My wife and I actually went to Domani and took a look at this car. The car was far from Muesum quality as he has posted in ebay. Futhermore Domani Motors is a very scary place to do business with. My wife sat in the car and closed the door, when she did the front turn signal cover on the drivers side fell out. It Was actaually kind of funny to watch the salesman scramble to explain why a museum quality car had such an issue. In additon to that there was a huge oil leak on the front drivers side compartment in the engine bay. Once again his explaination was it was a countach and they leak oil....which they do but this was not a quarter size leak. Futhermore after closer inspection of the pedals and drivers side seat I would venture to say the mileage is not correct on this car. I have no proof of that just a hunch based on the wear on both the pedals and leather on the seat. The main reason this car has not sold however is they want way to much money for all their cars. As well as being overinflated on their prices they treat there perspective clients as people who have no right owning there cars. I will never buy a car I can't start up and drive before I purchase it...whether it is a $1000 yugo or a $350,000 Murci and when I asked them to start it up there reply was " you pay for it first and you can do whatever the hell you want with the car" I said Wow and they said if I didnt like it they would refund my money.....yeah right. I also asked for service records on the car and he handed me a carfax statement.........I asked for service and maintence records they are no existant, therefore I bought my countach via Motorcars in Missouri where i got all service records and even pictures of the engine out service.

so just out of interest how much value do you think the countach will be worth in 5 years (2012) and 10 years (2017) is it a good investment?

Like I said, the worst thing for CT's is to leave them in the garage, my car had the behaviour of a garage queen too when I bought her with 11800 km in 2001. Meanwhile she covered 48t km and runs every time, the last issue is the relais box in the trunk, but imagine what I did yesterday: I brought her to the car electrician to replace this 20 years old italian junk with a modern box, suitable wire diameter etc.

who knows?
if classic cars market holds it probably is
you have to take in consideration you have to find a good one, drive it and keep it in good shape (it is not cheap )

an year ago i would have said buy an LP400 and you can't go wrong, now buyng an LP require serious money
IMO today's best value for money are 5000S 2V cars

This justs proves what so many have thought. Domani is a dealership to be AVOIDED at all costs. Caveat Emptor

For me I just don't care for the 25th Anniversaries. I like the older LP looking models. White with red interior to me is... well... not very attractive! I don't like red interior at all. I know this car has been for sale in DuPont Registry and in the Ontario Trader and I remember he was asking over $144K if memory serves me correct. It looks like a nice and very clean car but black is the only color I'm interested in!

Actually the one in the Ontario trader I believe to be a pearl white car with higher miles, but with good history. This car is not pearl white. They were asking 134 CDN for that car.
It seems that for a while only anniversarys were available and now there are very few for sale. When they are though, I think 90-100 should get a good one. I love the look of them from most angles and have driven my old one and an anniversary and the refinement of the anniversary is superior.

I like the wheels on the Anniversary. What looks cool is a black 25th with those wheels! Looks awsome! For me, I just like the looks of the older LP models. Just cleaner looking. But that's just me.
