Reply to "Pantera #7206 - GTS"

David,

I personally feel that people who sell GT5 and GT5-S Panteras sell them for too little. How can you buy an updated Pantera for 60k, (that there are THOUSANDS of) but a rare model like a GT5 or GT5-S (less than 100 here?), even updated ones, for 65-75k? I just don't get it. IMHO, they should start at 80k. I'm not trying to price you, or anyone else out of the higher end models and make them unaffordable. Afterall, I can't change what the market will bear by myself, and I don't want to. Comparatively speaking, I just think they're under priced.

I place value on the fact that my Pantera IS a GT5-S, one with low miles that is in good shape. (It would be in better shape if I never drove it, but it wouldn't take much to 'top it off'.) I place more value on it because it is a Pavesi Targa, and I feel rightfully so (they ARE ultra rare, documented, factory conversions). I would not sell my Pantera for less than 100k. I'm not crazy, I'm just not trying to sell it. I wouldn't feel comfortable parting with it for less than that, so I wouldn't. For those who say, "With that attitude, he'll have it forever!" To them I say - Good for me!

David, you've come across as a decent guy, and I think you're already fitting right in with our community. I wholeheartedly encourage you to pursue your GT5-S. They are great cars, and you will not be disappointed. I look forward to your excited posts that you've got your Pantera and are showing it off for all of us to admire!
