Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as 10,565 km from new, described as U.S. spec but with a speedometer in km. Original paint shows moderate swirl marks as well as cracking around the roof and panel gaps. Silicone has been used to repair the windshield seal. Driver's side door won't open with the outside latch. Engine bay is dusty but rust and corrosion free. Hoses and wires look good. Underside is rust free. Interior is worn, and the leather is loose on the seats. Scuff marks on the rest of interior leather. Carpet is faded but clean. Looking like a car with more mileage than is represented. Not a bad car, but there are plenty of better Countaches out there. The 25th Anniversary cars were the most refined of the Countaches, but also had the fussiest styling.
Market commentary
Sold at Mecum Kissimmee in 2015 for $378,000, then hammered not sold at Mecum Kissimmee last year at a $325,000 high bid and not sold at a $275,000 high bid at Mecum Kissimmee earlier this year. These cars were on the upswing in 2015, but that's no longer the case today. The reported high bid here was perfectly reasonable given recent transactions for similar cars, and it was even well within Mecum's presale estimate range. Why it didn't change hands is suspect.
