WOW

nice pic!!

but when you buy your next m3 plz post some pics here! hehe

I don't have a BMW M3.
I was just saying that for the price I was willing to pay for a car
I could have either bought a new M3 or this second hand Diablo.
Of course I would not think about the M3 now!
I think the Diablo is worth every cent it costs.

would have done the same! hehe

how many km?

The car has 9300 KM on the clock.
Hong Kong is a small place,
I only manage to put in about 20-25 Km/Week Max.
I only drive it 2 times a week.

ERIC!! Its is a small world. That car was my neighbors' car. Did you buy it from Carcity in Happy valley? I remember when my nieghbor bought that car, i almost crapped my pants. He only had it for a few days though. Hey since you take it out a few days a week do you think you could come pick me up?:D :D

OK...WHAT IN THE HECK DO YOU GUYS DO FOR A LIVING?? I HAVE A BS IN COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS. AN MCSE IN WINDOWS NT4.0 AND 2000. I ALSO JUST PASSED THE FIRST OF 3 TESTS FOR MY CISCO/ CCNE CERTIFICATION. I STILL CANT BUY A DIABLO??

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO??

THANKS :confused: :confused:

I don't think having a job has anything to do with ppl owning lambos. They personally have exterior "suppliments", such as investment returns from real-estate, businesses, etc to help them attain such luxuries.

Remember having a job means u can only work x hours, and no more. If u actually think a boss will pay u more for doing the same amount of work, think again.

So yea, they rely on other sources of income to attain these properties. Although if u have a very high paying job u can buy a lambo, but what's the point getting stuck in the office most of them time instead of enjoying the car.

Buying a car is not always about money.
Its about passion. But of course never over spend.
The car I bought was second hand.
I would never buy it brand new as I cannot justify myself to spend
that kind of money on something that will only depreciate.
If were to spend serveral million on a something it better make me money otherwise forget it.
The car shown as I said did not cost more than a new BMW M3. Even my neighbors new MB S 500 cost more than my car.
But I think my car is far sexier than a block of metal on four wheels with no character.

Eric,

Congratulations on your Diablo purchase, I was wondering if there is any law in HK that states that the dealer or seller of the car has to inform the buyer if the car has been in any accident? My father lives in HK and he told me that buying second hand cars are a bit tricky since you never know the story behind it. how isyour diablo? How many diablo owners are there in HK? I would suspect only a few since it is quite a difficult car to drive in such small and uncomfortable roads.

Yes buying a second hand car can be a night mare.
The best thing is to know a mechanic and be-friend him.
Ask him to make an evaluation before you buy.
And when you buy, be prepared to expect small problems,
after all it is only a second hand car - hence its much cheaper.
So don;t expect it to be like new and trouble free.
But I believe the saving you make by buying second hand more than compensates for the problem you will encounter with the car.
And don't forget, when buying new you suffer 30% depreciation immediately in the car market.

Eric,

Thank you for the tips. Is that what you did with your diablo? Is there any warranty on your car? Do you have a Lambo mechanic friend to do work on your car? Is this your first exotic car? How does the ride feel? I had a friend buy a diablo brand new in 1991, he told me that he stalled the car 100 times because of the clutch, its too heavy!! Is it the same on your VT? I really like the SV air scoops on the engine cover, and the black wheels are perfect.

:eek: holy crap! awesome car Eric, btw what type of job u have becuz damn u must be rich to have kickass Diablo :)

btw im new here :finger: :devil: prepare to see me alot in the future :D

Dear Diablo_VT,

You don't have to be rich to buy a Diablo.
The car I bought was a 1995 model.
It cost less than US$ 100,000.
So here you go, just work hard and save hard and you can enjoy the fun of a Lamborghini.

yea buy i 1992 diablo with some km and you wonßt pay more than 80000$!

Eric,

Did you buy your car in CarCity? I live in Stubbs Road and I pass through that place quite often. The cars that people only see them in magazines, I saw them all there!!!!

I saw they test drove the CLK DTM, a Saleen they parked in front of their shop, many Ferraris and Lambos, Porsche of course... Man that price for a Lambo is UNBELIEVABLE!!

:eek: really nice car

Dear Asia Tees and Gemballa,

Thank you for your kind appreciation of my car.
I love my cars.
I make a point to wash and wax them myslef.

or go to lamborghini or ferrari :D

Menu dei motori>>>>or go to lamborghini or ferrari
:smoka:

I wash my car once a week only, as I don't use it that often so I find it pointless to wash it too often and only have it collect dust till Sunday.

yea too much washing is bad!
