Reply to "Broken Deals"

TT, I'd take action. Get a certified check made out in the Long Beach Pantera owner's name, and ask him if you can swing by and look at his Pantera again, if he still has it. Then, if it's what you really want, give him the check and even peel the cash out of your sock, and match the other guy's offer. You can do the deal 'right now' that way, get the bill-of-sale filled out, sign the title right there and then, and he can't have second thoughts. Just drive it away, and come back for your car tomorrow. If not, maybe ask if he'll give the other guy a deadline. Here's why.

The Euro is at least 30% more expensive than the dollar, so that makes things 30% cheaper for a Eurpean to purchase a Pantera here than there. So much so, that exotic sports cars always transfer back and forth, all over the world, depending on currencies and fluctuating exchange rates. It's even profitable, and easily out weighs the shipping charges. So, I expect to see Pantera prices escalate. Maybe 30%. And Dave is seeing brisk Pantera sales, too. Maybe a partial reason why. New car prices are up there for anything decent, so Pantera prices always follow suit. Best of luck. I'd take action, you can sell it later if you want.
