IMHO, some of the ridiculous priced being paid for some pretty unexciting cars at BJ make the Panteras sold there look like a real steal! I'm happy if prices go up a bit. It's not like we pay a yearly tax on the car's value (not in Canada anyway), so why would anyone want the price to go down? What else even comes close for style, performance and exclusivity - even at 50K?
I agree with whip, I bet they would be MUCH higher if sold on Saturday or Sunday.
Last year I was driving my car and a guy in a mid-eighties Monte Carlo waved me over. He got out and made over my car and asked me how much I would sell it for. This hadn't happened before, but I had already devised an answer in my own mind that it would be double what I paid for the car eight years ago. So when I said the price, he didn't even flinch and asked me for my phone number. OMG, I was shocked. SO I spent the next few days looking for what I would replace it with. Anyone considering selling their car may want to go through this excersise to sober them up. The Pantera is the single best bargin on the face of this planet. What are the prices of new cars that are simular?? Like say a new Ford GT?? Yeah I know it lists for $142,000 but try finding one for that. Most dealers want 200K or more. So what can you get to replace a Pantera???
