Reply to "Australian buyer would like assistance inspecting a Pantera in Valencia California"

Wootles -

I agree with you, and think you should keep trying to see if you can get someone knowledgeable to go over and look at the car for you.

I can not dispute what King posted, but just because a car was in the east for a while does not mean it was mistreated.....

Even if you paid time and gas money for an inspection you would be money ahead... If the car is bad, then you saved 40K+, and if it's a good deal, then good for you.

Hmmmmm... Valencia, California.... Are there any famous, knowledgeable, smart, honest and reputable Pantera owners that live, or have an office in that area? Perhaps someone who is well known on this board, and has a long-standing relationship with the DeTomaso Marque?

Hmmmmm....

I will mention that if such an individual exists, and is willing to look at the car, you should try to have him post his results privately. If his assessment is good, and he posts his response here, the price of the car could go higher.


Good Luck, although honestly, I hate to see us in the USA losing cars overseas.....
