Reply to "PANTERA MARKET ?"

Things are way down but it isn't just Panteras. There are some screaming deals on Vipers, Vettes and Porsches too. Anyone seen how cheap pleasure boats are right now? My good friend picked up a new ZO6 with very low miles for $50,000 a few weeks ago. What do you think that does to the price of everything else thats cheaper than that. The situation isn't helped the fact the Pantera is being forgotten. You rarely ever see one any more and there are side issues like the magazine going away the transaxle prices. There is no more publicity for the car and what there is can be bad. A Pantera is a luxury item. You don't need a Pantera. I think we all know that a car that costs more to start will be cheaper in the long run but most guys can barely scrape together the $30,000 or so it takes to get their first Pantera and there are a lot of good alternative cars at that price point. I've been drinking the Pantera / Ford Kool Aid since they came out but if I could get $40,000 or so for my car today I would turn around and get a Vette, Viper,or something else where the prices are in the toilet tomorrow.
