try again....

Coco...if you want to buy a Countach consider carefully.

1. You will need deep pockets to buy
2. You will need deeper pockets to maintain
3. They are terrible to drive
4. They are built like crap

I now have a testa and a countach. 
I will gladly drive the Testarossa daily. 
I would think twice before taking the Countach around the block.

I know the $365K Countach for sale. 
It is great..mine is not that far behind it in terms of its condition.

These cars are rare, tightly held  and will definietly become collectors items.

Why?

After being the owner of one  i have no idea.....Then again why would someone pay $1M for a Phase3 GT HO.

Treat the Countach as a piece of art and hang it on the wall. 
Nice to look at, terrible to drive.  Completely impractical
Gandini must have been high when he designed it...

It still draws a crowd today.
Even when parked in my driveway.


At $365K  this Countach is on the ball.

Even if you searched for the very few Countach's available on a world market, you would not get much change from $365K  if you were to import one and comply it.

Then you would have to take the gamble that it does not need any work done to it.

Common problems
Oil Leaks  and Electricals:- Factory Standard!
Fires Common!

A good Countach will sell in UK for around $100K Pounds...  Call it $415K Landed
An anniversary at bargain price of $60K Pounds Call it $250K Landed

US Prices during a financial crisis:-
Around US$130K  call it $330K Landed
US Anniversary prices around  US$110K  call it $280K Landed.

Then you have compliance costs, and if you want conversion costs LHD-RHD


Remember
what ever you pay for the car:-
Add $7000-$10000  for shipping, port costs, clearing fees, insurance
then add
10% duty on top of that figure
then add
10% GST on top of that figure
Then add
33% LCT over around $59000 on top of the previous figure

Then
Open your "lucky dip" when it gets here.
I have heard of people importing "plums" that turned out to be write offs and absolute crap cars.

I have heard the guys selling the Black Countach will take a crunch on the price.
Quite frankly what he is prepared to sell it for now, is an absolute bargain.

If you can park $300K and forget about it...then i think a Countach will turn out to be a good investment.
It will probably out perform property in the next few years.






Send me a personal message and i will pass on the details.
