Here at PI Motorsports, we have sold 3 cars in 2 weeks and have deposits on 2 other cars. We are fielding many calls from interested buyers, probably more than at any time since we opened our showroom in 1996.
We are in need of Panteras and we invite you to contact us if you are thinking of selling your car. We will obtain the best possible price that we can for you. We appreciate the amount of work, expense and sweat owners put into their cars and we feel you are justified in seeking the fairest price possible.
For years, I have admired a particular blue car that has won many Concours trophies and truly fits the description of originality, unmolested and Concours. I had wanted to obtain this car for over a decade because I used to have a blue car just like it and I always appreciated this particular example. It was a superb car in every description.
Recently, I spoke with the owner, who knew well that I was always interested in his car. He informed me that he sold his car because he got an offer he couldn't turn down. He revealed the offer to me that he couldn't turn down: $35,000.00. I told him he was at least $20,000.00 too low (I have comparables to prove this) and that he handed a fortunate buyer a great opportunity.
He didn't express why he thought this was such a great offer but I concluded he simply wasn't aware of the current market situation or simply wanted to turn somebody on to a fantastic deal.
To the lucky buyer, you got a great car and I hope I can see it again at Concours.
To the seller, I can only add that he should have checked out the market before he accepted that offer and I wish him well. I hope that his financial resources are substantial enough that he can absorb a minimum $20K loss.
Maybe he read an editorial somewhere that said Panteras only sell for $35K. Dave
