Could’ve changed his own break pads for that price. It’s one of the easier DIY jobs.

I've watched videos of maintenance procedures on high end cars, they're not built with easy maintenance in mind the way normal vehicles are. I wouldn't be surprised if lambo brakes were beyond the reach of the average person and needed specialist tools.

A quick search on Rock Auto shows the current price of the premium tier Bosch pads for an 89 Countach are $25 each.

Although the price in the 90s was probably relatively higher than it is now, but likely not nearly 200x more.
