Your Turbo is a better car than a Diablo but if you were talking about the new LP-560 it would be a different story.

I agree with David9962000. I think the 996TT is a better car than the Diablo. However, I would take a Gallardo or Murcialago over the 996TT anyday. Diablo may be more exclusive but I like the looks and feel of the Pcar better.

I'd keep your turbo unless you want to become good friends with your Lambo mechanic.

i also would not trade for a diablo. it's a difficult car to drive. Very poor visiability and if you're a bigger guy, forget about wearing shoes when you drive (pedals are very close together).

I would definatly trade it up. The 6.0 is the last of the diablo beside the 6.0se that came right after it.

The 6.0 will always keep its value, its pure carbon practly throughout and with a RWD conversion is one mean machine!!

From what I have read if it is a good example that hasnt been trashed , they are quite reliable if maintained properly.

Plus lets not even go into the looks of the 6.0, it is easily on my list of the top 3 sports cars to own along side the CGT and F40.

So I say if you have the chance definatly go for it.

PS go half way down the page and take a look at that Orange 6.0

a buddy offers me his diablo 2001 in yellow 10.000 miles for198.000$
the only problem is .. the car had a crash (60.000$ damage) but it is rebuild by the lamborghini dealership in stuttgart

is it overpriced?

I don't know if it is overpriced, but serious crash/damage ($60 thousand dollars or euros is a lot) will destroy resale. Maybe that's why your 'buddy' is offering it to you...

Sure, the exotics can be crazy expensive to fix- a fender, hood and front suspension might be $60k... but when you look to resell it there are many people who will just not get past that...
