In nearly 35 years as a small, hand-built automobile manufacturer,Lamborghini has produced not quite 10,000 automobiles.By these standards, even Ferrari must be considered a mass-producer. They define the very archetype of an exotic car. Whispering the names Miura, Diablo, and the immortal Countach are sure to elicit expressions of desire from the most seasoned enthusiasts.

Until recently, only a very select few could experience the reality behind the dream. The dramatic and speculative increase in exotic car prices in the late 1980s placed these cars in the hands of the priveleged few. The Countach - easily the most recognized and exotic model of the marquee - sold in the vicinity of a quarter million dollars (US) in 1989. However, since the crash of the exotic car market in the early 90s, the price of Lamborghini and Ferrari has fallen .

Judging by the availability of these cars and the asking price published in a variety of sources, the market for a number of recognized models appears to have reached its lowest point over the last year. If you've ever wanted to experience the most exclusive sports car ever produced, now is the time to 'invest'.
