OK, it is a FACT!!

Well most of you know I have had a lot of Lambos. My favorites of course are the 2001 Diablo 6.0 cars. I started off with a Lamborghini 2001 6.0SE #19 with 155 miles on it new and NO KNOWLEDGE of the car or brand some 6 years ago or so. It now has over 30,000 miles on it, orginal clutch and is still my baby.

But in this short time I have gained a lot of knowledge on these cars and have had in my possesion and operated at least 50 or more of the 2001 6.0 cars in the USA. I have seen good and bad, the full spectrum. I currently have 11 2001 6.0 cars in stock, ranging from 3,800 miles to over 30,000 miles.

I have always been a stunch supporter in the fact that higher mile cars, taken care of correctly and up to date service are better and stronger cars than the lower mile garage queens. Well after yesterday, there is no second thoughts in my mind!!

I bought 2001 Diablo 6.0SE #34 a few months back from another Dealer, it had 26,852 miles on it. YEP high miles, but bought it right. It went straight to Steve at Driven Exotics - The Lamborghini Specialists in California, were I send all my cars for a good look over and needed corrections.

Yesterday it arrived at my shop here in Seattle after 2 motnhs with Steve in Cali. OK, OMG..this is one HELL of a strong car. I put about 75 miles on it yesterday. No squeeks, no rattles juat a TIGHT STRAIGHT CAR. New brakes on it stop on a dime and no DUST! The shifting is like butter with new fluids and adjustments. The custom exhaust with MURCIE tips for louder F-1 MOAN are just assume. The power and drive, OMG, PLENTY and scratch the tires in second gear shift ..just one strong car.

The weak points on this car:

1) Drivers door strut is getting weak, should be replaced in the future.

2) Some small chips, road rash on just the hood, can re-spray hood in future, already did the bumper complete and the windshield is new. rest of paint is excellent shape, even the leading edges..as well as lower CF rockers.

3) Center arm rest leather is a bit stretched and some scratches in it, rest of interior is as if NEW! Even the dash has no stretching or cracks.

Yes of course I sell these cars, BUT, I have to stand behind it as well. This IS ONE great CAR!!
AND of course carries my 100% Money Back GUARANTEE..

"If it arrives and it is not what you thought or wanted, no questions asked, send it back and a 100% money back refund!"

Maybe I should do a "Bid a car" auction on this one..?

It's just everytime I drive a higher mile car, it seems that much better than a 5K or 8K mile car I test drive...I AM certain of that with all the cars I have driven and tested.

Roy, i am going to call you out - you're clearly full of it and the only way to prove it is to lend me this car for a weekend to test the car back to back with a similar model with less miles.

PM me for my address where to ship the cars.

My record is clean, man up Roy - what's better for business than showing that you are just that dedicated?

I'll drive them back to Seattle for you.

Roy, I know you say it drives strong even at 30,000 miles, but how would you compare the reliability of an '01 Diablo over a newer used model like an 06 Gallardo.

IMO and experiance, the 2001 6.0 has been very reliant to me...on my own 6.0 I have over 30K miles as well, regular maintance and one water pump is all so far.

I think the Newer Lambos are bullet proff also, 2005 Gallardo and up as well as 2002 Murcie and up.

It comes down to, for me, a production car which can almost drive itself, or a Hand built low numberes DRIVERS car...
